Wes Anderson, director of films such as classics The Royal Tenenbaums, Rushmore, and Bottle Rocket, is coming to the Music Box Theatre on Saturday, March 1, for an in-person Q&A following an advance screening of his upcoming film, The Grand Budapest Hotel.
Here's a trailer:
RSVPs for the free screening open up at noon on Tuesday, Feb. 25. Budapest Hotel opens wide in Chicago on March 14, so don't sweat it too hard if you can't make it. But no doubt that this will be a cinematic night to remember indeed.
If Anderson films want to catch up with his previous full-length feature films, the Music Box is also running a retrospective they're calling "The Wes Anderson Anthology," which will include all of his films, in addition to shorts and commercials.
