Reel Movie Stars: Owen Wilson

Owen Wilson at You, Me and Dupree We’re choosing the hilarious Owen Wilson for our fourth installment of Reel Movie Stars. If you can’t tell from our choices of Will Ferrell, Luke Wilson, and Vince Vaughn, we’re doing the Frat Pack, one member at a time.

Wilson made his film debut alongside his brother Luke, in Wes Anderson’s first movie, Bottle Rockets. However, Owen’s career took off thanks to his role opposite Jackie Chan in Shanghai Noon in 2000.

A Preview of Drillbit Taylor

Judd Apatow and Seth Rogen have another movie coming out. It’s called Drillbit Taylor, it hits theaters in the spring of 2008 and it stars Owen Wilson.

We assume this is enough to inspire anyone to watch, but here’s a preview of the comedy anyway:

Ryan, Wade and Emmit attend their first day at high school and they’re pumped … until they meet up with Filkins, a school bully who comes off like a little Hannibal Lecter. Before they become completely engulfed in Filkins’ reign of terror, they seek out some protection by placing an ad in soldier of fortune magazine.

Drillbit Taylor

Their best response - and the cheapest - comes from Drillbit Taylor (Wilson), a down-on-his luck soldier of fortune who lives a homeless - he likes to say “home free” - existence on the beach. He enrolls them in some physical and mental training.
