Not as solid as it should be RAMA is back. Ewan McGregor ’s feature directorial debut, AMERICAN PASTORAL , is a decent effort at best, but at the end of the day, this feels more fitting as television series on HBO rather than a movie. This is a film that has enough shocker in its dialogue to create further conversations but you can’t help feeling that so many things were left out that should’ve been kept instead. Based on Philip Roth’s novel, scripted by John Romano, the story is set in 1968 where Ewan McGregor’s character, a hardworking man named Seymour, witnesses his middle class life fall apart as the community is stricken by racial tension and his daughter, Merry (Dakota Fanning) gets influenced by radical political views that threatens to destroy their family. For a book that was published in the ‘90s and a story that’s set in the ‘60s, Philip Roth’s AMERICAN PASTORAL sure resonates with today’s societal and political climate, especially the anger and the hatred that y

FX's Emmy Award-winning Fargo continues to impress with the announcement that Ewan McGregor has been signed to join the show in not one, but two roles. Said to be the focus of the third season of the show, which is supposed to take place closer to the present than either of the two preceding years did, the actor has been cast as brothers Emit and Ray Stussey. Says the network of those roles, “Emmit Stussy is the Parking Lot King of Minnesota. A handsome, self-made, real estate mogul and family man, Emmit sees himself as an American success story. His slightly younger brother, Ray Stussy, on the other hand is more of a cautionary tale. Balding, pot-bellied, Ray is the kind of guy who peaked in high school. Now a parole officer, Ray has a huge chip on his shoulder about the hand he’s been dealt, and he blames his brother, Emmit, for his misfortunes.” Little more is known about the third season. McGregor, of course, is known for his roles in the Trainspotting films (the second of

According to THR Danny Boyle  will be directing the sequel to the film that cemented his career back in 1996. Tri-Star has chosen life, chosen a job … and has chosen Trainspotting 2 . Moving fast to a preemptive deal, the Sony label has landed the package, worldwide rights included, to the sequel of the seminal 1996 film with Danny Boyle back in the director’s chair. Also returning to the film project are the original principal cast, including Ewan McGregor, Jonny Lee Miller, Ewen Bremner and Robert Carlyle . John Hodge, who wrote the script for the original adaptation, is also back as writer. Sony Pictures co-chair Tom Rothman leaned on his longstanding relationship with Boyle to make the deal happen. Rothman has been a supporter of the filmmaker since 1997’s A Life Less Ordinary, when the former was an executive at Fox. More importantly, Rothman was the CEO of Fox Searchlight, running the division he founded when it released Boyle’s movies, ranging from 28 Days Later (200

With its development troubles – including the loss of director Lynn Ramsay and star Michael Fassbender early in the process – now seemingly behind it, Natalie Portman -starring Western drama Jane Got A Gun faces its next challenge: getting bums on seats. Watch the trailer after the Jump... The film’s story finds Portman as Jane Hammond, shocked to see her estranged outlaw hubby Bill “Ham” Hammond ( Noah Emmerich ) stagger home full of bullets after being double-crossed by his gang. With the criminals (led by Ewan McGregor’s Colin McCann) on their way to finish the job, Jane decides to reach out to sharp-shootin’ old flame Dan Frost (Joel Edgerton) for assistance in defending her home. But as you’ll see from the trailer (and we’d add a spoiler alert here for good measure), it won’t be quite as simple as that, with Jane’s daughter Kate kidnapped by McCann and even Dan’s allegiance wavering after an offer to share in the bounty for Bill’s capture. Still, Jane shows herself to

“All the four main actors want to come back and do it,” the director tells Deadline ’s Pete Hammond, who caught up with Boyle at the Telluride after-party for the “work-in-progress” screening of Steve Jobs with Michael Fassbender in the title role. “Now it is only a matter of getting all their schedules together which is complicated by two of them doing American TV series,” Boyle says. Prior to the first-ever public screening of Steve Jobs, Boyle received a Telluride Medallion for his body of work, clips of which included a certain vivid public toilet-diving scene from Trainspotting . The long-anticipated and much-speculated sequel would follow by at least 20 years the ground-breaking 1996 Miramax release of Channel 4’s account about the grimly, grittily entertaining misadventures of drug addicts in Edinburgh (but film was shot mostly in Glasgow). The original was written by John Hodge, based on Irvine Welsh’s novel. Boyle also told Deadline that Hodge’s script for what they’re c

The slick caper comedy Mortdecai is the perfect solution to the onslaught of January bores. Review by Matt Cummings In Mortdecai , Johnny Depp plays the titular 'hero' Charlie, a sheltered and privileged art dealer/collector who's forced to join an MI-5 investigation to find a priceless painting and the Nazi account numbers on its back. Charlie would rather sip a fine Sherry than lift a finger, but that's not what is infuriating his wife Johanna (Gweneth Paltrow) it's the new curly mustache he's been cultivating. Soon, both of them are off on an art-heist adventure, courtesy of their friend from MI-5 Martland (Ewan McGregor) who holds unrequited love for Johanna. With the Russians and an international terrorist at his heels, Charlie and his man-servant Jock (Paul Bettany) must root out the painting's location using Chalrie's unique style and rather questionable talents. Critics are killing this one because they think Depp and company hav
