Obi-Wan to star in Army Movie
[Wednesday, February 21st, 2001]Ewan McGregor has been confirmed by co-star Jason Isaacs that he is going to star in Ridley Scotts "Black Hawk Down". He revealed this info at the Empire Awards a couple of days ago. The basic plot of the film is about American troops caught in Mogadishu in 1993. Heres Jason Isaacs interview with Empire Online:
'I've just been doing Boot Camp in Fort Bening Georgia with the real US Rangers for a week,' said Jason, who was sporting a harsh hairdo. 'That accounts for the shaved head.'
'It was too tough, frankly,' he told us. 'It's a great thing to have done, in retrospect. But I can't pretend that in the middle of it, I didn't wish I was here. The first two days was fun, and the last day was fun - it was just the time in between when you thought "When is this ever going to end?"'
Asked who his fellow cast members were, Isaacs told us; 'The Ewans are in it - McGregor and Bremner, Ioan Gruffudd is in it - although he wasn't at boot camp because he's playing a pilot, Orlando Bloom, Matthew Marsden, Tom Hardy. I'm bound to forget someone's name and they'll kill me!'
