Ewan McGregor and his uncle, Denis Lawson on the set of The Last Word

First, you can watch video of Ewan McGregor on the Glasgow set of The Last Word from yesterday's shoot. Just head on over here to check it out. There is also footage of the rehearsal here.

There is also news that Ewan and his uncle Denis Lawson will finally appear on the big screen together in The Last Word. You may remember that his uncle was the one who inspired Ewan to become an actor after watching him in Star Wars as a child. Denis Lawson played X pilot Wedge Antilles in the original Star Wars movies. In The Last Word, they'll play a chef and a restaurant owner.

Denis stars in the new season of Criminal Justice which started today, October 5 on BBC 1 in the UK. Denis discusses what it's like to finally act alongside Ewan:

"Ewan's been moaning that he wants to do this for years, since he was about nine. And I've always wanted to act with him, too, having only directed him in the past.

"So it's really nice that this has come round. I've directed Ewan in theatre, but we've never acted together on anything.

"We have quite a lot of scenes together because our characters not only work together, but they're friends out of work too. So it really is a big deal for us."

"People ask if there's any family tension with that sort of arrangement, but that couldn't be further from the truth.

"We don't operate like that. It's all very relaxed. We approach each other very much on a level playing field. We work together pretty seamlessly, with the same sort of energy and humour.

"We've been out a few times after filming, and it's nice to spend time in Glasgow again.

"Ewan was on board with this film first. I've no idea whether the director always had me in mind for it, but I didn't need persuading." [The Daily Record]
