Owen Wilson in The Darjeeling Limited: London Film Festivals closing gala

It’s been known for a while that this year’s 51st London Film Festival will open with David Cronenberg’s Eastern Promises. Now, the closing gala has been announced as well and it’s the much-anticipated Wes Anderson’s move, The Darjeeling Limited.

The movie stars Adrien Brody, Owen Wilson and Jason Schwartzman as three brothers who travel to India in an attempt to rediscover their family bond, only to find events veering off-course and themselves stranded in the middle of a desert with “eleven suitcases, a printer and a laminating machine”.

Sandra Hebron, Festival Artistic Director has said of the selection, ““Wes Anderson and his knockout cast are at their sparkling best in The Darjeeling Limited, and we’re very excited to be closing our Festival with this original and hugely enjoyable film from one of our favourite auteurs.”

The gala takes place on Thursday November 1st with Anderson (at least) attending. Other guests are yet to be announced but taking last years festival into account there will be more cast members and crew in attendance.

The full festival programme is released on September 13th so we’ll tell you more when we know it!
