After participating in a celebration of the 30th anniversary of Bottle Rock<\/em> on Monday, Wes Anderson found himself trapp<\/a>ed in an elevator at the Academy Museum\u00a0of Motion Pictures.<\/p>\n

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<\/a>. 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
