Wow. The 14 Must-Watch Owen Wilson Movies.
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." SOME PEOPLE ARE, to put it simply, balls of shining light. Those people exist here and there in our everyday lives, sure, but especially so when watching movies and TV shows. We're talking about the people who show up, and whether in a lead or supporting role, are someone we don't mind spending whatever time we can get with. For nearly 30 years, Owen Wilson has been one of those people. Wilson is best known for his work in comedy (starting with his debut role in Wes Anderson's Bottle Rocket), but through the years he's also shown an innate ability to handle anything from an action movie to a psychological drama just as well. He's a versatile performer who can do just about anything a director or a viewer might want, and always make it happen with his signature laid-back, likable charm. Even when he's playing someone who's kind of a dick—like, say, in Zoolander or The Royal Tenenbaums—there's something about the guy that we can't help but come around to. In his latest project, Apple TV+'s Stick, he comes around to a genre he's dabbled in before—the sports story. As a co-writer of The Royal Tenenbaums (which prominently features tennis) and a star of James L. Brooks's How Do You Know (where he played a baseball player), this isn't uncharted territory. But while Stick hits most of the familiar sports movie beats, where it shines is in centering Wilson—once again, he's just a guy we want to spend some time with. And if you're watching Stick (or anything else) and want to spend more time with Owen Wilson, the list below will have you covered with some of his best and most versatile appearances. Owen Wilson—along with his brother, Luke Wilson—first came to fame in Wes Anderson's debut film, Bottle Rocket. While Anderson's style would become much refined from here, Bottle Rocket is an indie comedy heist movie that perfectly puts on display exactly what both Wilsons are capable of. It's fun, clever, funny, and extremely formative to Wilson's persona as a screen presence. Shop Now Shop Now See the original post on YoutubeWithout doubt one of Wilson's greatest partnerships has come with Ben Stiller (a relationship that lasts to this very day), and their dynamic is never better on display than in Zoolander. The film follows Derek Zoolander (Stiller), an empty-headed male model who's at the very top of his game—until a "so hot right now" newcomer named Hansel (Wilson) starts to steal his thunder. Add in a hilarious villain named Mugatu (Will Ferrell) and a funny Manchurian Candidate style subplot, and you have one of the signature comedies of the 2000s. Shop Now Shop Now See the original post on YoutubeThe Royal Tenenbaums tells the story of a narcissistic family patriarch named Royal Tenenbaum (Gene Hackman) who returns home with life-changing news for his family. Tenenbaums is, to this day, one of Wes Anderson's best films—it's arguably the point where his style most clearly and without question came into full focus—and clearly provided inspiration for shows like Arrested Development and Succession. Wilson plays the vital role of Eli Cash, who is a lifelong family friend of the Tenenbaum family who grows up into a Cormac McCarthy-esque writer of modern Western fiction. Stiller, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Owen's brother Luke are among the many others in this impressive and delightful cast. This may be the best movie on this list overall. Shop Now Shop Now See the original post on YoutubeLook, we said Wilson and Stiller were one of the great comedy duos of the 2000s, and that wasn't a lie. Meet the Parents focuses on Ben Stiller's Greg Focker as he tries to win over Jack Byrnes (Robert De Niro), the deadly serious and highly skeptical father of his new fiancée. But that's not his only task—he's also got to compete with Kevin (Wilson), who's his fiancée's charismatic and highly-successful ex-boyfriend. The two, as usual, work some magic together. There are two other films in this series (Meet the Fockers and Little Fockers) with a fourth on the way, but for the purposes of this list we're going to have to stick with the OG. Shop Now Shop Now See the original post on YoutubeWhen Rush Hour became a major hit in the late '90s, replicating its success became a major priority. And so Shanghai Noon was born—and it's different enough from Rush Hour to still hold up pretty decently. Jackie Chan stars as Chon Wang (pronounced like "John Wayne,' ha ha) who is from the Chinese Imperial Guard and looking to save a princess—and is teamed up with a fun-loving cowboy named Roy O'Bannon (a perfectly cast Wilson, stepping into the Chris Tucker role). It's fun! So fun, in fact, that a second movie, Shanghai Knights came out a couple years later. Shop Now Shop Now See the original post on YoutubeWe said Zoolander was one of the signature broad comedies of the 2000s, and it certainly is. But part of the glory of Owen Wilson is that he's in more than one of the signature broad comedies of the 2000s, because Wedding Crashers is certainly that. Wilson and Vince Vaughn play a pair of attorneys who have an annual tradition: pretending to be people they aren't in order to get into weddings they were not invited to, and just have a ton of fun. Wilson and Vaughn's chemistry is for the ages, their love interests are played by Rachel McAdams and Isla Fisher, Christopher Walken is there, and you get a fantastic early Bradley Cooper performance as the film's villain. Truly what more do you need? It's a raunchy classic for a reason. Shop Now Shop Now See the original post on YoutubeThe Wes Anderson movies just keep coming. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou is a movie about deep sea exploration, but at it's core its a story about a father (Bill Murray) and his son (Wilson). Come for Anderson's aesthetic and the movie's fantastic David Bowie covers, and stick around for a really touching relationship at the core and well-crafted characters. Shop Now Shop Now See the original post on YoutubePart of Wilson's greatness is that he can do a little bit of everything—and that includes voicing the lead character in an iconic Pixar film. Cars is a film about, well, cars, but Wilson plays the one and only Lightning McQueen. Lightning is stand-in for the typical hot-shot athlete who knows little more than winning and his own catch phrases before he needs to get humbled and meets a world-weary mentor named Doc Hudson (voiced by Paul Newman). There are three Cars movies, but the first remains the best, and a classic for all ages, to this day. Shop Now Shop Now See the original post on YoutubeFolks, we've reached the list's fourth and final Wes Anderson movie, and it's The Darjeeling Limited. The film features three brothers—played by Wilson, Jason Schwartzman, and reigning Academy Award-winner Adrien Brody—as they take a trip through India with one another on the anniversary of their father's death. It's one of Anderson's most touching and personal films. Shop Now Shop Now See the original post on YoutubeWhen we say Wilson can do it all, we mean it—and that includes fun/sad dog movies. Wilson's two most vital co-stars in Marley & Me are Jennifer Aniston and the adorable canine playing Marley. You know what you're going to get with this one, but damn if it's not effective! Shop Now Shop Now See the original post on YoutubeYou've got Wilson the comedy star. You've got Wilson the family movie star. You've got Wilson the animation voiceover star. And in Behind Enemy Lines, you get the chance to see Wilson as the action star, once again opposite the great Gene Hackman. Is this the greatest action movie ever made? No, it's really not—it's a pretty standard military thriller. But he can do it, and it's fun to see these two actors go at it. Shop Now Shop Now See the original post on YoutubeWith Midnight in Paris, you can add a bit of romance and magical realism to the Owen Wilson portfolio. This film, which won Woody Allen an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, follows a writer (Wilson) who visits Paris with his fiancée (Rachel McAdams) and her family, where he becomes taken to long walks by himself. On these walks, he eventually finds a way to transport to the Jazz Age, where he meets figures like Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and more. It's a touching, sweet, funny movie about rediscovering what's important to you and feeling alive—and Wilson proves to be one of Allen's great protagonists. Shop Now Shop Now See the original post on YoutubeWilson got to work with another fantastic modern director named Anderson in Inherent Vice, Paul Thomas Anderson's 2014 adaptation of Thomas Pynchon's novel of the same name. And keeping with the source material, Inherent Vice is a trippy, psychedelic neo-noir, with another stacked cast. The film follows Doc (Joaquin Phoenix), a private detective who is looking for numerous missing people—one of whom is a dude named Coy Harlingen (Wilson). Shop Now Shop Now See the original post on YoutubeOK. Not a movie. But we're going to make an exception on Wilson's list to include Loki, which got the actor into the Marvel world for the first time as time-travel authority Mobius M. Mobius. Wilson is a a natural fit in the role, because despite not looking much like himself—Mobius has short, light, almost gray hair, and a mustache—this role makes fantastic use of his feel-good go-with-the-flow vibe. Wilson fits perfectly with Tom Hiddleston (who plays Loki), and every scene with the two of them together is just a delight. "He's the best. He's actually the best," Hiddleston told Men's Health in a recent interview. "He's one of the great men. I love that guy." We're going to have to agree.

‘The Studio' Emmy predictions: How many nominations can it get?
Seth Rogen just might get to make a few acceptance speeches after all. While his on-camera doppelganger Matt Remick was desperate to be thanked from the Golden Globes stage, the cocreator/star/writer/director of Apple TV+'s The Studio may not have to worry. The freshman comedy may well prove to be the spoiler in the much-anticipated Emmys rematch between Hacks and The Bear — especially given its deep cast of A-list stars, the high-wire act of those oners, and Hollywood's love of celebrating itself. SEE'The Studio' episodes ranked, from worst to best With eight slots for best comedy, The Studio is assured of a nomination — the only question is whether it will unseat the reigning champ, Hacks. As of now The Studio is in second place on Gold Derby's predictions charts, but it's verrrrry close — and this time out, there's no debate about whether these contenders are comedies. Both bring on the laughs, both are a love letter to/satire of the industry, and both are undeniable hits. More from GoldDerby Kathryn Bigelow's Netflix Oscar hopeful gets explosive title: 'A House of Dynamite' Golden Globes set 2026 awards timeline, Best Podcast eligibility rules Jeremy Allen White is 'Born to Run' in the first trailer for Bruce Springsteen biopic 'Deliver Me From Nowhere' Apple With just 51 submissions, there are only five slots up for grabs, but Rogen is in solid second here, too — just behind SAG winner Martin Short. Either of them are likely going to eventually unseat two-time winner Jeremy Allen White — though the well-timed, though as yet-unseen-by-critics season four debut of The Bear on June 25 could prove a narrative shift for the FX series. But Rogen, who's been making the rounds on the FYC campaign trail, will undoubtedly hear his name called on July 15 for his bumbling, hapless studio executive. "It doesn't feel like I am having to shift gears between acting and writing and producing and directing," Rogen told Gold Derby. "As I'm acting, I'm also directing the scenes in a very subtle way, and I'm also rewriting the scene sometimes. And so to me, I actually think I feel the most comfortable when I'm doing all those things." SEESeth Rogen on taking big swings with 'The Studio': 'Are people just going to think this looks insane?' Who doesn't love Catherine O'Hara? She swept the TV awards cycle in 2020 for Schitt's Creek, and is a favorite among both audiences and her fellow actors. Which is why she's well-positioned for a double nomination this year — as supporting actress for The Studio, and for her guest turn on The Last of Us. (She can do drama! She can do comedy!) The only question is whether her costar and another potential double nominee can get in as well: Kathryn Hahn, who's in seventh place in our odds for supporting actress for The Studio as well as lead actress for Agatha All Along. Luckily, this category will have a deserving seven slots to fill, especially considering the competition from Hacks (Hannah Einbinder), The Bear (Liza Colon-Zayas), Abbott Elementary (Sheryl Lee Ralph, Janelle James), and Shrinking (Jessica Williams). (Costars Keyla Monterroso Mejia and Chase Sui Wonders were submitted in the category as well, but likely won't make the cut.) Apple TV+ Will we get to hear the magic words "Thank you, Sal Saperstein"? Ike Barinholtz stands in fourth place in our odds, comfortably secure in another seven-slot race; he, too, will have to fend off a two-time champion from The Bear, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, against the potential mid-summer momentum of Season 4. But the real surge may belong to Harrison Ford, another acting overachiever this season, who pulled double-duty with not only his well-hailed comedic turn in Shrinking but also weathered the winters of Taylor Sheridan's 1923 opposite another name familiar to award voters: Helen Mirren. The competition here also include Hacks star Paul W. Downs, Abbott Elementary's Tyler James Williams, and Ford's Shrinking costars Brett Goldstein and Michael Urie. SEE'Every actor likes to play a villain': Ron Howard on playing himself in 'The Studio' Apple TV+ Has one show ever swept an entire category? Unlikely, yes, but given The Studio's powerhouse lineup of cameos, it's not inconceivable that the majority of the six slots will go to at least two, if not three, of these names: Bryan Cranston, Martin Scorsese, Ron Howard, Dave Franco, David Krumholtz, Anthony Mackie, Nicholas Stoller, Zac Efron — and yes, Matt Belloni. (If only rival studio head Ted Sarandos had been submitted!) The race is Cranston's to lose — and Howard could even get nominated for playing himself twice. He's so good at playing himself, he did it also on Only Murders in the Building. 'I'm not quite that affable and fun-loving, nor am I the hard-ass in The Studio,' Howard told Gold Derby. 'I think I land somewhere in the middle.' Apple TV+ Name recognition always rules in this category, and The Studio's casting team worked their magic: Zoe Kravitz, Sarah Polley, Greta Lee, Olivia Wilde, and Rebecca Hall are all on the ballot. Currently ranked No. 7 in our prediction charts, Kravitz is the closest to breaking in to the magic six slots, with Polley and Wilde close behind. Years past have shown that single shows tend to sweep up the lion's share of nominations, so perhaps that will propel one or more of them to make the cut. But here again, they'll have to overtake buzzy performances from — you guessed it — Hacks (Julianne "Dance Mom" Nicholson) and The Bear (Jamie Lee Curtis). Not to mention Cynthia Erivo, who should get five slots alone for playing quintuplets on Poker Face. Apple Playing it safe — and strategic — The Studio submitted just one episode, "The Promotion," for writing, penned by Rogen, Evan Goldberg, Peter Huyck, Alex Gregory, and Frida Perez. It's the pilot that sets the tone, establishes the characters, and raises the stakes for the rest of the season — it's hard to imagine the show being nommed without the episode that put it on the map. As for the competition for the six slots, last season's winner, Hacks, too, also laid all its cards on just one episode: season 4's penultimate "A Slippery Slope," where all of the tensions that have been bubbling finally burst through. The Bear opted for two: "Napkins," Tina's backstory, and "Ice Chips," Natalie's labor episode. Strategy matters, here, too — and here again, The Studio went for its strongest directorial effort, "The Oner." Much ink, digital and otherwise, has been spilled over how the episode about a oner was shot as a oner, so suffice it to say that Rogen and Goldberg's directorial achievement here will not escape voters' notice. Vying for the other five slots: three episodes from The Bear which did earn two category noms last year and again, "A Slippery Slope" from Hacks. 'There were a few moments where I almost lost my mind, and then I reminded myself that I am the one who chose to do this,' Rogen said. 'Weird for me to get mad at someone for that. But it really was an amazing team effort.' SEESeth Rogen explains how 'The Studio' pulled off its one-shot episode But wait, there's more: With its intentionally retro feel, The Studio is a natural contender for production design, cinematography, casting, costumes, and even hairstyling. "Everyone else in the show is like a throwback and dresses in a nostalgic kind of way," Rogen said at the FYC panel for The Studio. "But the idea was that [Kathryn Hahn's character] would be on the crackling edge of fashion. ... The hair, though, became a whole thing I had nothing to do with. I just went along for the ride." Best of GoldDerby 'It was wonderful to be on that ride': Christian Slater talks his beloved roles, from cult classics ('Heathers,' 'True Romance') to TV hits ('Mr. Robot,' 'Dexter: Original Sin') Sam Rockwell on Frank's 'White Lotus' backstory, Woody Harrelson's influence, and going all in on 'this arc of Buddhist to Bad Lieutenant' Asif Ali and Saagar Shaikh admit they 'never had the audacity to realize' a show like 'Deli Boys' was possible Click here to read the full article.

'The Morning Show' star Mark Duplass opens up about battle with depression
Mark Duplass may be best known for playing Chip Black -- the fiercely loyal and often tightly wound executive producer on Apple TV+'s "The Morning Show" -- but offscreen, he's stepping into a different kind of spotlight as an advocate for mental health. The 48-year-old actor, writer and producer recently opened up about his decadeslong struggle with depression and anxiety, which he first addressed publicly in a candid Instagram post in October 2023. Alongside a smiling photo of himself, Duplass wrote at the time, "I have been struggling with anxiety and depression for most of my life…When I see pictures of myself like this one, I can see the fear and sadness behind the smile." In an interview with ABC News' Whit Johnson, which aired on " Good Morning America" Wednesday, Duplass said he didn't expect much from the post. "It's funny, I didn't really see it as something super personal," he recalled. "And I thought, you know, I'll just share this feeling I had. And it was really the response that people had, particularly a lot of men, that made me realize [that] men's mental health in particular might not [have] been as destigmatized as I thought it was." Duplass said his mental health challenges began in his teens, when he experienced panic attacks and tried to muscle through them alone. By his late 20s, he said it reached a breaking point. "I had no skills with which to deal with it," he said. "And I really did, I thought this might be it for me. I might never be normal again." Duplass said therapy and medication became pillars of his recovery, but he said managing his mental health involves more than just clinical treatment. "I learned that I got to get out of bed in the morning," he explained. "I need to make sure I'm sleeping eight to nine hours a night. I need to make sure I'm getting really good exercise. I need to make sure I'm eating healthy, and for me, and this isn't the same for everyone, I needed to demystify the medication." When asked whether he worried that opening up about his mental health journey could affect his career, Duplass admitted the thought crossed his mind. "I thought about it, you know. The last thing I would want is someone who's considering hiring me for a job to think, like, 'Oh man, what happens if he shows up and he's really depressed or anxious one day?'" he said. "I just want to say very clearly, like there is no shame in this. I was so scared to tell people what I was dealing with, and once I did, it deepened all of my relationships and helped my professional career, and that's something I didn't anticipate." Ironically, Duplass said that playing Chip -- a character often pushed to his limits -- feels like portraying a version of himself without the mental health tools on which he now relies. "Playing Chip on 'The Morning Show' is pure fun for me, because the good news is he's way more stressed out than I am," he said. "Chip is basically me without my mental health systems and the medication and what that would feel like." For anyone who is currently struggling with mental health issues, Duplass shared his message of hope, saying, "It's gonna be OK." "In season 2, I was having some mental health issues, and I said, 'Look, I'm struggling with a little bit of this.' And they were so wonderful and so accommodating," he said, adding, "You're probably feeling like there's no way I'm ever going to be normal again. My life is ruined, but that fog is a lie. It's not real. And you will rise above the fog, and it will lift."

Nakoa-Wolf Momoa and Ida Brooke join Dune 3 as Paul Atreides' twin children
Newcomer Nakoa-Wolf Momoa and Silo actress Ida Brooke have officially joined the cast of Dune 3, Deadline has confirmed. The two young stars are set to play Leto II and Ghanima Atreides, the twin children of Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) and Chani (Zendaya), expanding the next chapter of Denis Villeneuve's sci-fi epic based on Frank Herbert's acclaimed novels. This marks the big-screen debut of Nakoa-Wolf, son of actor Jason Momoa, who is also expected to return in Dune 3 as a resurrected version (ghola) of Duncan Idaho. Brooke, who has appeared in Apple TV+'s Silo and The Primrose Railway Children, is a rising talent making her franchise debut. Dune 3, from Warner Bros. and Legendary Entertainment, is expected to adapt Herbert's novel Dune Messiah, set 12 years after Dune. It follows Emperor Paul Atreides as he grapples with the consequences of his Fremen-led holy war. A formal cast announcement is still pending, though Chalamet and Zendaya are expected to return, and Robert Pattinson was previously reported to be in talks for a villain role. The Dune film series has been a massive success, earning over $1.1 billion globally and securing eight Oscars across two films. With Dune: Prophecy, the prequel Max series, already renewed for a second season, the Dune universe continues to expand on both big and small screens. No release date or official title for Dune 3 has been announced.
