What are the notebooks seen in "The Life Aquatic"?
July 24, 2009 8:59 PM

What brands are, and/or where can I find the notebooks used by Cate Blanchett's and Bill Murray's characters in The Life Aquatic?

I can only find screencaps of the insides of the notebooks, sadly. Blanchett's is a small, spiralbound notebook with what looks like a recycled type of cover and cream-colored pages; inside seen here. Murray's is a thin black Moleskineish notebook, inside seen here.

This blog informs me that Blanchett's notebook is similar to the notebooks Wes Anderson himself uses, but that has also turned up few results. Thank you for your help!

Pretty sure that Steve Zissou uses the Moleskine Black Pocket Cahier.

Murray's looks like the Moleskine Cahier Journal, which is softsided with a brown kraft cover.

also perhaps check out these picadilly notebooks they are less expensive than moleskines, seem to have very good build quality, and come in sizes that the moleskines dont.

Wouldn't Steve Zissou use a waterproof field notebook?

I like the suggestion of Moleskine itself for Steve Zissou's notebook. Now if only I could find the other one...
