Wes Anderson Short ‘Hotel Chevalier’ to Premiere at Four Apple Stores on Sept. 25

I learned on Monday that Wes Anderson’s short film “Hotel Chevalier” (part one of “The Darjeeling Limited”) will exclusively premiere in four select Apple stores on Tuesday, Sept. 25.


Writer and director Anderson, actor Jason Schwartzman and actress Natalie Portman will appear in the New York Apple store in SoHo to introduce the film and host a short Q&A following the screening.

At 9 p.m. that evening, “The Darjeeling Limited” co-writer Roman Coppola will introduce the short at the Apple store on Michigan Avenue in Chicago.

The after-hours events will also take place at the Third Street Promenade Apple store in Santa Monica, Calif. and the Apple store in San Francisco’s Union Square.

Starring Schwartzman and Portman, “Hotel Chevalier” is a short film set in a hotel room in France. It is the brief coda to a doomed romance and the prologue to “The Darjeeling Limited”.
