Scotsman Ewan McGregor was distributed by the Spanish director Juan Antonio Bayona, along with Naomi Watts and Geraldine Chaplin in the drama “The Impossible” a Summit Entertainment Company production, confessing that their editor Seven sighed and wept like a child when he read the script by signed Sergio G. Sánchez because he remembered the natural disaster from December 2004 when an earthquake in the Indian Ocean triggered a tsunami in which 230,000 people lost their lives in 14 countries.
The star of movies “Trainspotting“, “Beginners” and “Perfect Sense” get in the skin of a father who seeks his missing family from natural disasters and revealed that one of the reasons due to which he agreed to sign the contract was an opportunity to interpret for the first time in career as a parent, especially since in real life has four daughters, two biological and two adopted.
Ewan McGregor (40 years) said that he was reluctant in the first phase on the project who moved him until to tears, with the impression that will press a burden too heavy on his shoulders if he agrees to take the lead Men of “The Impossible“, but reading the script has not been able to refuse a role that touched the most intimate strings of the soul:
“I was very cautious about this movie. It is a story about something terrible which happened in the recent history, a disaster where many people lost their lives and the idea of making a movie on this subject press as a burden on my shoulders. But I never explored the quality of the father on the big screen and I’m a father about 15 years, so I agreed to read the script. I could not control my tears. For this reason I think it is okay to do the movie because it is about the human spirit and what makes us vibrant”.
