Well, folks, it’s finally here! The first trailer for Wes Anderson’s highly anticipated eighth feature, The Grand Budapest Hotel, arrived online this morning, and as if we expected anything else, it’s amazing.

With a cast stacked almost beyond belief and some of the swankiest costume design in any of his works, The Grand Budapest Hotel is sure to be a highlight of 2014’s cinema offerings and hopefully one of Anderson’s best features to date. The film stars Ralph Fiennes, Saoirse Ronan, F. Murray Abraham, Adrien Brody, Willem Dafoe, Jeff Goldblum, Jude Law, Bill Murray, Edward Norton, Tilda Swinton, Jason Schwartzman, Harvey Keitel, Owen Wilson — do I need to go on? Sure, a list of this caliber is easily expected at this point in Anderson’s career as he’s always maintained stellar casts, but has he ever pulled together one quite this impressive? Beyond that, the script itself is brilliantly unique which may just land Anderson his third Academy Award nomination for best original screenplay (and hopefully a win). Do we need to talk about his signature set designs and pleasing color palette? Well, his newest may just have what it takes to be in the running for his best yet.

The Grand Budapest Hotel is set to hit theaters on March 7, 2014 and is easily one of our most sought after films of next year. You can view the full trailer after the jump along with the film’s synopsis.

“The Grand Budapest Hotel tells of a legendary concierge at a famous European hotel between the wars and his friendship with a young employee who becomes his trusted protégé. The story involves the theft and recovery of a priceless Renaissance painting, the battle for an enormous family fortune and the slow and then sudden upheavals that transformed Europe during the first half of the 20th century.”
