CelebNews@Usmagazine.com! - Owen Plays Suicide Role in Next Film

Owen Wilson co-wrote a scene in 2001 movie The Royal Tenenbaums where a character played by real-life brother Luke Wilson attempted suicide.

Now, Usmagazine.com has learned that in his upcoming movie, The Darjeeling Limited, Wilson plays a man who may have tried to commit suicide himself.

The Darjeeling Limited is a comic drama that follows three brothers played by Wilson, Jason Schwartzman and Adrien Brody, who, after the death of their father, decide to travel via train across India in an attempt to find their long-lost mother.

Wilson's character is very depressed by his father's death, and he wears bandages throughout the movie, implying recent wounds.

A source who has seen the film tells Us, “The suicide attempt is alluded to, but never specifically said. Owen’s character has bandages on throughout the movie (on his face and right hand), but you don’t know why. Toward the end of the movie, his brothers ask him about them. He tells them he was in a motorcycle wreck. It’s then alluded to –- but never said -- that the accident was possibly done on purpose. His character may have tried to commit suicide because of their father’s death.”

The Darjeeling Limited will be screened at next week's Venice Film Festival before opening the New York Film Festival on Sept. 28. It will open in limited release on Sept. 29.
