ENTERTAINMENT NEWS Home Movies TV Music Quizzes Newsletter Fox Searchlight Picture 20 FACTS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT 'THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL' Updated 18 days ago | By Chris Morgan From the beginning, Wes Anderson has been an adored filmmaker, though it was more of a cultish adoration. Eventually, the director was going to have a true breakout film. That happened, perhaps unexpectedly, with The Grand Budapest Hotel. Like all of Anderson’s work, it feels like it couldn’t have come from anybody else. Here are 20 neatly appointed facts about the director’s most successful movie. 1 of 20 IT STARTED AS A JOINT PROJECT Fox Searchlight Pictures When Wes Anderson started working on what would become The Grand Budapest Hotel, he was collaborating with Hugo Guinness, an artist who has done illustrations for Anderson’s films and The New York Times. They put together a script, and a short film, about a character in modern England and France, told in fragments. At this point, the two couldn’t agree on where the project should go. Guinness left the project but still got a “story by” credit. 2 of 20 ANDERSON GOT INSPIRATION FROM A NOVELIST CONTEMPORARY TO THE ERA OF THE STORY Fox Searchlight Pictures The Grand Budapest Hotel primarily takes place in 1930s Europe, though in the fictional country of Zubrowka. A lot of Anderson’s inspiration for the movie came from the works of novelist Stefan Zweig, an Austrian who wrote the novels Beware of Pity and The World of Yesterday during World War II. 3 of 20 CASTING WAS PRETTY EASY FOR ANDERSON Fox Searchlight Pictures Bill Murray is notoriously flaky and difficult to get to show up to work on a film. He reportedly has a message service you call, and maybe he will call you back. And yet, he’s in basically every Wes Anderson movie, which speaks to the fact actors like to work with him. That made casting this film easy, as Anderson reportedly got his first choice for every role except one. 4 of 20 WHAT WAS THE ONE ROLE THAT NEEDED A SECOND CHOICE? Fox Searchlight Pictures Angela Lansbury was going to play the role of Madame D., the mysterious dowager who dies during the film. However, she ended up having to drop out so that she could keep commitments to star in a stage version of Driving Miss Daisy . Anderson was then able to turn to another previous collaborator, Tilda Swinton. 5 of 20 ONE ROLE CAME DOWN TO TWO BROTHERS Fox Searchlight Pictures Casting was smooth sailing for all the roles where Anderson knew what he wanted. For the key role of Zero, Anderson wanted an unknown teenage actor of Arabic descent. Casting went worldwide, but they were having trouble filling the role. They looked for actors who weren’t Arabic and found the brothers Tony and Mario Revolori, who had Guatemalan ancestry. Tony beat his older brother for a role. 6 of 20 SAOIRSE RONAN GOT TO USE HER OWN ACCENT Fox Searchlight Pictures If you’ve seen Lady Bird, you know Saoirse Ronan can do a respectable American accent. She’s Irish, though, and has an Irish brogue when she speaks in her natural voice. When figuring out the character of Agatha, Anderson had Ronan try German, French, and American accents. They decided to let her speak in her Irish accent. 7 of 20 SPEAKING OF 'LADY BIRD'... Fox Searchlight Pictures Ronan has a key role in the movie, but she’s not the only Lady Bird cast member to make an appearance. Lucas Hedges, who has a supporting role in Lady Bird as an early boyfriend of Ronan’s character (with a secret), has a small role in The Grand Budapest Hotel as a pump attendant. 8 of 20 NATURALLY, THE MOVIE SHOT IN EUROPE Fox Searchlight Pictures Anderson's movie has a vintage European vibe, and the man is dedicated to aesthetics. He decided to go to Europe to film, primarily in Germany. For the hotel's atrium, they used the Gorlitzer Warenhaus, a defunct department store. Additionally, for the Schloss Lutz estate, they used the exterior of the Hainewalde Manor. For the interior, they used Schloss Waldenburg. 9 of 20 THE PAINTING ISN’T A REAL ONE Fox Searchlight Pictures A Renaissance painting called “Boy with Apple” plays a key role in the action of the film. However, it’s not an actual painting. Instead, it was concocted for the film. It took painter Michael Taylor four months to create “Boy with Apple.” 10 of 20 IT’S ANDERSON’S BIGGEST SUCCESS Fox Searchlight Pictures In some circles, Anderson is an adored filmmaker, but he’s not exactly been a guy who churns out blockbusters. The Grand Budapest Hotel managed to break through a bit. It made $59.3 million in the United States and Canada and $172.9 million worldwide. That makes it Anderson’s highest-grossing movie on both fronts. 11 of 20 IT WAS UNEXPECTEDLY BIG IN ONE COUNTRY Fox Searchlight Pictures Relatively speaking, there is one market that stands out among the rest. That would be Germany, where The Grand Budapest Hotel was a big hit. It made over $8 million there and was the highest-grossing country for the movie outside of the United States. That likely owes to the fact it was filmed there. 12 of 20 THE MOVIE WAS ALSO AN UNEXPECTED OSCARS DARLING Fox Searchlight Pictures The Academy Awards hasn’t shown Anderson’s movies a lot of love, and not much was expected from The Grand Budapest Hotel on that front. After all, it was released in March, which is not exactly Oscar season. Then, the movie ended with nine Oscar nominations, tied with Birdman for most of any film that year. 13 of 20 IT WON A FEW OSCARS AS WELL Fox Searchlight Pictures Despite the impressive ensemble, The Grand Budapest Hotel did not get any acting nominations. However, it was up for some big awards, like Best Director and Best Picture. It didn’t win either of those, but it did win four Oscars. They were for Best Costume Design, Best Makeup and Hairstyling, Best Original Score, and Best Production Design. 14 of 20 THAT SCORE WAS ACTUALLY QUITE WELL RECEIVED Fox Searchlight Pictures Alexandre Desplat was the most venerated member of the film’s crew. His score won many awards, including the aforementioned Oscar. On top of that, Desplat also won the Grammy for Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media. He later won his second Oscar for The Shape of Water. 15 of 20 RALPH FIENNES GOT IN ON THE METICULOUSNESS Fox Searchlight Pictures Anderson is a meticulous director with an eye for detail and wasn’t the only one on the set. Ralph Fiennes was given a prop notebook for his character Monsieur Gustave. However, they had gotten him a notebook without lines in it. Fiennes argued that Gustave was too organized and meticulous for that and asked for a lined notebook. He got it, adding to the attentiveness inherent to an Anderson movie. 16 of 20 SWINTON SPENT A LOT OF TIME IN THE MAKEUP CHAIR Fox Searchlight Pictures Wes Anderson films don’t tend to have huge budgets, and this movie was made for $25 million. He’s used to trying to make a buck stretch. Once Swinton was cast in the film instead of Lansbury, some changes were necessary. Anderson decided to get the best makeup people he could, and they spent five hours a day transforming Swinton. Hey, they won an Oscar, so it all panned out. 17 of 20 HARVEY KEITEL’S LOOK HAD A VINTAGE INSPIRATION Fox Searchlight Pictures Anderson is a fan of callbacks to earlier films and homages to classic movies that he is a fan of. Sometimes, references can be pretty obscure. For example, Harvey Keitel’s character, the prisoner Ludwig, has tattoos taken from a 1934 French movie called L’Atalante. 18 of 20 THERE IS DEBATE ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT GEORGE CLOONEY HAS A CAMEO Fox Searchlight Pictures Clooney voiced the titular Mr. Fox in Wes Anderson’s stop-motion animation movie Fantastic Mr. Fox. Is he also in The Grand Budapest Hotel? Some argue that you can see him in the shootout scene wearing a white jacket. However, this has not been confirmed by anybody, including Anderson or Clooney. It might just be a guy who looks like him, but you can keep an eye out for Clooney yourself next time you watch. 19 of 20 ONE CHARACTER IS NAMED TO HONOR TWO FILMMAKERS Fox Searchlight Pictures Anderson has named characters after people in the past. For example, the character of Wolodarsky in The Life Aquatic is named after Wallace Woldarsky, who plays a small role in The Grand Budapest Hotel. Meanwhile, Jeff Goldblum’s character Vilmos Kovacs has a name that is a mashup of two Hungarian cinematographers, Vilmos Zsigmond and Laszlo Kovacs. 20 of 20 CONCIERGES ONLY BREAK ETIQUETTE IN SECRET Fox Searchlight Pictures Monsieur Gustave and all of his fellow concierges are quite formal. They always call people, including other concierges, by the title “Monsieur.” This only stops being the case during the section of the movie where the Secret Society of the Crossed Keys leaps into action. Then, concierges are finally addressed by their first names.

While Dallas' fanfare surrounded Odell Beckam Jr. at a Mavericks game on Monday, it forgot it already has a No.1 wideout, CeeDee Lamb. Through 12 games, Lamb, 23, caught 69 receptions for 928 receiving yards, ninth in the league. If he continues to produce, he will surpass his career high. The Cowboys (9-3) average 27.8 points per game, fourth in the league. They don't desperately need another offensive weapon, especially one recovering from an ACL tear that may keep them sidelined until January, per ESPN's Ed Werder. Although Beckham Jr., 30, has made three Pro Bowls in nine seasons, injuries derailed a significant portion of his career. The last time he played an entire season was in 2019. Also, his production dipped over the past two years, failing to hit the 50 receptions mark in 2020 and 2021. Beckham Jr. doesn't want a cheap, short-term deal either. He wants a deal that devours cap space. Per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, he wants a similar deal to Cowboys WR Michael Gallup. Gallup has a five-year contract with $27 million guaranteed. The Cowboys need to save cap space because Lamb's rookie deal expires after 2024, and they might consider exercising his fifth-year option. Beckham Jr. was a great player, but his value declined this year. Lamb's value skyrocketed, so investing in him is the better choice for Dallas' future.

"Hey look, man, I’ve already kind of sprinkled some words out there," Owens explained during an appearance on 95.7 The Game's "The Morning Roast," according to Logan Mullen of Audacy. "Like yo, if you guys need a receiver, I’m good. Listen here: third down, red zone, trust me. I’m a very valuable asset. "I’ve been training … I’m already ready, I’ve already reached out to Jed York, I’ve already told him, 'Yo, if you need somebody, I’m definitely a viable (option).'" Owens originally featured for the 49ers from 1996-2003, but last played in the NFL during the 2010 campaign. The all-time great who turned 49 years old on Wednesday has repeatedly teased comebacks to the league but more recently was in headlines due to an incident that involved him striking a man outside of a CVS. Owens was speaking days after the 49ers lost starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo through at least a portion of the playoffs to a broken foot Garoppolo suffered this past Sunday. Rookie Brock Purdy, who completed 25-of-37 passes for 210 yards with two touchdowns and one interception against the Miami Dolphins in relief of Garoppolo, is now atop San Francisco's depth chart. "This guy definitely didn't seem like he was 'Mr. Irrelevant' in the draft," Owens said about Purdy's performance, per David Bonilla of 49ers WebZone. Teammates Fred Warner and Dre Greenlaw, along with club legend and Hall of Famer Joe Montana, have backed Purdy as good enough to lead the 49ers to Super Bowl LVII. 8-4 San Francisco will need to be fully recovered from the shock of the Garoppolo setback by the time the 6-6 Tampa Bay Buccaneers enter Levi's Stadium this Sunday.

The films of the 1980s are like that. For example: "Three Men and a Baby" was the top grossing movie of 1987. How? It was 1987 and people were wearing seventeen Swatches on their right arm, that's how. That said, the 1980s produced plenty of enduring classics of its own. What else has held up well over the years?

And while some of the best players on the planet are still representing their countries this upcoming weekend, there is one who Vegas is projecting to top the rest. France's Kylian Mbappe, who already leads all World Cup players with five goals scored, is the heavy favorite to score the most goals by the end of the tournament -- even if France doesn't win it all. DraftKings has Mbappe as the top goal-scorer listed at -175 odds, with Brazil's Richarlison coming in a not-so-close second at +650 odds. DK also has the combo of Brazil winning the World Cup but Mbappe still being the top scorer listed as a +300 favorite, with France winning and Mbappe being the top scorer listed at +450 odds. Other sportsbooks differ on who else will find the back of the net in the late stages of the World Cup, with Neymar, Lionel Messi and Vinicius Junior all still playing. But the general consensus is that Mbappe will outscore them all. Mbappe and Les Bleus face England on Saturday, while Brazil plays Croatia on Friday.
