Just spoke with Rick Duran who attended the Knocked Up press junket and just posted this to the Frat Pack Tribute site: Owen Wilson is in Tropic Thunder!
This was confirmed by Knocked Up/Tropic Thunder costar Jay Baruchel today. Also in: Tom Cruise and Steve Coogan.
No word on the size of Owen's role, though I suspect the mention with Coogan probably means this is cameo territory. Nonetheless this is fabulous amazing news!
Tropic Thunder begins filming in July in Kauai.
Here's a summary:
Stiller is starring as Speedman, an action movie star who, along with four other macho co-stars, is forced to rely on his boot camp skills to stay alive when things go horribly awry on their new movie. Ben co-wrote the comedy screenplay with Justin Theroux (Zoolander, Charlie's Angels Full Throttle) and Etan Cohen (Idiocracy). Production is set to begin in July.
Black will play Jeff “Fats” Portnoy, an overweight gross-out comedian, who’s forced to kick his drug addiction while filming on location in the jungle.
Also starring are Robert Downey as Kirk Lazarus, the greatest actor of his generation and a four-time Oscar winner. Jay Baruchel (Knocked Up) will play Kevin Sandusky, an unknown actor on the set.

Anyone know if Tropic Thunder has finished filming? I was thinking Owen was filming this - or something - when he had his trouble yesterday.

I read a few days ago that Owen's part wasn't to be filmed until Sept. or Oct. (I don't remember which)

I was wondering the other day what part Owen was supposed to be cast as. I was think the Robert Downey Jr part b/c it's the biggest next to Ben's but I think RDJ is so great in the role that I was fantasizing about how great the flick would be with Owen in Jack Blacks part. So all three could still be in it.
Any ideas?

As far as I know, Matthew McC got the role that was originally intended for Owen... #donotknow#

When I came to this thread, for a second I thought Owen was in fact doing a cameo. However... #sad#
He'd BETTER attend the premiere. Those 75 strippers can wait!(Hey, I'm no judging... #rolleyes# )
