The film, which as of now doesn't have a title, will have McGregor playing a Hollywood star from the 1930s as well as his stand-in and two of the characters from the movie the star's acting in. Sounds confusing? Add in the fact the movie within the movie is set in the 18th century and it's enough to make your head spin.
Ewan McGregor recently told Variety,, "I have wanted to work with Peter forever, and this project could not be a better film to do together. He has written a compelling, complex, original, sweet, funny and eccentric movie, and for me the challenge of playing several roles in it is most exciting."
Filming on the untitled comedy will begin early next year. Ewan McGregor will next be seen onscreen in the thriller, "Stay," co-starring Naomi Watts and Ryan Gosling. McGregor's currently busy onstage playing Sky Masterson in the West End production of "Guys and Dolls."
