Wes Anderson planning a box set of all his movie soundtracks; his new film 'The Grand Budapest Hotel' opens today

Wes Anderson‘s new film, The Grand Budapest Hotel, opens today in limited release — in NYC it’s at the Regal Union Square Stadium 14 and the Lincoln Square 13. With eight films under his belt, Anderson’s whimsical style is as distinctive as anyone in the industry. One of his signatures is his use of music, and that goes from the harpsichord-laden scores to the soundtracks filled with impeccably curated pop songs.

While The Grand Budapest Hotel is his first not to use modern pop (frequent collaborator Alexandre Desplat did the score which can be streamed at Rdio), his other films are jam-packed with it. Indiewire reports that ABCKO will release a box set with the soundtracks to all eight of his film. This could include songs featured in movies that didn’t make the cut for their official soundtracks. Details, beyond that’s its happening, haven’t surfaced yet, but we’re going to assume the packaging will be exquisite.
