WES ANDERSON - ANDERSON'S COMEDY WILL LAUNCH FILM FESTIVAL

ANDERSON'S COMEDY WILL LAUNCH FILM FESTIVAL

Director WES ANDERSON will launch the 45th annual New York Film Festival with his new comedy The Darjeeling Limited later this year (07). Anderson will attend the festival on 28 September to showcase his film which stars Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody and Jason Schwartzman. New York Film Festival director Richard Pena says, "It represents a big step for Wes. I hate to use the word matured, but the humor and whimsy he uses is sharper, better focused and used more effectively." The Coen brothers' latest film, No Country for Old Men, will also be screened at the festival.
