LOS ANGELES (AP) --
Wes Anderson has directed a short holiday film starring Oscar-winner Adrien Brody for discount clothing retailer H&M.
The short titled "Come Together" features Brody as a train conductor announcing a blizzard-induced delay that would cause passengers to miss part of the holiday. Brody's character saves the day by throwing a party for a young boy on board.
The spot released Monday features John Lennon and Yoko Ono's holiday classic "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)."
Brody has worked with the offbeat director in the past. Brody had starring roles in Anderson's "The Darjeeling Limited" and "The Grand Budapest Hotel."
Brody won Best Actor in 2003 for "The Pianist."

“To be honest, joining Picture North felt like a natural alignment more than a decision,” said Oh. “I tend to put a lot of weight into the details and the relationships behind the work. And since this is something I plan on doing for the rest of my life, that foundation was extremely important to me. There’s a level of care, accountability, and precision at Picture North that I really value. It feels like the kind of partnership where we can build something meaningful and hold each other to a higher standard with every step forward we take together. I’m excited where this path leads both of us.”
Martin Rodahl, executive producer and founder of Picture North, added, “Kevin is a multiple threat signing! He’s obviously a very accomplished motion director, but his still photography portfolio makes him even more competitive. His background in advertising... Read More
