Contrary to what the old song implies, it takes more than one man to build a railroad and make it run. Wes Anderson, cowriter and director of The Darjeeling Limited, would be the first to admit that. Premiere spoke with some of the film's other talents to gain more insight into Darjeeling's evolution and production.

Roman Coppola, son of director-producer-writer Francis Ford Coppola, is the multi-hyphenate on the film: cowriter–coproducer–second unit director. Costar and cowriter Jason Schwartzman plays Jack Whitman, the youngest of the film's three Whitman brothers, a writer with major ex-girlfriend issues. Adrien Brody is Peter Whitman, the middle brother, with Owen Wilson rounding out the trio. While costars Schwartzman and Owen Wilson have collaborated with Anderson before, this was Brody's first time working with the director. Amara Karan, who plays the enigmatic train steward Rita, got her role straight out of drama school in Britain.
