One of my all-time favorite movies is the 2001 film The Royal Tenenbaums directed by Wes Anderson. With unique sense of story telling and directoral stylings, Anderson's films ("The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou" and "The Darjeeling Limited" for example) are easy to spot. The bizarre and yet familiar characters, dramatic pausings, planar camera movements, and unexpected but mundane plot twists factor in to many of his films.
So, what if Anderson directed something more high-budget and mainstream? What if he was put behind the wheel of a blockbuster franchise like Spiderman? How would his creative genius work in the world of comic book action movies?
Well, wonder no more. Check out the YouTube short entitled Wes Anderson's Spiderman. Taking a lot a inspiration from "Tenebaums," the parody nails both Anderson's signature melodrama as well as impressions of the aforementioned movie's characters including Gwyneth Paltrow and Owen Wilson. If only this were to be a reality; I might just be the first in line on opening night!
