Wes Anderson premieres new short on iTunes this week

by Mike Schramm Sep 24th 2007 at 5:00PM

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that before director and filmmaker Wes Anderson releases his new movie The Darjeeling Limited (it's typical Anderson, which isn't a bad thing if you liked The Life Aquatic or The Royal Tenenbaums as much as I did), he'll release a short film called Hotel Chevalier later this week at Apple stores across the country and for free on iTunes.

It sounds pretty awesome-- the new short has a few connections to the upcoming movie, but is a film on its own more than just a teaser or trailer. I'm in Chicago, just a mile or so from the Michigan Ave. Store, so I may head down there on Tuesday night to check it out.

And there's one more interesting note in the article-- Anderson says he shot the movie in 2 1/2 days and edited it on his own computer in a week. What kind of computer was that, Mr. Anderson? Could Apple be able to pick up someone to finally defend iMovie?

When is Apple going to stop treating the rest of the world like second-class citizens?

Seriously, someone post an iTunes link (right click on iTunes page and click "Copy iTunes Store URL") as soon as you find it!

Not to cause a nerd stampede, but I thought I'd read that this short featured a brief bit of nudity from Natalie Portman...?
