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.

CEEDEE LAMB ELIMINATES PRESSURE ON COWBOYS TO SIGN ODELL BECKHAM JR.

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.

TERRELL OWENS SAYS HE REACHED OUT TO 49ERS ABOUT COMEBACK

Hall of Famer Terrell Owens says he has contacted San Francisco 49ers CEO Jed
York about lending a helping hand this holiday season. "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.

BELOVED MOVIES FROM THE 1980S THAT STILL HOLD UP TODAY

It's only natural to look back fondly on the movies of your youth, but as the
years wear on, what once felt fun and of-the-moment might age like
unrefrigerated meat. 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? Let's fire up the way-back machine and take a look. (Movies
that belong to currently active franchises have been omitted.)

FRANCE'S KYLIAN MBAPPE HEAVY FAVORITE TO BE WORLD CUP'S LEADING…

Sportsbooks are busy as the 2022 FIFA World Cup gets down to just eight teams.
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.
