LOS ANGELES – Owen Wilson is going back to work for the first time since his reported suicide attempt last summer.
Wilson, 39, and co-star Jennifer Aniston begin shooting March 10 on 20th Century Fox’s “Marley & Me,” the studio said. It tells the tale of a couple who adopt a dog to give parenthood a trial run, then find the mischievous pooch more than they bargained for.
After he was hospitalized last August, Wilson dropped out of this summer’s comedy “Tropic Thunder,” which already had been in production. He was replaced by Matthew McConaughey.
Due out Christmas Day, “Marley & Me” is directed by David Frankel and based on the book by John Grogan. Alan Arkin co-stars.
