Wes Anderson Reviews, Interviews & More

Wes Anderson has already started production on his top-secret project The Grand Budapest Hotel. Of course there are few things we know about the film, like that it includes his usual team of actors plus a few fresh faces. He has also revealed that Budapest will be set in the good old '30s and that it was inspired by the great works of Ernst Lubitisch and Billy Wilder. Now...

Pretty much unarguably one of the best films of last year was Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom, though it was only nominated for one academy award -- that being best original screenplay (which was written by Anderson and Roman Coppola). Though its chances are slim, it is still campaigning, and one of the benefits of this campaign is the opportunity to read the...

After this year's Moonrise Kingdom, we're happy to see Wes Anderson lining up his next project. And with Grand Budapest Hotel, he's got a huge cast that's added even more names to the already impressive cast.

First we'd like to welcome you to Oscar Scuttlebutt, ScreenCrave's official weekly column for everything pertaining to the Academy Awards. Each week we'll be talking about a different movie or two and how it might fit into the race.

When we heard that Wes Anderson was teaming up with Tim Burton favorite, Johnny Depp, for his forthcoming movie The Grand Budapest Hotel, we were excited to see what the fruit of that collaboration would be. But we got our hopes up for nothing, because Depp is not in The Grand Budapest Hotel. He didn't drop out, he was just never actually cast in the...

This week brings at least one masterpiece to Blu-ray, one of the year’s biggest films, the year’s best action film, some great popcorn trash, and some Criterion classics. If you want to get everything good, you might need a bigger boat, or something. New: Klown: The Movie: Home video has changed dramatically for little films. So, yes, it’s true this was...

It seems Wes Anderson is keeping himself busy by getting straight to work on a film to follow Moonrise Kingdom, and actor Johnny Depp has already been confirmed to appear in this one – we’ve also got a title; it’s called The Grand Budapest Hotel. Read on for more.

The 2012 Cannes Film Festival full lineup has been announced this morning, and it’s a strong slate of films from such cinematic hotshots as Wes Anderson, David Cronenberg, Michael Haneke, John Hillcoat, Dario Argento and more.  The 65th annual lineup is marked both by the powerful filmmakers included, as well as for a few conspicuous absences.

This week Gary Oldman told CNN about the time he almost lost the Dark Knight Rises script. He panicked because his script was the only one that included the actual ending of the film, but luckily he found it. Also, we've got some neat card ideas for Valentine's Day, and a couple of trailers. Catch up below.

At this point, it's easy to know what to expect from Wes Anderson. Great Performers, a distinct visual style, and maybe just maybe some twee. In Moonrise Kingdom there's Bill Murray, Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, Frances McDormand, Tilda Swinton and Jason Schwartzman in a story about two star-crossed child lovers who escape from a summer camp, which leads to a full...

As we reported last year, Wes Anderson’s new pastel-colored phantasmagoria of Caucasoid ennui, Moonrise Kingdom, has already nabbed Anderson regular Bill Murray, along with the likes of such hotshots as Edward Norton, Tilda Swinton, Frances McDormand, and Bruce Willis.  Well, you can add one more Anderson regular to that list.

Wes Anderson is busy wrangling together the cast for his next movie entitled Moon Rise Kingdom. In typical Anderson fashion, it will feature the usual suspects such as Bill Murray, and a few new faces. According to Deadline, several big name actors are circling the project including Edward Norton, Tilda Swinton, Frances McDormand, and Bruce Willis, yes we said Bruce...

The weekend is officially over, and we have more than a few things to catch up on. Normally we don’t go for the gossipy stuff but the past week was filled with crazy stories. Shia Labeouf was caught in the middle of another scandal - this time involving coffee (more on that below), Wes Anderson found himself on the University of Texas' radar, and Emma Stone is taking a very special cause to...

Last fall, director Wes Anderson did what most people considered the impossible. He adapted the short Roald Dahl story of Fantastic Mr. Fox and turned it into a feature length film. Instead of taking the ever popular route of using CGI, he decided to bring the characters to life with stop motion animation. He also got an A-list cast led by Oscar winners...

Last night the National Board of Review awarded Director Wes Anderson a special achievement award for his latest film, the old school, stop-frame animation Fantastic Mr. Fox starring George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Jason Schwartzman, Michael Gambon, Bill Murray, Willem Dafoe, Owen Wilson. For those of you who have seen the film, there's no real question as to why he's...

Wes Anderson is a very unique individual and a talented director. Unfortunately, the man behind Fantastic Mr. Fox was trashed a few weeks ago by the film's cinematographer Tristan Oliver, for his unconventional directing methods. According to the NYDailyNews, Fox co-star Bill Murray had a few things to say in defense of Mr. Anderson.

We have quite the coverage this week. We literally have interviews and reviews for every movie coming out from Roland Emmerich's 2012 to Women in Trouble. Then there is the more family friendly, but still fun for the adults, Fantastic Mr. Fox by Wes Anderson....

It's been almost 40 year's since the classic children's book, Fantastic Mr. Fox hit shelves in America and the U.K. to the delight of kids everywhere. Author Roald Dahl told a simple story about a fox and his attempts to outwit and for lack of a better word "outfox" three of the richest men around. The story is brought to life on the silver screen by...

Note from the Editor: Straight from London, comes one our latest addition to the team Ben McCarthy with his first response to Fantastic Mr. Fox at The London Film Festival. At the festival I had some issues making the film because, well, London traffic rivals the best in the world. Luckily, I met Ben who I thought had a rather interesting opiniong of the film. Check out his...
