Matthew McConaughey has signed on for Ben Stiller’s upcoming comedy Tropic Thunder, replacing Owen Wilson who dropped out of the movie last month after he was hospitalized for what police called a suicide attempt.
Hollywood trade paper Variety reports that McConaughey will now take on the cameo role, joining an all-star ensemble cast. Other actors set to appear in the comedy include Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr and Nick Nolte. Tropic Thunder sees a group of actors filming a big-budget war movie on a remote island forced to become actual soldiers when they unwittingly get pulled into a country’s armed revolution.
The $150M budget Tropic Thunder is scheduled for a 2008 release.

Looks like Owen Wilson and Kate Hudson are continuing their relationship but want to keep it under the radar. Prezhilton reports that Owen flew down under to keep Kate company for Valentine‘s day. However funny man Owen was adverse to have any pictures of the couple together taken as he’s keen to keep the story of the front pages of tabloids (VIPglamour thinks he shouldn’t worry so much, Britney and Anna Nicole Smith pretty much have the monopoly on cover stories at the moment)
The pair walked hand-in-hand to the back door of the cinema but leapt apart and headed for separate doors when they realised a photographer was present. Wilson is widely known as the Mr Nice Guy of Hollywood, but he was so keen to avoid being snapped that he twice shoved the Bulletin photographer out of the way as he rushed up the stairs.
A fan waiting in the cinema foyer said she was shocked to see the star’s violent outburst.
“We were going to ask him for a photograph but when we saw him trying to ram the photographer we were too scared, and we couldn’t even look at him,” said Jemima O’Neill.
“We had been waiting for nearly two hours, but he was so angry we thought there is no way we are going to ask him for a photograph now.
