BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) - Owen Wilson returned to the public eye Thursday night, making an appearance at the Los Angeles premiere of ''The Darjeeling Limited.''

Sporting a shaggy blond beard and a dark jacket, Wilson was joined by fellow cast mates Adrien Brody, Anjelica Huston, Jason Schwartzman and filmmaker Wes Anderson. It was among Wilson's first public appearances since a suicide attempt in late August.

Before the movie started, Anderson introduced Wilson, his longtime friend and collaborator, saying, ''I've never made a movie without him and I hope I never have to.''

The two have worked together on several films, including ''Bottle Rocket,'' ''Rushmore,'' and ''The Royal Tenenbaums,'' for which they were nominated for a best screenplay Oscar.

Wilson stars in ''The Darjeeling Limited,'' in which three brothers journey by train through India.

The premiere was held at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences headquarters.
