Venice Film Festival

I’m a little delayed in getting these added but Jason attended the Venice Film Festival on the 3rd for a screening of The Darjeeling Limited. I’ve added images to the gallery from the festival, though I do plan on uploading more as I get them. I’ve also added stills from Cracking Up and I should have screencaps from the series soon.

Hot Seat: Jason Schwartzman

August 26, 2007 — THE pitch for “The Darjeeling Limited” is enough to send any hipster movie fan scrambling onto Fandango. Director Wes Anderson (”The Royal Tenenbaums,” “The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou”) teams up with actor Jason Schwartzman for the first time since 1998’s “Rushmore” in a drop-dead gorgeous new film about three estranged brothers riding an Indian tourist train in search of meaning and their mother.

With the added sparkle of co-stars Owen Wilson and Adrien Brody, and the same offbeat humor and skewed family dynamics of Anderson’s previous work, “Darjeeling” seems poised to become one of the year’s most beloved art-house flicks. But the movie is notable for another reason, marking Schwartzman’s first turn as a screenwriter. We sat down with the actor to discuss international conference calls, his shadow career as a one-man band, and the divinity of going barefoot.

Q: You wrote “The Darjeeling Limited” with Wes Anderson and your cousin Roman Coppola. Where did the idea come from?

A: Years ago, Wes said to me, “I’d like to do a movie about brothers on a train,” and he wanted me to be one of the brothers. We ended up living together in Paris when he was promoting “The Life Aquatic” and I was filming “Marie Antoinette,” and the story crystallized. We’d walk around and tell each other stories about our lives, and we’d ask each other what these brothers were doing on the train and where they were going. It felt like a murder mystery that we were trying to figure out.

I added the first still from Hotel Chevalier to the gallery, as well as pictures from the press conference for The Darjeeling Limited.

Wes Anderson’s latest film, The Darjeeling Limited, is to be accompanied by a 12-minute short called Hotel Chevalier. This is said to be a prequel to the main feature. Now I can reveal that the short film will star two very big names.

Natalie Portman and Jason Schwartzman apparently star in the short film. Portman also features briefly in the main film, The Darjeeling Limited. The short film takes place in one room of a French hotel (Hotel Chevalier no less!) and serves as “a short epilogue of one heartbreaking history of love and the prologue of the travel told in ‘The Darjeeling Limited.”

Hotel Chevalier will screen in the upcoming Venice Film Festival.

No, this site is not dead. I’ve just been distracted with other sites, especially one where I lost the entire database for the gallery. I am going to make some updates in the gallery over the coming week.

Anyway, Coconut Records opened for Rooney on Monday night for their album release show. There’s a review of the show here, so check it out.
