Fox Searchlight:: Searchlight Home to Wes Anderson's 'The Darjeeling Limited'
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Fox Searchlight is getting into the Wes Anderson business.

The Fox specialty division will be the home of the writer-director's latest project, "The Darjeeling Limited," which will star Anderson vets Owen Wilson and Jason Schwartzman along with Adrien Brody. Principal photography is set to begin at year's end in India.

The three will play brothers on a spiritual journey through India after the death of their father.

"Darjeeling" is based on a screenplay from Anderson, Schwartzman and Roman Coppola.

Searchlight specializes in offbeat, quirky fare, which happens to be Anderson's trademark. His three previous films, "The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou," "The Royal Tenenbaums" and "Rushmore," were made for Touchstone Pictures under the guidance of Nina Jacobson, former president of the Walt Disney Motion Picture Group.

Wilson ("You, Me and Dupree") has appeared in all of Anderson's films, going back to his debut, "Bottle Rocket." He also co-wrote "Rocket," "Rushmore" and "Tenenbaums."

Schwartzman starred in "Rushmore." He will next be seen in Sofia Coppola's "Marie Antoinette."

Brody, the newcomer to the Anderson fold, will next be seen in the period mystery "Hollywoodland."
