SINGAPORE — For those who dream of travelling into the whimsical world of director Wes Anderson who has made movies such as The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou, The Darjeeling Limited and The Royal Tenenbaums, you might soon be able to.

The film auteur revealed his plan to build a theme park in the foreword of a book by long-time collaborator Mark Mothersbaugh, who has scored Anderson’s movies. Anderson wrote in Mark Mothersbaugh: Myopia: “I hope to soon secure the means to commission the construction of an important and sizeable theme park to be conceived and designed entirely by Mark Mothersbaugh. For 40 years, he has set about creating a body of work which amounts to his own Magic Kingdom, where the visitor is amused and frightened, often simultaneously.”

While there has been no word on whether the theme park is confirmed, Anderson added in the foreword that “it will include hundreds of animatronic characters and creatures, rides through vast invented landscapes and buildings, extensive galleries of textiles and sculptures, plus an ongoing original music score piped in everywhere.”

It has been reported that if the theme park is ever realised, it will be constructed in Akron, Ohio, which is where Mothersbaugh is born. Now that certainly sounds like the trip of a lifetime. SERENE LIM
