I just figured out where I’ll be on September 29th: in the cineplex waiting for the curtain to rise on the new Wes Anderson vehicle, The Darjeeling Limited.

Anderson’s latest film, which he co-wrote with Roman Coppola and Jason Schwartzman, involves three brothers — played by Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody and Schwartzman – who ride through India on a train in order to grow closer together. Well, at least that’s what I’ve read, and what the trailer shows.

Apple posted the trailer for the film on its website, and I already can’t wait to see it. The trailer’s leaked all over YouTube as well, so feel free to add a big pile of cinematically induced drool to your desk (or semen to your undershorts):

If nothing else, judging by the trailer, it looks and sounds as if we’ll all be spared Owen Wilson’s awful accent from The Life Aquatic. Welcome back, Owen, it’s truly nice to not want to punch you in the throat this time.

  • While we’re talkin’ September movies, Sean Penn has adapted Jon Krakauer’s amazing Into the Wild book for the big screen — Emile Hirsch stars. Interesting. Don’t fuck it up.
