Owen Wilson drops out of project

Two days after being hospitalized for an attempted suicide, Owen Wilson has dropped out of the Ben Stiller-directed comedy Tropic Thunder, currently filming in Hawaii. Both Dream Works and Wilson's personal publicist declined comment. The You, Me and Dupree actor was scheduled to begin a weeklong shoot in two to three weeks. The decision was characterized as a mutual agreement between Stiller and Wilson. "Ben and Owen have made eight movies together," said a source close to the project. "And he can't wait to work with Owen again. It's just not going to be on this film."
