Wes Anderson, Luke Wilson, and producer James L. Brooks are reported to have become trapped in an elevator at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures after appearing together for a Q&A tied to the 30th anniversary screening of *Bottle Rocket*. Multiple outlets say the trio took part in the event at the museum on Monday evening, and the reunion became more intimate when the elevator incident occurred. Hollywood Reporter and Variety both report that the Los Angeles Fire Department eventually rescued them. Consequence of Sound adds that the trio were stuck with several other attendees, not only one another.
According to the accounts, Anderson, Luke Wilson, and Brooks remained in the elevator for roughly half an hour before being freed. The reports frame the incident as a temporary disruption following the on-stage segment for the anniversary celebration, with the rescue carried out by firefighters from the Los Angeles Fire Department. No injuries or additional details about the cause of the elevator stoppage are mentioned in the provided summaries.
