The Grand Budapest Hotel

LEGO recreations of trailers and scenes from films are often pretty fun to watch, though they’re not always of the best quality, as fans rush to complete and reveal their projects before someone else beats them to the punch.

Wes Anderson has finally done it. He's gone and created his own country. Zubrowka, the fictional town at the heart of 'The Grand Budapest Hotel,' is positioned on the farthest Eastern edge of Europe's great empire. It is a melange of stylistic flourishes and decorative signifiers from a make believe 20th Century - a memory of a memory, a fastidious, whimsical take on real horrors - a storybook sam

As we patiently wait for Wes Anderson's latest film to hit theaters, we've finally gotten our first official look at 'The Grand Budapest Hotel' in the form of a beautiful poster, featuring the sort of precious hotel one might expect to see in an Anderson film. And while there are a ton of familiar names on the poster, there are no famous faces to sell this thing. Who needs them when you've got a p
