While You Were Sleeping, The Grand Budapest Hotel Got Its First Full Trailer

Meet The Cast Of Characters In Grand Budapest Hotel

The new trailer for Wes Anderson’s upcoming film landed on GrandBudapestHotel.com at 2am this morning, a day after the new poster dropped.

Can’t wait until April 10. Can’t wait until Tilda Swinton becomes that old.

Speaking of which, here’s the first official trailer for How To Train Your Dragon 2 — four years after the first film came out.

The trailer was put together by Fox, and features a pretty big reveal about Cate Blanchett’s character, which DreamWorks Animation was adamantly against including in the final cut. If you want to save the surprise, stop watching at one minute, and start again at 1:48.

The film comes out midway through next year.

Pussy Riot To Be Freed Under New Russian Amnesty Bill

Russian President Vladamir Putin has confirmed the early release of Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alyokhina, the two members of feminist punk protest group Pussy Riot who are still serving a two-year sentence in prison camps, after being charged last year with “hooliganism motivated by religious hatred“.

Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alyokhina qualify for release under Russia’s new amnesty law, which pardons women with young children who have not committed a violent crime. The amnesty is being seen as an exercise in political PR to sooth Russia’s tarnished human rights record, ahead of the Winter Olympics in February.

“I was not sorry that they [the Pussy Riot members] ended up behind bars,” Putin said. “I was sorry that they were engaged in such disgraceful behaviour, which in my view was degrading to the dignity of women. They went beyond all boundaries.”

According to USA Today, it could take weeks or months for the amnesty to be carried out.

The Cast Of Anchorman 2 Attacked Jon Stewart, And Gave All His Stuff To The Audience

I know we already kinda had a whinge about how much promotion has gone into Anchorman 2, and I know that that whinge has already been undercut by how much we keep reporting on it.

But for all the cringe-y marketing tie-ins — Ben & Jerrys, Chrysler, Jockey, et al. — there have been some truly brilliant moments in the lead-up to the film’s release. And this unscripted appearance on The Daily Show is one of the best.

And that’s what happens when you ignore 3/4s of a cast.

Anchorman 2 is out now.
