I really don't understand while people seem to think Ewan's career has been on the skids since Star Wars. Post-Star Wars work includes not only Beginners, but also The Ghost Writer, I Love You Philip Morris, Young Adam, Men Who Stare at Goats (which yes, I will defend vigorously), Down with Love, Iago and Sky Masterson on the London stage, and 2 globe-spanning trips. So Deception was trashy fluff…at least it was simple, watchable fluff which is more than I can say for the garbage we get from Johnny Depp, and yet no one ever laments his career with the same condescension as they do Ewan's. I wish that narrative would end already! He's a brilliant, criminally underrated actor and deserves way more love than he gets.

I'm really excited about this Franzen/Baumbach project. I love Franzen's writing, whilst Baumbach's The Squid and the Whale is a minor masterpiece and suggests the director is a perfect fit for this adaptation. McGregor's continued career resurrection is just an added bonus.

I hope Ewan McGregor does more leading roles in American mainstream movies from now on.
