| After
the arrivals ended I was asked if I wanted to go
to the "after party" over at Spagos. On
normal circumstances I would obviously jump to the
opurtunity to mingle with celebs and VIP's but I
had prior engagements that I could not miss even
for Obi-Wan and Queen Amidala.
To
my surprise our "friend" that invited
us to the after party send us in this e-mail in
where she recounts a conversation that she had with
McGregor at Spagos:
Hey
Robert
You
really screwed up by not going to the Closer premiere
after party, food wasn't great , typical yuppie
celebrity atmosphere but Ewan showed up, he looked
great! Ewan and Natalie spoke and mingled for a
while and Ewan and Clive also had a drink together.
I was a bit nervous about going up to Natalie and
talking to her, she had a good size entourage. Ewan
in the other hand was talking it up with plenty
of people so I walk up to him and told him that
I was a big fan and that I was really looking forward
in seeing him in his upcoming movie The Island.
He mentioned that the Island is a great atmosphere
and that he is totally captivated by Scarlett Johansson
acting abilities and beauty. He also mentioned that
this film has such a large talented ensemble cast
that he feels quite excited to be working with Michael
Bay.
Of
course I had to ask if he has seen any footage from
Revenge of the Sith, he mentioned that he likes
seeing his film when they are totally completed
and not any other way. He did see the trailer and
was quite happy in the way it looked, he joked "I
don't remember being around any Volcanoes."
I asked him if he thought that this last Star Wars
film will redeem any short falls that Episode 1
and 2 might have. "You have to see these films
as one big story, the first sets up the second and
the second one sets up the third. The third film
is by far the most challenging, Hayden and I go
at each other for a such bloody long time but of
course I win", smiles McGregor. When asked
if he regrets being involved with Star Wars McGregor
states: " Absolutely not, this has been a fun
ride and I have met plenty of good friends but like
any ride it has to end." I was able to ask
one last question which of course was about James
Bond, would he be interested in doing a 007 film?
He answered by looking at me and asking "Are
you working for Aint it Cool news or something?
If you are going to post it on the web then of course
I would love to be Bond but if you really want to
know the truth .......I won't say, I love rumors."
