Owen Wilson's latest, The Darjeeling Limited, opens in limited release on September 29. At a press event for the movie, reporters asked filmmakers Roman Coppola and Wes Anderson, along with co-star Adrien Brody if the the film, in which it is implied that Wilson's character may have recently attempted suicide, should have been postponed in light of the actor's recent real-life attempt to end his life. And while Coppola and Anderson (who says he "loves" what pal Wilson did in the movie) answered a resounding "no," Brody skirted the issue.

Read their complete thoughts on the question of postponing The Darjeeling Limited's release, below.

"That’s not what I want and not what Owen wants. Owen’s very happy we’re releasing it now." -- Director, Wes Anderson

"There’s the show business adage of the show must go on. We’re all sympathetic about our friend’s well being. I haven’t spoken with him about this but I think he’d be very eager that the film be shown. He’s proud of the work we did. In terms of art and personal life echoing one another -- that’s the proper way to make a movie. I’ve been witness to a lot of movies that my dad [Francis Ford Coppola] did and it’s very familiar to me that your personal life reflects the theme of the movie...To me it’s just a given that your life and the theme of the work is going to intertwine." -- Co-writer, Roman Coppola

"I try not to think about those things. It’s not up to me." -- Adrien Brody

all three svcked.

11:02 AM MCET Says:

Actually, I only quoted from the three films that Owen wrote with Wes. All three are masterpieces.

Anon, don't get MCET going, soon he'll be furiously copying and pasting every quote from every movie Owen Wilson has ever been in.

10:47 AM MCET Says:

Yeah. The humor in Wes Andersen movies is a bit peculiar and insular.

MCET, because of not understanding it?

There will be a lot of people wanting to see this movie, just for the sensationalism of it.

My guess is that many of those people will walk out before the movie ends.

Yes, release it now. The limited release thing is irritating. I'm looking forward to this one more than anything else so far this year.

I hope Owen is healing mentally and wish him all the best. No matter how much money a person has, or fame, doesn't make you whole.

Wicked, I want to apologize to you for giving you a hard time in the past. It won't happen again. If it's any consolation, it made me feel crappy afterwards. Someone on another blog pointed out to someone feeling bad today that he/she had been been guilty of posting crappy stuff. I've done it to and I've done it to you.

I'm really sorry Wicked and I will not do it again.

I've got at least 2 trolls, possibly 3. You are the comma splice troll.

6:47 PM Wicked Says:

I have a hard time typing what I really feel, then when everyone hates me for it, I just blame a troll.

Takes a wrist sticking and keeps on ticking. You're outstanding Owen!

It's not that difficult to pick another name. How dim are you?
