HOTEL CHEVALIER to debut this week on iTunes

Wes Anderson's much hyped short film will hit the net this week promising some naked Portman action.

Wes Anderson€™s THE DARJEELING LIMITED will soon be upon us. Before then we€™ll get a little taster in the form of HOTEL CHEVALIER, a short film that acts as a prequel to the movie and features Jason Schwartzman (playing his DARJEELING character) and Natalie Portman. The film was shot in 2005 when Anderson€™s DARJEELING script was still a work in progress, so it€™ll be interesting to see how it plays with the finished film. From tomorrow HOTEL CHEVALIER will be playing at Apple stores in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Chicago. Then on Wednesday the short will be made available to download for free via iTunes. Hopefully it€™ll be available to us UK iTuners. We€™ve been terribly treated with movie and TV availability - though I€™ve noticed there€™s finally a few shows like SOUTH PARK and LOST at the UK store. Nevertheless, HOTEL CHEVALIER will likely be all over the net by the end of the week. The reason? More than a third of its running time is dedicated to a steamy love scene between Jason Schwartzman and Natalie Portman. source €“ the wall street journal
