PIERCE HAMMERSTEIN.
Whoa.
Wes Anderson,known for having a "does everything himself" kind of style is apparently about to kick it fast and loose as screenwriter for someone elses movie. Though its actually been said he may end up directing it, there are a few things I'm already leary of.
1. Wes' script may not play as well without his aestethic bleeding into the whole production. His scripts are excellent,but theres a distinct visual narrative that has always fleshed out the minimalism of his dialogue.
2.Even if he chooses to direct, he;s still in a strange place. He's made a style out of cobbling various french and american film influences together and creates something completly unique in spite of it(note tongue in cheek Truffaut shoutout for Amex.) But as far coming into direct contact with remake territory seems odd.
3.Brian Grazer. Yeah, the guy who brought the world Austin Powers, Love Guru and that abonination of a Cat in the Hat film.He also looks like the free money guys brother...
But no matter what happens he's staying attached as producer.
No matter what happens it sounds like a major sea-change for Anderson. It might even signal some sort of style change, or at least "mode" change. Woody Allens been doing it for decades now and I'm not sure if that's an indicator of a good or bad thing ultamatly.
