A Trio of Treats for Ewan McGregor Fans

Yesterday it was reported that, Scottish born actor and household name Ewan McGregor expressed his anger to cinemas about overpricing and putting people off attending the pictures, as well as his hatred off people chewing noisy food and sweets during films! 

He currently has three projects set to hit our screens both this year and in 2013:

First of all, McGregor has recently finished new movie “The Impossible” which will be released in America later this year. The film is based on the horror of the 2004 tsunami in Thailand where a family become caught up in the mayhem along with thousands of strangers on what was intended to be a winter vacation in the sun. McGregor plays Henry, the husband to Maria (Naomi Watts) with writer Sergio G. Sánchez and director Juan Antonio Bayona.

Next on the agenda is “Jack the Giant Killer” which is a modern day fairy tale about an ancient war which is unwittingly restarted by a young farmhand who accidently unseals a gateway between the world of giants and their own. A battle between the two forces quickly resumes as the giants try to win back land form Earth that they lost centuries before. The character of Jack is forced to fight against creatures, which he thought only existed in legend, to save his fellow people. In this fantasy, adventure film, directed by Bryan Singer, McGregor plays a character called Elmont and it is to be released in 2013.

The third and final project is a TV drama about a dysfunctional family with three generations meeting for their last Christmas gathering in the family home. Ewan plays the role of Chip in “The Corrections” (2013) and stars alongside the likes of Anthony Hopkins and Maggie Gyllenhaal in the Midwestern household.
