The Grand Trailer for The Grand Budapest Hotel

          Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the best trailer yet released this year for potentially the best movie of next year. Wes Anderson's two and a half minute trailer for his newest movie The Grand Budapest Hotel presents itself in a way only a Wes Anderson movie could, with eye-popping colors against perfectly framed and beautiful backdrop. This trailer perfectly points out the direction and identity of the film and captures the goofy and lovable weirdness that is a Wes Anderson movie. The teen romance of Anderson's last release Moonrise Kingdom is also showcased but clearly not the focus of the film, which was the main problem with Moonrise Kingdom. And the CAST!!! The only cast that comes to mind that comes close to comparing with Hotel's is John Wells' August: Osage County. One by one each star makes his or her appearances in this trailer, each with their wonderfully under-played roles briefly shown, tantalizingly coming to a finish with the introduction of Tony Revolori, our companion in this journey and the younger version of F. Murray Abraham, who narrates the beginning of the trailer. It remains to be seen how Revolori embraces the onus of a main role, but there is no doubt it will be the cherry on top of this magnificent sundae of a movie.
