What’s Next For Owen Wilson?

Wilson has allegedly suffered from drug addictions for nearly ten years, according to reports. Though his rep denied his drug use, Owen reportedly entered rehab for cocaine and heroin at the Hazelden Center in Minnesota about seven years ago.

But was there a second rehab stint? People magazine reports Owen has sought treatment at least twice, also enrolling in Malibu’s Promises rehab center, where Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears have also spent some time.

“This is someone who’s struggled with the demons for years,” People magazine’s Galina Espinoza told Access. “He’s battled depression, he’s battled drugs — friends told us that he had turned to the hard stuff in recent years.”

While many are focused on Wilson’s past in light of the situation, what does the future hold for his movie career?

After starring in eight movies together, Wilson and Ben Stiller’s streak has come to an end. Owen has opted to pull out of Ben’s latest movie, “Tropic Thunder,” to take care of his health. Wilson reportedly had a minor part in the comedy, which stars Jack Black and Robert Downey Jr. and revolves around a group of actors who find themselves in the middle of a war.

The decision to depart the film was reportedly characterized as a “mutual agreement” between Wilson and Stiller, who is directing the film.

When contacted by Access Hollywood, Wilson’s rep said that she will honor Owen’s request for privacy at this time and there will be no statement.

Wilson already completed his work in “The Darjeeling Limited,” a film written and directed by his friend, Wes Anderson. Wilson has appeared in five of Anderson’s films, including “Rushmore” and “The Royal Tenenbaums.”

“The Darjeeling Limited” makes its premiere at the Venice Film Festival on Sept. 3, before opening in the U.S. on Sept. 29. Owen will reportedly not be doing press for the film in Venice.

Also completed is “Drillbit Taylor,” about a low budget soldier of fortune (Wilson) hired to play bodyguard to two high school freshman. The film opens on March 21, 2008.

Wilson was cast opposite Jennifer Aniston in the Fox 2000 comedy, “Marley & Me,” which was tentatively scheduled to begin production in January. When asked if production on “Marley & Me” would be affected, a Fox spokesman told Variety, “It’s a totally inappropriate question at this time when all of our thoughts and concerns are with his health and well being.”

Some industry insiders feel that any perceived fallout resulting from Wilson’s current situation will be a temporary thing, at least as far as his film career is concerned.

Wilson’s public perception is “very positive,” industry analyst Paul Dergarabedian (of Media By Numbers) told the Associated Press. “Owen Wilson has a really good reputation and people in general really feel bad for him right now.”

Veteran Hollywood manager Bernie Brillstein agreed, saying “he’s loved,” and that the reported suicide attempt is “serious, but it’s a singular case. Anyone can have a bad day, a very bad day.”

Additional projects in development with Wilson attached include an action comedy called “East Bound and Down,” and teen comedy, “The Smoker.” Wilson is also attached to act in and produce a war drama called “Hello To All That” and the romantic comedy “Stalker: A Love Story.”

“Year One,” a historical comedy starring Jack Black, reportedly has Wilson on board to executive produce.
