Luke Wilson ?
Does anybody know what happened to Luke Wilson / why he isn’t in the recurring cast members anymore ? I thought he was really good (and better than his brother) in most Wes Anderson movies… his scene in Royal Tenenbaums was especially touching
Owen and Wes were (and are) close friends. The other Wilson brothers were sort of just along for the ride, and weren’t close with Wes like Owen was. As it stands, Wes has the clout to cast basically whoever he wants, and I guess Luke and Andrew aren’t at the top of that list.
That said, I do miss seeing Luke in Anderson’s movies, and hope it happens again, eventually.
You can say the same thing about his friends back home who are no longer appearing in the films, Kumar's son, Robert Tenenbaum, the dude who played Rupert the DJ in Rushmore, the dude who played tennis against Richie in Royal Tenenbaums. Those are all the ones I can remmeber right now, but there was a big switch it seemed between Tenenbaums and Life Aquatic (when Wally Wooladrsky and Noah Baumbauch started getting involved)
I think it might have to do with tastes and styles. But I’m just speculating…
