The Most Andersonian Moments In The Trailer For "The Grand Budapest Hotel"

Fox Searchlight just released the trailer for Wes Anderson's new film, The Grand Budapest Hotel. It's got overhead shots, train travel, and Bill Murray, in other words, everything you'd expect from a Wes Anderson movie. Here are some moments from the trailer that are quintessential Anderson.

Hotel people and elevator operators.

The trailer opens in an elevator and the two main characters, M. Gustave and Zero, work in a hotel, just like Royal Tenenbaum and Pagoda in The Royal Tenenbaums. Hopefully Anderson will give us more lines from inside the elevator like "Hit it, Pagoda."

Wide shots and zoom.

There are certain camera techniques that make a Wes Anderson film, well, a Wes Anderson film. One of those is zooming in on a wide shot, as if the viewer is holding a pair of binoculars.

Hopefully Gustave remembered to tie the TV to the radiator like Margot Tenenbaum did.

It wouldn't be a Wes Anderson movie without his typical cast, including Adrien Brody, Williem Dafoe, Jeff Goldblum, Edward Norton, Bill Murray, Jason Schwartzman, Tilda Swinton, and Owen Wilson. Unfortunately, Kumar Pallana, who passed away last week is missing.

Traveling by (and dining in) trains.

This train looks a little fancier than the Darjeeling Limited.

Head-on shots.

Another camera technique that we see in all of Anderson's films.
