Jason Schwartzman Recalls Working With ‘Real Legend' Irrfan: ‘It's So Sad...'
Last Updated: Jason Schwartzman gets emotional talking about his The Darjeeling Limited co-star Irrfan. He further recalls catching a show of Quantum Of Solace at a theatre in India. Jason Schwartzman's association with India dates back to the mid-2000s. A large portion of Wes Anderson's The Darjeeling Limited were shot in Rajasthan's Jodhpur and Udaipur. The film starring Jason, Owen Wilson and Adrian Brody also had prominent Indian influences. For instance, most of the album had film score music composed by late auteur Satyajit Ray. Wes, in fact, had said that it was the legend's works like Charulata, among others, that made him want to come to India. Interestingly, The Darjeeling Limited also had Irrfan in a cameo appearance. Speaking to News18 exclusively, Jason says he vividly and fondly remembers Irrfan. Jason, in fact, gets emotional as he talks about the late actor, grieving his loss even today. 'I don't watch a lot of [Indian] movies. I won't say that I'm totally well-versed and aware [with Indian actors]. In The Darjeeling Limited, I got to work with a real legend. It's so sad that he passed away. Just to see the way he was… never mind! If I talk about him, I'll get too sad," he tells us. The other thing he remembers from his India trip is the love Indians hold in their heart for movies. During the shoot, Jason along with the team of The Darjeeling Limited went to catch a show of Quantum Of Solace on the big screen. 'There's so much love for movies and cinema in India. One of the best experiences that I've had in my life was going to watch a new James Bond film [in India] when it had come out. The whole group went to watch it. It was like heaven! I saw a bunch of non-James Bond films as well," Jason recalls. Jason is now gearing up for the release of HBO's Mountainhead created by Jesse Armstrong of Succession fame. Talking about it, he says, 'In my opinion, there are definitely parts that are physical and funny and bonkers that I didn't see in Succession. I always use this analogy about a band. If you like a band or a musician and they release something new and you listen to it, you know that it's their style and only they could've written it and yet, there's a new quality." The Asteroid City and The Grand Budapest Hotel actor continues, 'Maybe they used a new instrument or they worked with a new producer or they've a new guitar player. And this new flavour adds so much to the shelf of what they do. Mountainhead is clearly a Jesse Armstrong piece in style but it's also him with all of us." Mountainhead also stars Steve Carell, Cory Michael Smith and Ramy Youssef. First Published: May 31, 2025, 05:05 IST

Man denies breaching restraining order against ex-007 producer Barbara Broccoli
Daniel Wilson, 36, was prohibited from contacting Broccoli by the order that was put in place at Isleworth Crown Court on July 3 2017. Wilson, of Mostyn Road, Lambeth, appeared on video link and pleaded not guilty to each charge at Southwark Crown Court on Tuesday. Barbara Broccoli with her CBE medal for services to film and drama (Victoria Jones/PA) Broccoli, 64, and Michael G Wilson, 83, produced the James Bond franchise after the death of Albert 'Cubby' Broccoli until it was announced in February this year that Amazon MGM Studios will gain creative control. It is alleged that Wilson acted in breach of the restraining order by attempting to contact Broccoli 'without reasonable excuse' on 11 dates between April 2022 and April last year. The court heard Wilson, who wore glasses and a patterned jacket during the hearing, is currently staying in hospital. Bail conditions had been put in place at an earlier hearing and Judge Sally-Ann Hales KC ordered that they will continue. She told Wilson he cannot 'be in possession of any device that can access the internet' or contact Broccoli directly or indirectly. He must also live and sleep each night in a location directed by the NHS, she said. Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson (Ian West/PA) His trial was set for July 19 2027 and Judge Hales added: 'I'm afraid that is the earliest date that the court can accommodate.' She granted that Broccoli can give evidence behind screens 'given the a nature of the allegations'. Wilson is charged with acting in breach of the restraining order on April 1, April 19, May 19, May 25, June 30 and July 6 2022. He is also accused of doing so on March 10, April 12, April 17, April 20 and April 22 2024. The 007 franchise had been controlled by members of the Broccoli family, either single-handedly or in partnership with others, since the first 007 movie Dr No in 1962. Broccoli and her half-brother Wilson produced the last nine Bond films, including Casino Royale, Quantum Of Solace, Spectre and No Time To Die. They have been honoured with CBEs, and won the outstanding British film Bafta for 2012's Skyfall along with director Sir Sam Mendes. Amazon gained creative control of the British spy franchise following a deal which saw Eon Productions, run by Wilson and Broccoli, become co-owners with Amazon MGM Studios.
