Four roles in a movie for McGregor

Ewan McGregor is set to play four roles in a new, as-yet-untitled comedy.

Variety reports that the comedy is a film within a film, with McGregor playing a 1930s Hollywood star, his stand-in and the two 18th Century characters they play in the movie they are shooting.

The film tells the story of a movie being made about the Jacobite rebellion and what happens when the star goes missing and the makers turn to his stand-in.

Peter Capaldi, who helmed the film 'Strictly Sinatra', will be in the director's chair.

The film is scheduled to begin shooting early next year.

Invictus

If you're after a feelgood boost for February, then this is the ticket to buy.

Astro Boy

It won't stick in the memory like, say, a 'Monsters, Inc' or 'Lilo and Stitch', but 'Astro Boy' is a fairly quick 90 minutes.

Youth in Revolt

Some brilliant moments but sadly, for a film about losing one's virginity, it doesn't go all the way.
