Matthew McConaughey has replaced Owen Wilson in Ben Stiller's Tropic Thunder. McConaughey's role amounts to an uncredited cameo alongside ensemble cast members Stiller, Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr., Nick Nolte, Bill Hader and Steve Coogan.
Stiller and Owen Wilson agreed that Wilson would leave the project after attempting suicide last month.
The film is about a group of actors who gather on a remote island to shoot a big-budget war movie and are forced to become the soldiers they are portraying.
