Director Wes Anderson (The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou, The Royal Tenenbaums), who offered US iTunes users a chance to download Hotel Chevalier for free for a limited time last year, has decided to play this prologue in front of his latest feature-length film, The Darjeeling Limited.

The short prologue, running 13 minutes long, features only Jason Schwartzman and Natalie Portman and it is also famous for featuring Natalie's nude shot. Hotel Chevalier tells the heart-breaking love story between Jack Whitman (Jason Schwartzman) with his then girlfriend.

Natalie Portman would appear in The Darjeeling Limited briefly as, of course, Jack's X-girlfriend.

The Darjeeling Limited opens in Hong Kong cinemas tomorrow (January 10).
