With a cast including Ralph Fiennes, Jude Law, Bill Murray, Jason Schwartzman, Saoirse Ronan, F. Murray Abraham, Jeff Goldblum, Willem Dafoe, Adrien Brody, Owen Wilson, Edward Norton, Harvey Keitel, Léa Seydoux, and Mathieu Amalric, our first trailer for Wes Anderson‘s The Grand Budapest Hotel only gave us a glimpse of the epic ensemble. Fox Searchlight is now here to give us a better sense of who’ll be meeting in the Europe-set film, with the debut of a new preview and poster.
Spanning the first half of the 20th century, the film follows Fiennes’ character as a legendary concierge who develops a relationship with a young employee as they face wars, on both a large and small scale. Anderson’s specific story involves the theft and recovery of a priceless Renaissance painting, the battle for an enormous family fortune, and the slow (then sudden) upheavals that transformed Europe. Check out the new trailer and poster below, along with a list of films that will join The Grand Budapest Hotel at Berlin.
