It will mark Anderson branching out (even more so than Tarantino did with Kill Bill) and giving us something that isn't the same movie in a different outfit. (This thing however, sounds the same.) I like his films a lot; but they all have the same stories (as well as cinematography and production design but that doesn't even need to be said). Here's a synopsis that works for every one of his movies: A dysfunctional family unit of sorts must overcome their eccentricities in order to come closer together while the protagonist of that unit goes through a sequence of hair brained schemes to get what he wants from life but ultimately realizes he is only hurting the ones he loves. Amirite? I’m still way more excited about The Fantastic Mr. Fox.

Look at that outfit. Whew! I know he’s influenced by the French New Wave, but has anyone actually told Wes Anderson that he’s not actually French? Look at that outfit. Whew!
