Wilson happy with his new movie

Troubled actor Owen Wilson, who recently attempted suicide, said he is very happy with his new movie, "The Darjeeling Limited", though he plays a man with suicidal tendencies. Wilson allegedly attempted to end his life by slashing his wrists in real life and his character in the movie has a deliberate motorcycle accident, reports contactmusic.com. Director Wes Anderson, who is also a good friend of the actor, said Wilson does not want the movie to be postponed even after his recent problems. Anderson said: "That's not what I want and not what Owen wants. Owen is very happy we're releasing it now." Roman Coppola, the co-writer of the movie, added: "There's the show business adage of the show must go on. We're all sympathetic about our friend's well being. I haven't spoken with him about this but I think he'd be very eager that the film be shown. He's proud of the work we did. "In terms of art and personal life echoing one another, that's the proper way to make a movie. I've been witness to a lot of movies that my dad (Francis Ford Coppola) did and it's very familiar to me that your personal life reflects the theme of the movie."
