Though he has yet to win an Oscar (despite seven nominations, and counting), Wes Anderson is largely considered one of today’s most influential filmmakers.
To ensure that his character maintained his limp in The Darjeeling Limited, Owen Wilson stuck a lime in his shoe.
Bill Murray ended up working on Rushmore at scale with the Screen Actors Guild day rate minimum for smaller indie film projects. Anderson estimated that Murray made about $9000 for his work on the film.
