Luke Wilson is one of those guys it's difficult to see onscreen too much. He he's the guy who turns up all over the place, but never outstays his welcome. With a rash of cameos and gemeriffic bit parts to his name (a Bjorn Borg-alike in The Royal Tenenbaums, as Orville Wright in Around The World In 80 Days, or having his arms lopped off in Anchorman), there's no denying he's a welcome and amiable presence. Prepare to be happy then, as we casually inform you that we'll be seeing considerably more of Luke by the end of the year. First and foremost, he's signed on for Super Ex - the new film to be directed by Ivan Reitman. The story centres on a guy who after his recent break-up from a control-freak girlfriend, discovers not only is the former partner a super hero, but she's using her powers to make his life difficult. The script is from Don Payne, who's one of the writers on The Simpsons. He's also one of the writers on the US version of Men Behaving Badly
