Oh boy, it’s yet another article that makes Wes Anderson sound like a prick! Case in point:

That choice was made all but inevitable, however, by the Oscar nominee’s unorthodox decision to hole up in Paris for most of the shoot’s one-year duration while principal photography commenced across the English Channel at London’s venerable Three Mills Studios. He wasn’t working on another project, and nothing Paris-centric demanded he be there; Anderson simply “didn’t want to be at Three Mills Studios for two years.”

Hey Wes, I’m directing a shoot for G4 today. While I guess in theory it would have been nice to stay in bed and direct it via email from my Paris flat, part of directing is actually being there to work with people hands-on. Ya jerk.
