In the last few weeks, you watched trailers for movies starring Ewan McGregor and trailers for movies starring Emily Blunt. But the two together? Oh, that was just a dream. But today, our brief national nightmare is over: witness the trailer for Salmon Fishing in Yemen, a rom-com-dram that stars both McGregor and Blunt. McGregor plays a fisheries expert who seeks to introduce salmon fishing to Yemen, while Blunt is the no nonsense government official who brings him to the country. Predictable hijinks ensue, and the two fall in love.

How fast would you fall in love if the world was about to end? You'd either hole up in your house, stocking food and water and massaging your shotgun, or you'd be out there in the world trying to do it as much as possible. That's how the trailer for Perfect Sense figures, sort of. It starts off like a typical romantic drama, with attractive boy (Ewan McGregor) meeting attractive girl (Eva Green) and flirting a bunch. Can you believe that two perfectly telegenic people could fall for each other? I know, me neither.

Ewan McGregor–star of the recent indie smash Beginners–will make his debut as a TV regular as Chip, in HBO's adaptation of Johnathan Franzen's middle class epic novel, The Corrections. This will be McGregor's first major television role since a brief appearance on ER all the way back in 1997. 

Tomorrow, British actor Nicholas Hoult's pristine visage will sweep across movie screens worldwide as budding genius Hank McCoy in X-Men: First Class. But as every good fanboy and girl knows, Hoult will mutate before our eyes into the monstrous creature known as Beast (proof is in the trailers, kids). But before those lagoon-blue eyes and razor-edge cheekbones vanish under bytes of CGI and mounds of prosthetic fur, check out Hoult on the cover of our June/July Outsiders issue, looking every bit the dapper young man he's become since first melting our hearts in 2002's About a Boy. But that's not all, folks.

"Here's the thing about fame: you'll never wake up with enough of it."

It’s just been announced that I Love You Phillip Morris, the long-delayed indie comedy starring Ewan McGregor and Jim Carrey as prison lovers, will finally see a U.S. release. The French-made film originally appeared at Sundance in 2009, but its release has been continually pushed back due to fairly boring legal battles over distribution. But it seems everyone somehow came to an agreement this afternoon—the film will be released nationwide on December 3.

Want to watch Jim Carrey make out with Ewan McGregor this summer? Too bad! According to an exclusive report by THR, Esq., "A California District Court judge has issued a preliminary injunction preventing the U.S. release of the indie comedy" I Love You Philip Morris. Is this long-delayed movie ever going to come out? What's the deal? The film was produced by EuropaCorp, a French movie studio that licensed the domestic distribution rights to Consolidated Pictures Group and, to make a long story short, consolidated allegedly failed to deliver the full $3 million advance it agreed to pay EuropaCorp. It's all very technical and drawn out and lawyer-y, but, regardless, 'I Love You Phillip Morris' will not be making its July debut as planned.

I Love You Phillip Morris - “This really happened. It really did.” So read the subtitles at the beginning of I Love You Phillip Morris, informing the audience that the mind-boggling exploits of protagonist Steven Russell (Jim Carrey)—con man, embezzler, impersonator and frequent jail-breaker—are all true. But 15 minutes into the film, when the camera cuts away from Russell, a seemingly cheerful family man, dedicated Christian and potluck-frequenting police officer, to Russell euphorically sodomizing another man while chortling in voice-over, “I’m gay, gay, gay!” those subtitles take on new meaning. Forget the neutered "Will & Grace". Forget the tortured Brokeback Mountain. This is a movie starring Hollywood heavies Carrey and Ewan McGregor (playing the love of Russell’s life, Phillip Morris) as unapologetic, unconflicted homosexuals who like to screw. This really happened. It really did. If neither Carrey nor the film is plausible in the more earnest moments, well, it’s the movie’s sexual politics, not its weaknesses, that will have everyone talking.—Willa Paskin

We loved early Ewan McGregor in films like Velvet Goldmine and Trainspotting, but in recent years, it's hard to overlook his decision to appear in such fine films as the Star Wars prequels, Angels & Demons and Amelia. Now, he's joined the cast of a Madonna-helmed period flick, and we're a little scared.
