Wes's Next?

Wes Anderson aficionados may be waiting a long time for the director's next original project. With The Fantastic Mr. Fox wrapping up, he looks to be writing (and possibly directing) a remake of the French film Mon meilleur ami, about

a cranky antiques dealer who learns at a dinner with his closest acquaintances that none of them really like him because of his harsh manner and selfishness. When his business partner bets him a valuable vase that he can’t produce a best friend, the dealer tries to get an amiable cab driver to pose as his buddy.

Sounds fun, but I want my Darjeeling followup already.
