Fox Searchlight has released the first clip from Wes Anderson's "The Grand Budapest Hotel."
The clip features Ralph Fiennes as the Grand Budapest Hotel concierge Gustav H, who finds a trusted partner in Zero Moustafa (Tony Revolori) the hotel's lobby boy.
The film's story involves a theft and recovery of a priceless Renaissance painting, the battle for an enormous family fortune and the slow and then sudden upheavals that transformed Europe during the first half of the 20th century.
The film is currently set to premiere at the Berlin Film Festival in February and it also stars Edward Norton, Saoirse Ronan, Adrien Brody, Bill Murray, Jude Law, Tilda Swinton, Harvey Keitel, Jason Schwartzman, Willem Dafoe, Jeff Goldblum, Tom Wilkinson, Mathieu Amalric, F. Murray Abraham, and Bob Balaban.
The movie is the latest work by Anderson who last helmed "Moonrise Kingdom." That film was critically acclaimed and hailed by many as his best work to date. The movie went on to get nominated for the Academy Award for Best Screenplay and also won the prestigious Gotham Award. Anderson has also directed "The Royal Tenenbaums," "Fantastic Mr. Fox," "Rushmore," "The Darjeeling Limited," and "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou."
The movie will be Fox Searchlight's first release of 2014 after a banner year that included "12 Years a Slave," "The Way Way Back" and "Enough Said." The company has also been in charge of releasing "Slumdog Millionaire," "The Sessions," "Shame," "the Descendants," and "Black Swan."
"The Grand Budapest Hotel" will open in theaters on March 7.
