Big Screen Little Screen

Owen Wilson has dropped Adrien Brody’s name, playing Owen’s brother, into the cast list of Wes Anderson’s upcoming film set in India, The Darjeeling Limited, along with confirming Jason Schwartzman as the other brother. In an interview with Australian newspaper The Herald Sun, Owen revealed this:

What are you doing next?

I think I’m working on a movie about these kids who are getting bullied and they hire me as a bodyguard. Then there’s a movie I’m going to do with Wes in India, that Wes wrote and is directing. It’s about three brothers — with me, Jason Schwartzman and Adrien Brody.

But it’s not a Bollywood movie?

No. It’s going to be wild. Wes assures me it’s great, and I kind of believe him because I think of myself as more likely to go some place where I’d be roughing it before Wes. He likes staying in five-star hotels, and nice things.

So Owen appears to be the answer man for all things Darjeeling, as he was the first to mention its existence a few weeks ago. Maybe if someone takes him out for a couple of beers, maybe a night out to the Steely Dan concert, he’ll let you read the script.
