"Everytime I hear a story about Ewan McGregor, he always seems to be playing with himself, but this story takes it to new extremes. The Scottish "Star Wars" actor has committed to his next four movie roles, all in a single film - an untitled British comedy written and to be directed by fellow Scot Peter Capaldi reports RTE Interactive.

In the period film within a period film, Ewan McGregor will play a 1930s Hollywood star, his stand-in and both of the 18th-century characters they play in the movie they're shooting.

Capaldi's multi-layered script deals with an epic pic being shot in the 1930s about the Jacobite rebellion of 1745, in which Scottish forces loyal to Bonnie Prince Charlie tried to overthrow their English rulers. When the star goes missing, the producers trick an unassuming extra into filling his shoes, with surprising results." -- from Dark Horizons

They had me at "Ewan McGregor." The postmodern Jacobite stuff / Ealing-studio multiple roles is just the icing on the cake. :)

Ooooooh. Oooooh ooooh and ooooh.

It's like they're making films especially for the audience of me.

All it needs now is the part with Flora MacDonald and her maidservent. Mmmm....Ewan MacGregor in drag.....
