McConaughey to replace Wilson

By Alexandra Heilbron on September 20, 2007 | 4 Comments

Matthew McConaughey will take over for Owen Wilson in Ben Stiller‘s new comedy, Tropic Thunder. Wilson withdrew from the project last month after a highly publicized suicide attempt. Meanwhile, Jennifer Garner may join McConaughey in another project—Ghosts of Girlfriends Past—which has been on hold for almost a year. Shooting is finally scheduled to begin in January.

   Mathhew isn’t nearly as funny as Owen.
   The movie will bomb.
