In our newest "Rough Cut" interview, "Darjeeling Limited" helmer Wes Anderson wonders what it would be like if some of his fictional characters from different flicks met up, and together with Jason Schwartzman, ponder if Rushmore Academy's Max Rischer will make a return. See the clip below, watch the entire interview here, or read the Q&A.

Bill MurrayIt will be five films in a row for the collaboration that is Wes Anderson and Bill Murray. I talked to Anderson about his upcoming animated flick based on the Roald Dahl story and he confirmed his voice cast. "George Clooney is going to be Mr. Fox. Bill Murray has a part. Jason [Schwartzman] is doing a voice. That's our team," he told me.

But don't line up at the multiplex just yet...this one is still a long ways off. "It will take a couple years to do the animating," said "The Darjeeling Limited" helmer, adding that they are about to record the voices. As for the animation, "It's stop-motion. It's like 'Nightmare Before Christmas' or those Christmas specials. These [characters] have fur, so it's not like claymation." Read more...

Shooting in any city is a challenge, but even more so when you're looking to send a camera down a narrow alleyway in India. Director Wes Anderson plunged forward though, producing this gem of a behind-the-scenes video to give audiences a sense of what goes into the making of his upcoming quirky comedy, "The Darjeeling Limited."

Alright, the clip below may seem a little random. It involves a snake but more importantly it involves Wes Anderson's "The Darjeeling Limited." And for that reason alone I'm interested.

Here's how Wes himself wanted to introduce the exclusive clip you'll watch below:

"We originally wanted to cast a little, red, spectacularly posoinous species called a Krait for the snake in our story, but unfortunately the only one we had actually seen (which had been captured by the manager of a tea estate in Darjeeling) had just been re-released into the wild. The most readily available snakes in Rajasthan seem to be cobras."

Well, now we have the trailer, which you can view below.

We're anxiously looking forward to Wes Anderson's "The Darjeeling Limited," so we're quite thrilled to be teaming up with Fox Searchlight to roll out a series of exclusive behind-the-scenes featurettes from the film, which stars Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody and Jason Schwartzman as three brothers who travel to India. We're also psyched that Anderson himself wrote a description for us of the featurette, which follows below...

"We started our shoot in the middle of one of the busiest and least accessible (by anything other than bicycle or auto-rickshaw) parts of Jodphur. Luckily, our key grip Sanjay Sami introduced us to his "rickshaw dolly" which became our favorite piece of equipment."
