Wow, That IS Unlucky. Unlucky With a Capital U. (Thanks, Tim)


It's been a bad few years for Ewan McGregor. His only credit in two years has been a cameo. Early this year things began to look up after he was cast as James Bond, but he was fired within the first week of shooting. To make up for it, But Alas Pictures cast him in a top four role in the upcoming blockbuster "unlucky." How apropos, as he has now been fired from that set as well.

"He has a real problem," stated one crew member who requested anonymity. "I mean, we have yet to see him sober, and it's been weeks."

The Scotsman's failure to arrive on set in workable condition has forced director McG to fire him. And since the movie is being released in a week, the role has been severely trimmed.

Who's the replacement? No one is telling. The role was recast with someone who has worked with But Alas Pictures before, but it's now classified as a cameo. So you'll have to go see "unlucky" to find out!

In related news, Bryce Dallas Howard is leaving the HTG Armory to work on the film. She joins Elizabeth Banks, Bruce Willis, Jeremy Renner, Chiwetel Ejiofor, John Hawkes, Lucian, Ethan Suplee and Paul Sorvino in the all-star cast.

"unlucky" is in buzz now, and will be out next week!
