If you’re a Wes Anderson fan, you know that there’s a lot going on in his films — both on and offscreen.
Michael Germana / courtesy Everett CollectionWhile they all had roles in Bottle Rocket and The Royal Tenenbaums, Owen stuck to co-writing rather than acting in Rushmore.
12. In Rushmore, Rosemary is romantically linked to two of the Wilson brothers.
Buena Vista PicturesOwen Wilson appeared in photos as Rosemary’s late husband, and Luke Wilson plays her boyfriend, Peter.
13. According to the Rushmore DVD commentary, Wes Anderson originally envisioned someone like Noah Taylor — “a young Mick Jagger [with] that slightly uncooked look” — for the role of Max Fischer.
Buena Vista PicturesWhile the role ultimately went to Jason Schwartzman, Taylor ended up working with Anderson in The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou.
14. Jason Schwartzman auditioned for Rushmore wearing a prep school blazer emblazoned with a DIY Rushmore Academy patch.
Buena Vista PicturesShe was an uncredited extra, appearing as a Grover Cleveland High School student.
17. Though not nominated, Rushmore was included in the 1999 MTV Movie Awards.
Buena Vista PicturesHis mom also went on to work in archaeology as a porcee.
20. The cigarettes Margot smokes in The Royal Tenenbaums are Sweet Aftons, an Irish brand that was discontinued about 10 years ago.

If you’re a Peaky Blinders fan, you may have also noticed Thomas Shelby smoking them.
21. Cate Blanchett was really pregnant during The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou.
Buena Vista Pictures / courtesy Everett CollectionShe wore a fake belly in some of her scenes, but in other scenes we see her actual pregnant belly.
22. Henry Selick, director of The Nightmare Before Christmas, animated the stop-motion sea creatures in The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou.
23. David Bowie was a fan of the covers Seu Jorge did of his music for The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou.

You can also see Max reading one of Cousteau’s books, Diving for Sunken Treasure, in Rushmore.
25. Natalie Portman went to India to spend 30 minutes shooting what ended up being a 10-second cameo in The Darjeeling Limited.
Focus FeaturesShe told Rotten Tomatoes her favorite of his movies was The Darjeeling Limited.
27. She did her own hair and makeup to play Suzy.
28. None of the books Suzy can be seen reading in the movie are real.
Focus FeaturesHayward also told Rotten Tomatoes: “The covers were all designed by different artists and they’re very talented; very amazing the way they did that. But no, those were fake books. I wanted to read them.”
29. Hayward and Jared Gilman, who played Sam in Moonrise Kingdom, got to keep souvenirs from the set.
Focus Features / courtesy Everett CollectionHe brought home Sam’s backpack, and she brought home Suzy’s kitten.
30. In Fantastic Mr. Fox, the hair used for the human puppets is actual human hair.
20th Century Fox31. The dialogue for Fantastic Mr. Fox was recorded outdoors.
20th Century Fox / courtesy Everett CollectionBack in 2009, Anderson told Vanity Fair: “We went to a farm in Connecticut, which was a really fun way to do it… For scenes that were outside, we did them outside, by a river, or in the woods. We went to different places that corresponded with what’s in the scene.”
32. The hotel staff in The Grand Budapest Hotel is played mostly by actual local hospitality workers.
The owner of the Hotel Börse in Görlitz, where much of the filming took place (and where the cast and crew stayed), appeared as an extra working at the front desk.
33. The fur used for the puppets in Isle of Dogs was made from alpaca and merino wool.
Fox Searchlight Pictures / courtesy Everett Collection34. At an hour and 41 minutes, Isle of Dogs is one of the longest stop-motion films of all time.
It also took the longest to make — while the rest of Anderson’s films came out within 2–3 years of each other, Isle of Dogs wasn’t released until a full four years after his previous film.
35. The role of Zeffirelli in The French Dispatch was written specifically for Timothée Chalamet.
Searchlight PicturesWes Anderson told GQ, “I never had the inconvenience of ever thinking of anybody else for this role even for a second.”
36. The French Dispatch is Timothée Chalamet and Saoirse Ronan’s third film together in less than four years.
Searchlight Pictures
They previously starred opposite each other in 2017’s Lady Bird and 2019’s Little Women.
37. Wes Anderson alums Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton, Adrien Brody, Jason Schwartzman, Bryan Cranston, Jeff Goldblum, and Jeffrey Wright will all appear in his next film, Asteroid City.
