For those who have been trying to fill a Wes Anderson-shaped hole since 2014's Grand Budapest Hotel, here's a little something to tide you over until his next movie, Isle of Dogs, which comes out next year.

Over the weekend, on Reddit, a relatively new and teeny tiny subreddit called Accidental Wes Anderson hit the big time when user Nekhera posted this picture of a North Korean conference room which seems to have jumped straight off the set of one of the director's iconic films.

Since then, the subreddit has grown to nearly 20,500 subscribers and over 100 other pictures reminiscent of films like Moonrise Kingdom, The Royal Tenenbaums and Rushmore have also been submitted.

This conference room in North Korea

This was the photo that kicked things off. It's from the Rungrado 1st of May Stadium.

This is not the first time North Korean interiors have been singled out for their similarity to Wes Anderson films – Dazed first noted the parallels back in 2015. Thanks to r/AccidentalWesAnderson, though, we're discovering style-alikes all over the world.
