Wilson Confirms Wes Anderson's Next Project
Filed under: Scripts, DIY/Filmmaking
After teasing us with his involvement in a new Wes Anderson film, Owen Wilson has finally dished out some more info on the upcoming project. I'm not sure why Wilson is the only one talking about this, but hey -- we'll take it.
According to Production Weekly, Wilson confirmed his role as one of three brothers in The Darjeeling Limited. Wes Anderson will direct off a script written by Anderson, Jason Schwartzman and Roman Coppola. Wait, Roman Coppola? What's he doing in there? Hmm, this has me wondering if Schwartzman and Coppola will play the other two brothers? Now, that would be interesting. As previously reported, pic will follow the three boys as they journey through India. An assortment of Wes Anderson-style hilarity ensues.

I thought his next project was another adaptation of a Steely Dan song.
Rather unfortunate. I think he should graduate to adaptations of songs crafted by (the late) Wesley Willis. He'd be perfect for helming a *Rock & Roll McDonalds* flick. 'Cos you know Ben Stiller would make the definitive Hamburglar*. And Andy Richter could be the patrician Mayor McCheese, or even Grimace, for that matter.
*I'd be willing to substitute Heath Ledger as the Hamburglar if it meant he would drop out of the role of The Joker so the better choice of Christopher Eccleston could land the gig instead. Stiller could then be an ironic Ronald McDonald.

So wait, is this the movie that he's "fake" shooting in that damn american express commercial they play 3 times before every movie I've seen this summer? I mean the commercial was cute the FIRST time I saw it but after 15 times I'm over it.
