For those of you who actually care about the movie, and not a nude Natalie Portman:

Movie director Wes Anderson, known for such offbeat films as “Rushmore” and “The Royal Tenenbaums,” is adding an especially unconventional touch to his latest project.

Before “The Darjeeling Limited” is released in New York on Saturday, Mr. Anderson is urging audiences to see another of his films — this one a related 13-minute short called “Hotel Chevalier” that will be released on the Internet this week.

“Hotel Chevalier” represents a novel approach to generating buzz for “Darjeeling,” a quirky film from Fox Searchlight that doesn’t have a powerhouse marketing budget. The main film is about three brothers — played by Owen Wilson, Jason Schwartzman and Adrien Brody — who take a comic “spiritual journey” through India after their father’s death. Like Mr. Anderson’s past films, the new picture isn’t easily summarized or boiled down to an easy selling point.

“Hotel Chevalier,” meanwhile, is a prequel of sorts that was made a year before “Darjeeling” even began filming. It takes place entirely in the Paris hotel room of Mr. Schwartzman’s character and includes information that later becomes relevant in “Darjeeling.” The short film’s premiere will be Tuesday night at Apple stores in New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Santa Monica, Calif. Then, starting Wednesday, it will be available as a free download on Apple Inc.’s iTunes Web site. Read more…
