Wes Anderson‘s THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL looks like another magnificent comedy in the vein of THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS and THE LIFE AQUATIC. After the great MOONRISE KINGDOM and THE DARJEELING LIMITED, smaller films in comparison, Anderson looks like he is going all out for THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL with a cast that includes well over twenty well-known actors. If you couldn’t tell from the first trailer, check out the character poster below that gives each person their own room at the hotel.
The poster comes in advance of the brand new trailer that hits the Internet tomorrow that is said to focus on the various curious people populating the titular hotel. Here we get a look at not just Ralph Fiennes, Bill Murray, Jason Schwartzman, Owen Wilson, Tilda Swinton, Adrien Brody, Jeff Goldblum, Willem Dafoe, and Edward Norton, but also new Wes Anderson performers including Saoirse Ronan, Harvey Keitel, F, Murray Abraham, Jude Law, Mathieu Amalric, Lea Seydoux, Tom Wilkinson, and newcomer Tony Revelori.
In 1920s Europe, a famed hotel concierge by the name of Gustave H. is bequeathed a painting called Boy With Apple after his one night stand, Madame D, is killed.

Zero Moustafa, the lobby boy, and his love interest, Agatha, help Gustave hide Boy with Apple from Dmitri and the authorities. Also, Bill Murray‘s character, M. Ivan, is the manager of Grand Budapest’s rival hotel, Excelsior Palace.
