TL;DR: The Criterion Collection officially has the Wes Anderson Archive, which includes 4K masters of his first 10 films and more, up for preorder for $399.96. The box set will be released on Sept. 30, but you can secure yours as of May 30.

The Criterion Collection’s Wes Anderson Archive is set for release on Sept. 30, but preorders are officially live for fans of the eccentric pastel-toned filmmaking legend.

The special edition collector’s set includes Anderson’s first 10 feature films, spanning 25 years. Those include Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, The Darjeeling Limited, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Moonrise Kingdom, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Isle of Dogs, and The French Dispatch of the Liberty, Kansas Evening Sun. Note that 2023’s Asteroid City is not included in the mix.

The 20-disc set features ten new 4K masters of the film in Dolby Vision HDR, plus ten Blu-ray discs of the film with over 25 hours of special features. You can watch original audition tapes, deleted scenes, interviews, commercials, archival recordings, shorts, animation tests, and more. Along with the films themselves, you’ll also receive 10 fancy clothbound edition illustrated books, all in an appropriately muted-tone Anderson-esque keepsake box. The collection as a whole is aesthetically suited to the Wes Anderson oeuvre, which fans will most certainly adore.
