Back To Work

Filed under: Film Flickers > Owen Wilson

Owen Wilson is getting back into the swing of things after his attempted suicide last year.

The actor is set to start filming a new movie.

Marley & Me begins shooting in Miami next month.

Marley & Me, based on a memoir, depicts the lives of a young columnist and his wife, also a reporter, who move to South Florida and adopt an incredible puppy named Marley.

The film co-stars Jennifer Aniston.

This smells like box office disaster!

Well it was a great book about an INSANE ass dog so I guess we'll have to see if it bombs in the theater. If done well it could totally be cute.

deedee says – reply to this

39

The book is excellent. It will make you laugh, big time. Everyone should read it. If you are a dog lover especially. I am not a big time reader but I read that from front to back.

So if the movie is anything like the book. THEY HAVE A BIG HIT

The movie does sound kind of lame but I love Owen and I am glad he is getting back to work. He is a funny guy and I like his movies. I hope he feels better now and has his life sorted out.
Marley and Me fan!! says – reply to this

45

I read this book. It's a real good book. I'll see the movie when it comes out
dan says – reply to this

46

this was one of the most depressing books ever…
Teddy says – reply to this

47

Amazingly Jennifer Annistan, the least talented of all the "Friends" gets the majority of the work. Can anyone of you think of ANY film she's done that was a quality piece of work. Owen Wilson is just a pretty boy who never has been able to act his way out of the proverbial paper sack. Shall we take bets now as to how many times he ends up in his tighty whities is the pic?
Barbara says – reply to this

48

If you haven't read the book, it's fantastic. I don't know anyone who has read it that didn't cry at the end. Howard Stern even said he cried afterwards. It's a very touching story with lots of humor. I am looking foward to seeing it.
Sarah says – reply to this

49

Marley & Me was a great book and a huge bestseller, so there's potential there. I don't know about the matchup between Aniston and Wilson, but they are both good at this kind of dramedy, so hopefully it'll work out well.
Sarah says – reply to this

50

Perez, don't hate! The book Marley and Me is amazing. Don't diss people's special relationships with their dogs. You have a cutie of your own!
malissa says – reply to this

51

Marley and Me is actually a really hilarious book! Being a dog lover you will probably like it!
a friend of John Grogan says – reply to this

52

The movie is based on the book that my good friend John Grogan wrote, called Marley and Me, about John's dog Marley.
HOW'S THAT INSURANCE BOND GOING? says – reply to this

53

I can't think of ANYONE who WOULDN'T want to see someone who would rather be a CORPSE than STAR in another MOVIE! Talk about a MONEY TRAIN!!!

Poor, poor, poor, poor, poor OWEN… The world weeps for the loss of his loss… Well, I'm sure there is plenty of heroin in Miami to make our future dreams come true. I bet Jennifer Anniston is writing her eulogy to Owen as she waits for her flight to Miami.

I bet it goes a little something like this:

"AH, OWEN…..
WHAT A FUCKING BUTTERSCOTCH DOUCHE YOU WERE! I SUPPOSE NOBODY EVER TOLD YOU- YOU POOR RETARDED FUCK THAT THERE'S NO HEROIN IN HEAVEN- NOT YOUR BROTHERS, LUKE, RAAIN AND FLIP?… OH WELL- SINCE WE NOW HAVE THE DAY OFF, DOES ANYBODY WANT TO GO SWIMMING?"
Emily says – reply to this

54

This is one of my favorite books and if Jennifer Aniston is playing who I think she'll be playing, I really hope she doesn't fuck this movie up.
Kat says – reply to this

55

The book the movie was based on was amazing so it's safe to say the movie will probably suck…
Cheryl says – reply to this

56

Marley and me is a story based on reality, in fact Cesar Milan spent time with the family after Marley passed away and their new dog was a little rowdy, give it a chance huh?
ME says – reply to this

57

Disaster, kinda like "A Mighty Heart."
Nicole says – reply to this

58

I think they're going to hook up..
For some reason, I could really see Jen Aniston and Owen Wilson together.
PRBaby says – reply to this

59

The movie sounds like Sh!t, but its good to see him working again..
CAN'T FUCKING WAIT FOR THE SHOW!!!!!!!! says – reply to this

60

A heartwarming tale of a golden retriever that no longer wants to live and the human enablers who spoon-feed him heroin in order to keep the money machine chugging full fucking blast!!!
nadia says – reply to this

61

I loved that book! I am excited to see this movie.
Roxelle says – reply to this

62

I read the book and it was HIGHlarious, the writer did a great job, hopefully the money will be as funny, I'll be going to watch it.
Terri says – reply to this

63

I loved this book!! I certainly don't see these two as the two main characters though. Grogan is a community journalist with a sarcastic yet eloquent manner- totally not Owen Wilson. I hope hollywood doesn't turn this into some 'Beethoven' piece of crap.
gina says – reply to this

64

marley & me is a great book.. it will transfer well into a screenplay.
kristy says – reply to this

65

It is actually a really great book!!!
CK says – reply to this

66

Marley and Me is an awesome book. Hopefully he doesn't fuck it up too much.
bunyik says – reply to this

67

One of the bestselling books of recent years? Yeah…film's bound to be a disaster *rolls eyes*
Mary K says – reply to this

68

I went back and read the other posts….I know the post said it was based off a memoir but I was having a duh moment and didn't realize it was based off of a novel…..The other posts said it was a very good book so maybe it won't be a lame movie but sometimes books don't translate well into movies. I will def see if I can find the book now and read it…….then I will watch the movie and see. I know I LOVED the book A Walk to Remember but the movie was not as good. It wasn't bad but I was expecting more.

Marly and Me is one of the BEST books I've ever read! I could not stop crying, I can't wait for the movie!!

kissy face says – reply to this

75

Jen needs a ride on the Butterscotch Stallion…gross
dq says – reply to this

76

smells like box office hit to me. the book is fabulous and they casted Owen well, it will be intersting to see if Anniston can assume the wife's role - gut wrenching stuff in addition to lots of comedy. the dog will be the scene stealer
dirks says – reply to this

77

Disaster…maybe not, it is based on a book that is quit good and heartbreaking
T says – reply to this

78

Its a great book asshole! I don't see you doing anything better!
Ashley says – reply to this

79

It's based on a best selling book that 'took the nation by storm'. I doubt it'll bomb.
sarah says – reply to this

80

the book ROCKED! one of the best books I have ever read so lets just see how it does…
ms.m says – reply to this

81

The movie could be good because the book is GREAT! I read it awhile back and it's one of my favorite books. It's a must read for any dog lover, you should read it Perez. It's hilarious! Touching too….
joe says – reply to this

82

read the book, perez, it's actually pretty great
nikki says – reply to this

83

the book, "marley and me" is absolutely hilarious and heartwarming! you will laugh out loud and you will eventually cry your eyes out. if the movie is half as good as the book, it will be fantastic! i am definitely going to see it!
sam says – reply to this

84

Has anyone told him his ex-girlfriend is knocked up by another guy?
K23 says – reply to this

85

Actually, the book 'Marley and Me' was written beautifully and is definitely a tear jerker. If they don't screw up the movie it shouldn't be a disaster.
BUTTERSCOTCH SUICIDE = BOX OFFICE GOLD!! says – reply to this

86

Which HOLLYWOOD ROCKET SCIENTISTS but that DEAL together? Drug addict who would rather be a corpse + dusty menopausal "Friend" who would rather pretend she shouldn't kill herself + Golden Retriever with a quart of "Jiff" peanut butter jammed in it's snout (so it appears to be "talking" to the Suicidal and his Bitch) = 600 MILLION DOLLARS IN PROFITS or my name isn't: GO FUCK YOURSELF OWEN WILSON!!!. Can I just PAY MY MONEY NOW????
Tara says – reply to this

87

My mom bought that book for my Dad two Christmases ago. He still hasn't read it. But she did and liked it. So did my cousin.

I just can't picture Jen Aniston with Owen Wilson. Luke Wilson maybe…

If they do the book any justice, this movie could really turn out well. The book was fabulous, especially if you are a dog lover
Erica says – reply to this

94

Owen Wilson also did another movie that is kind of like Superbad according to the preview that I had just seen… This is coming out March 21st if anyone is interested sorry I forget what it was called
Karina says – reply to this

Re: Teddy –

I thought Friends with Money was alright….
Ashley says – reply to this

98

Oh Perez, if you are even a little bit of a dog lover, you have got to read the book Marley and Me by John Grogan. It's funny & heartwarming, and you'll definitely cry at the end! The book has great potential for a movie.
Lola says – reply to this

Angelina Jolie Announces That Her Next Movie Will Be...

Maleficent!

At least, we think it is! Almost positive, actually!

Angelina Jolie was at the Berlin International Film Festival today, where she is screening her directorial debut, In The Land Of Blood and Honey out of competition, when she announced that the long-rumored project was next up for her - even though she didn't specifically call it by name!

She explains:

"I haven't acted in two years, and I haven't done anything else since this . The next thing I am looking at is a Disney movie. The best thing to find that balance is to do something that is just for children. You know, you find different ways to make things matter. When, for example, you do fun action movies, they are empowering for my daughters."

And since we've gotten word that the Luc Besson movie she had been eyeing seems to have stalled, and Maleficent recently got Robert Stromberg as a director, we think it's safe to say that the Linda Woolverton-written adaptation of the classic fairy tale is definitely where we'll see her next!

So, so cool!

Gurl is going to ROCK this! Don't U think?
