Wes Anderson’s Lord of the Rings


You’re all well aware that I’m a huge Wes Anderson fanboy. I have an entire row of shelves dedicated to his films, starting with his 90’s classic Bottle Rocket and ending with what I consider to be the best stop-motion animation film ever…The Fantastic Mr. Fox. Well, as if my strange, unnatural love for the director couldn’t get any deeper, behold… Wes Anderson’s Lord of The Rings:

Admittedly, this is just a trailer for The Fellowship of the Rings set alongside a few songs that Anderson tends to favor in his films. But just imagine if the LOTR cast was exchanged with some of the more familiar faces from films like The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou or The Royal Tenenbaums.

Bill Murray would play a brilliant Gandalf and Jason Schwartzman would be a shamefully innocent Frodo. Throw in a few Wilson brothers and Anjelica Houston, and voila! Wes Anderson’s Lord of the Rings would be complete! I’d pay to see this. What about you?
