After his suicide attempt, Owen Wilson has dropped out of the film Tropic Thunder, starring Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Robert Downey, Jr., in which he was to have a cameo appearance. The film is already six weeks into production in Hawaii.
Wilson’s most recent film, The Darjeeling Limited, in which he actually plays a character thought to have attempted suicide, will hit theaters on September 29 as planned.
“Following a discussion between the cast and filmmakers, all have agreed `The Darjeeling Limited’ will open as planned on September 29,” Fox Searchlight said in a statement Wednesday.
We haven’t heard any comment from Camp Owen since Monday’s brief statement: “I respectfully ask that the media allow me to receive care and heal in private during this difficult time.â€
