There are a number of new and exciting movies coming out over the course of the next few months and one of the movies that we are very much looking forward to seeing, is the new Owen Wilson movie No Escape. Owen did a lot of his own stunts in No Escape and the actor has admitted that he was quite scared about doing some of them.

Wilson was chatting to the New York Posts Page Six column, when he explained, "It was kind of scary doing some of the stuff with jumping from roof to roof. We're on a harness, but there's still part of your brain that doesn't want you to just run off the side of a building . . . You always wonder, well, 'What if [the harness] is a little frayed or something?'"
As well as talking about doing his own stunts in No Escape, Owen Wilson also went on to talk about what it was like to play a character who goes from a regular guy, to becoming a hero. Owen remembered the time a Medal of Honor winner gave a speech at his school, giving him an idea of what it takes to do such heroic things.

Wilson added, "Ordinary people are capable of really heroic things if they're put into an intense, demanding situation. He didn't really have time to think, and acted. Reading about these guys in France on the train subduing that terrorist -- it sounded like the same . . . like they didn't really have time to think about it. They just did it."
No Escape is out today (August 26) in the US, and will then hit the big screen on September 4 in the UK.
