Wes Anderson’s short film, Hotel Chevalier, a prequel to his latest movie, The Darjeeling Limited, is now available on iTunes for viewing. Originally, it was slated to be included with The Darjeeling Limited release in theaters, but at the last minute Fox Searchlight decided to remove it. Anderson came to the conclusion that offering it on iTunes would make it available to the largest audience possible.
Hotel Chevalier is about ten minutes long, and stars Natalie Portman and Jason Schwartzman, who Anderson say even starred in the short for free. By the time they finished with Hotel Chevalier, Anderson, Schwartzman, and Roman Coppola had finished up the script for the short film’s sequel, The Darjeeling Limited.
Portman has just a small cameo appearance in The Darjeeling Limited, and insisted that Fox not use her image in advertising for the feature film, however, she is reported to be pleased with the short and happily made an appearance in SoHo last night for the Apple store mini-premiere. Also joining Portman at the Apple store premiere were Anderson and Schwartzman, who also participated in a question and answer session after the screening.
