In an interview with the AV Club website (via Far Out Magazine), the American actor revealed that when asked what his favorite film of his career is, the answer is easy. This is his feature film debut.
He said:
“I always say Pure Adrenaline (1996), almost as a reflex, because it was my first film, because it was with the Wes and my brothers and started it all.”
Pure Adrenaline also marked the directorial debut of Wes Andersonwith whom Wilson attended college and worked several times throughout his career. The two were even nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for The Eccentric Tenenbaums (2001), whose cast also featured Owen.
However, it is the films seen by some as ugly ducklings of the partnership between the two that Wilson names among his favorites. He further highlighted:
“I loved it Life at Sea with Steve Zissou (2004) e Trip to Darjeeling (2007). Even these films that didn’t do so well at the box office find the right people to embrace and love them.”
