The underachieving streak ended with a film career that includes hits like '05's Wedding Crashers. Wilson's quick wit endeared him to costars such as Vince Vaughn. ("Owen's the best," he told PEOPLE at the Nov. 3 Fred Claus premiere in L.A. "He'll be fine.") David Dobkin, who directed Wilson in Shanghai Knights and Crashers, says Owen is "doing great" and reveals they have been "discussing the possibility" of a Crashers sequel. Despite dropping out of a cameo role in buddy Ben Stiller's Tropic Thunder (he was replaced by Matthew McConaughey), Wilson's rep confirms that two upcoming films–including a comedy with Jennifer Aniston–are "options" at this point, but won't comment further on his career prospects. "He's not exactly thinking about his next project right now," says a family insider. "But there's been discussion of stuff he'll do down the road. He'll be around."
That's exactly what friends want to hear. And if his Halloween costume is any indication, perhaps the healing truly has begun. "He came as Owen Wilson," says a fellow guest. "He looked really, really good. He looked at peace." By Alexis Chiu. K.C.
