Biography
Born and reared in Dallas, Owen Wilson raised enough hell in high school to get expelled from one institution in tenth grade, but he managed to attend college at the University of Texas in Austin and graduate in 1991. Wilson's often works with Wes Anderson who he met at Austin. Their first film together, was called Bottle Rocket, which was released in theaters in 1996. That same year, Wilson also began a fertile association with actor/director Ben Stiller, appearing in one memorable scene as a smooth, ill-fated date in Stiller's black comedy The Cable Guy. Wilson has now worked with Ben Stiller in a number of movies. The first time I noticed Owen Wilson was in the movie Anaconda. He also has a brother that is an actor name Luke Wilson, his most famous movie is probably Old School.

Cars
Release Date: November 4th, 2005
Cast: Paul Newman, Richard Petty, Owen Wilson, Bonnie Hunt, John Ratzenberger, Dan Whitney; other voice cast not announced yet.
Premise: (4/22/02) Pixar has announced it as being "a high-octane adventure about a collection of classic automobiles-turned-'toons revving things up on historic Route 66." Expect the cars to be talking, but it's not yet known if they will be able to talk to their human passengers (or, for that matter, if there will be human passengers), but my guess is that there will be "drivers", but they won't know the cars can talk to each other (basically, the Toy Story thing). (3/12/04) Although the exact details of the premise aren't yet known, one detail that has surfaced is the issue of the humans in this movie. The answer? There won't be any; this movie takes place in a world of cars, and cars only.
