Who Makes Jason Schwartzman Geek Out

Jason Schwartzman talked with Conan last night about making Wes Anderson’s Grand Budapest Hotel.    Schwartzman explained that when you make a Wes Anderson movie, you all live together in a small area, which is pretty incredible considering those people are; Ray Fiennes, Jeff Goldblum, Jude Law, Bill Murray and Tilda Swinton.  Weird things happen in that environment, like eating soup with Jeff Goldblum…for eight hours.

Jason told Conan that he’s known Bill Murray since he was 17 years old shooting the brilliant movie Rushmore, and talked about being so starstruck meeting “Dr. Peter Venkman” for the first time.  Schwartzman was a huge Ghostbusters fan, but the movie that he quotes more than any other movie is Three Amigos.  He talked about the craziness of meeting Steve Martin for the first time, and trying not to “geek out” when he was trying to get a part in Martin’s movie “Shop Girl.”  On his way to meet with Martin he was so nervous,  he had to tell himself, “if he doesn’t like you…it’s not your fault, it’s his fault.  It’s not you it’s him.”
