This one comes out of the “well, duh” files, but it’s been announced and we’re passing the news along: Owen Wilson has dropped out of his planned appearance in the Ben Stiller comedy Tropic Thunder.
Wilson’s decision makes nothing but sense — according to Variety, he was scheduled to film his scenes in “two to three weeks,” and given that he’s in the hospital recovering from a suicide attempt, he’s got better things to do with his time right now. For what it’s worth, Stiller agrees. From the article:
“Ben and Owen have made eight movies together,” a source close to the project said. “And he can’t wait to work with Owen again. It’s just not going to be on this film.”
And that’s all there is to say, really.
