| EWAN JOINS A-LIST GANG Feb 12 2003 Rick Fulton Exclusive EWAN McGREGOR has officially made it on to the Hollywood A-list. The Star Wars and Moulin Rouge star broke off from filming his latest movie, Big Fish, in Alabama, to fly to New York for a Vanity Fair cover photoshoot with Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson and Ed Norton. The special Hollywood issue hits news-stands in the US on March 7, in time for the Academy Awards on March 23. There's no doubt the Scot won't be up for an Oscar for Best Actor as Obi- Wan Kenobi in Attack Of The Clones, but the magazine cover shows that he's fast becoming the hot new male lead of choice. His latest film, Down By Love, stars Renee Zellweger, who has just been nominated for best actress in Chicago. The romantic comedy, which pays homage to the Rock Hudson-Doris Day movies of the Sixties, features a soundtrack of songs linked to the era in which the movie is set. Source: Daily Record |

| Fish story may hook us Louis B. Hobson, Special to the Free Press 2003-06-08 Ewan McGregor promises that Tim Burton's new movie, Big Fish, will be quite a catch this Christmas. "It's a sea fable. Albert Finney is this old sea-salt storyteller who's dying. He's never really connected with his son, who's played by Billy Crudup," says McGregor, who is currently in Australia filming the final chapter of the new Star Wars trilogy. "To try to understand his father, the son gets his dad to tell him some of his tall tales. The audience gets to see them unfold and I play the young Albert Finney in those stories." McGregor says, "This is not a Sleepy Hollow kind of Tim Burton movie. It's not special effects-heavy, but it is a funny, sad, outrageous kind of movie." Burton assembled quite an all-star supporting cast, including Jessica Lange as Finney's wife, his own girlfriend Helena Bonham Carter as all the women in the tall tales and Danny DeVito, Robert Guillaume, Alison Lohman and Steve Buscemi in cameo roles. McGregor says once he finishes Star Wars: Episode III, he could begin work on Jodie Foster's long-delayed project Flora Plum. Set in the 1930s, Claire Danes would play a street urchin who is befriended by a circus freak. He falls in love with her, but she soon becomes a major star. McGregor will play the circus freak, a role that belonged to Russell Crowe for a brief time two years ago. "Flora Plum is apparently happening right after Star Wars, but Jodie says it's not fully green-lit yet," McGregor says. Source: Ewan News |
| After two weeks in theaters, Down With Love has started disappearing from many cinemas, thanks to the questionable marketing "genius" of Twentieth Century Fox. In order to make room for the usual summer blockbusters: X-men, The Matrix, Daddy Day Care, Finding Nemo and Bruce Almighty, cinemas have dropped Down With Love. |
