In smart marketing move, Wes Anderson has posted "Hotel Chevalier," a 13 minute short film prequal to "The Darjeeling Limited," on iTunes for free. The short originally has been shown in theatres, before the actual film, but is now being spread around the internet to combat negative early reviews of the feature.
The entire short takes place in one hotel room with Jason Schwartman as Jack Whitman and Natalie Portman, credited simply as Jack's X-Girlfriend. The short features the break-up that leads Jack to meet his brothers Francis (Owen Wilson) and Peter (Adrien Brody) in India for the "Darjeeling' spiritual journey and adventure.
The song in the short is Peter Sarstedt's 1969 hit, "Where Do You Go My Lovely?" The song will also appear on the soundtrack and in the film "The Darjeeling Limited," which has its official premiere on the opening night of the New York Film Festival, this Friday, September 28th, at Lincoln Center.

Don’t know what to say. At first it looked good but now I’m very disappointed in this kind of information

Hey guys! You know what I think? I think that all written here is bullshit, real lie. They are making us believe it’s true, they are trying to express it like it was in reality. Don’t believe it if you are not insane! There’s nothing special in this site, they just express regular news with unusual words. They can make something shocking out of anything! Don’t trust them!
