Matthew McConaughey has signed on to star in ‘Tropic Thunder‘, replacing Owen Wilson, who backed out after a suicide attempt last month.

Wilson dropped out of the DreamWorks movie after an apparent suicide attempt last month.

“Tropic Thunder,” which is filming in Hawaii, stars Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr., Nick Nolte, Bill Harder and Steve Coogan.  Stiller is also directing.

What? No hot co-star actress for McConaughey to hook up with on the set?  This will have to change.
