Wes Anderson’s Hotel Chevalier Availible Free On iTunes Next Month

Wes Anderson’s 17-minute short film Hotel Chevalier has been talked about a lot on the web recently. The film apparently features a nude Natalie Portman and Jason Schwartzman (not nude, unfortunately) and acts as a semi-prequel to The Darjeeling Limited.

The short is being shown at festival screenings of Darjeeling but won’t be attached to the actual theatrical release. According to recent reports, the film will premiere to the public at four Apple Stores (Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and San Francisco) on October 2nd 2007.

The day after it’s Apple premiere, the short will be available for free on the Apple iTunes movie store and will also be available on the DVD release of The Darjeeling Limited.

The LA Times is reporting that Anderson wants to add the Hotel Chevalier short to the theatrical showings of his film The Darjeeling Limited after the first few weeks.

‘We were unsure how this needed to be presented,’ he said. ‘We felt they should be connected and searched for how to do that. In the end, I liked the idea that one person could see it in one way, and another could see it in totally another way.’”
