Timeline

1969

Wesley Wales Anderson (born May 1, 1969) is an American filmmaker.

His films are known for their eccentricity, unique visual and narrative styles, and frequent use of ensemble casts.

They often contain themes of grief, loss of innocence, and dysfunctional families.

Some critics cite Anderson as a modern-day example of an auteur.

Wesley Wales Anderson was born on May 1, 1969, in Houston, Texas, to Ann Anderson (née Burroughs), a realtor and archaeologist, and Melver Leonard Anderson, who worked in advertising and public relations.

He is the second of three boys; his parents divorced when he was eight.

His older brother, Mel, is a physician, and his younger brother, Eric Chase Anderson, is a writer and artist whose paintings and designs have appeared in several of Anderson's films, including The Royal Tenenbaums.

Anderson is of English, Swedish, and Norwegian ancestry.

1987

He graduated from St. John's School in Houston in 1987, which he later used as a prominent location in Rushmore.

As a child, Anderson made silent films on his father's Super 8 camera, which starred his brothers and friends, although his first ambition was to be a writer.

1989

Anderson worked part-time as a cinema projectionist at Hogg Memorial Auditorium while attending the University of Texas at Austin, where he met his roommate and future collaborator Owen Wilson in 1989.

1991

In 1991, he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts with a major in philosophy.

1996

Anderson gained acclaim for his early films Bottle Rocket (1996) and Rushmore (1998).

He often collaborated with brothers Luke Wilson and Owen Wilson during that time and founded his production company American Empirical Pictures, which he runs.

Anderson's first film was Bottle Rocket (1996), based on a short film of the same name that he made with Luke and Owen Wilson.

It was a crime caper about a group of young Texans aspiring to achieve major heists.

It was well reviewed but performed poorly at the box office.

1998

His next film was Rushmore (1998), a quirky comedy about a high school student's crush on an elementary school teacher starring Jason Schwartzman, Bill Murray, and Olivia Williams.

It was a critical and financial success.

The film launched Murray's second act as a respected actor in independent cinema.

Murray has appeared in many of Anderson's subsequent films.

1999

At the 1999 Independent Spirit Awards, Anderson won the Best Director award and Murray won Best Supporting Male.

Murray also earned a nomination for Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor – Motion Picture.

2000

In 2000, filmmaker Martin Scorsese praised Bottle Rocket and Rushmore.

2001

He then received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for The Royal Tenenbaums (2001).

Anderson's next comedy-drama, The Royal Tenenbaums, was released in 2001.

The film focuses on a successful, artistic New York City family and its ostracized patriarch, played by Gene Hackman.

It also stars Anjelica Huston as the ex-wife and Ben Stiller, Luke Wilson, and Gwyneth Paltrow as the children.

The film was a box-office and critical success.

It was Anderson's greatest financial success until Moonrise Kingdom, earning more than $50 million in domestic box-office receipts.

2004

His next films included The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004), The Darjeeling Limited (2007), and his first stop-motion film, Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009), for which he received an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature nomination, and then Moonrise Kingdom (2012), earning his second Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay nomination.

Anderson's next feature was The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004), about a Jacques Cousteau-esque documentary filmmaker played by Bill Murray.

The film also stars Owen Wilson, Cate Blanchett, Willem Dafoe, Jeff Goldblum, Anjelica Huston, and Michael Gambon.

It is a classic example of Anderson's style, but its critical reception was less favorable than his previous films', and its box office did not match the heights of The Royal Tenenbaums.

2014

For his film The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014), he received his first Academy Award nominations for Best Director and Best Picture, and won the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy and the BAFTA Award for Best Original Screenplay.

2018

Later works include his second stop-motion film, Isle of Dogs (2018), earning him the Silver Bear for Best Director, followed by The French Dispatch (2021), Asteroid City (2023).
