Wes Anderson Refuses Rescue Until Firefighters Paint Elevator In Pastel Pink Tones

It was the ultimate indie horror film for people who shop exclusively at vintage hat shops. Wes Anderson, James L. Brooks, and a very confused Luke Wilson found themselves trapped in an elevator at the Academy Museum, and honestly, the vibes were immaculate. Witnesses say the trio didn't even panic; they just immediately started framing their faces in perfectly symmetrical angles while waiting for the LAFD to arrive. Insiders claim the rescue took longer than expected because Wes refused to leave the lift until the firefighters replaced their high-vis jackets with custom mustard-yellow corduroy blazers. There are rumors that James L. Brooks spent the time rewriting the script of their escape to make it more heart-wrenching, while Luke Wilson just stared blankly at the emergency button like it was a long-lost lover. By the time the doors finally pried open, the group had reportedly curated a whimsical soundtrack using only the elevator's hum and the sound of their own existential sighs. The firefighters were seen rolling their eyes as Wes asked if the ladder could be positioned three inches to the left to better capture the 'cinematic geometry' of the hallway. They are safe now, though Wes is reportedly suing the museum for the elevator's 'distressingly modern' font on the floor display.
