The director was trapped in the elevator for roughly 30 minutes, alongside Luke Wilson producer James L. Brooks, before the Los Angeles Fire Department came to their aid. <\/p>\n

Save Your Cinema claimed the elevator was \u201ca secret passageway\/elevator so celebrities can enter and exit without\u201d at the Academy Museum, though The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> was not able to confirm if Anderson had taken an alternative entrance not made available to the public. <\/p>\n

Carolyn Dunn, a production specialist for 20th Century Fox, did, however, share a video of Anderson and Brooks exiting the elevator on Instagram. In the clip, Anderson can be heard asking the LAFD what went wrong, to which one official responded, \u201cProbably had too much weight in there.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOkay, thank you very much,\u201d Anderson replied. <\/p>\n

THR<\/em> has reached out to the Academy Museum and the LAFD for comment, but did not hear back by the time of publication. <\/p>\n

Bottle Rocket<\/em> marked the Oscar winner\u2019s feature directorial debut. It was released in 1996, and starred Luke and Owen Wilson, with the latter actor also being present for Monday night\u2019s event; Ned Dowdand Shea Fowler also starred. Cynthia Hargrave and Polly Platt served as producers, while Anderson and Owen penned the script.<\/p>\n

Anderon\u2019s most recent feature, The Phoenician Scheme<\/em>, starred Benicio Del Toro, Mia Threapleton, Michael Cera, Jeffrey Wright, Tom Hanks and Scarlett Johansson, and came out in 2025. <\/p>\n
