Ewan McGregor will star opposite Anne Hathaway in an untitled adventure film directed by David Robert Mitchell for Warner Bros. Ewan McGregor, who is known for working in the TV series Obi-Wan Kenobi, has signed on to act opposite Anne Hathaway in Warner Bros Motion Picture Group’s presently unannounced new picture from David Robert Mitchell, the director of It Follows and Under the Silver Lake. The film’s plot is unknown, but it has previously been described as a ‘thrilling ride’ that will be shot in Imax. Mitchell will direct from his own original story and co-produce with JJ Abrams and Hannah Minghella for Bad Robot, as well as Matt Jackson of Jackson Pictures. Jake Weiner and Chris Bender from Good Fear Content will serve as executive producers. Sheila Walcott and Zach Hamby are in charge of the project for Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group (WBMPG).
McGregor recently reprised his role as Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi in Disney+’s Emmy-nominated limited series by the same name. He previously earned an Emmy for his starring performance in Netflix’s Halston and has also appeared in films such as Birds of Prey, Doctor Sleep and Christopher Robin. He will shortly appear in the Showtime and Paramount Global miniseries A Gentleman in Moscow, which he also executive produces.
His other films coming up for release include Niclas Larsson’s TIFF dramedy Mother Couch, in which he stars opposite Rhys Ifans, Taylor Russell and Ellen Burstyn; and Bleeding Love, the SXSW-premiering drama he produced and starred in, opposite daughter Clara McGregor. McGregor is represented by UTA and attorney Robert Offer of Sloane, Offer, Weber & Dern.
