My mate is a manager in a cinema here in Glasgow Where Ewan McGregor is presently filming another film...

Subject: A pretty damn cool morning...


So George Lucas decides to send an advance pre-censor print of Episode II to London for Ewan McGregor to watch.



Ewan is in Glasgow filming. He goes to the UGC in Glasgow to see a couple of films and I get to meet him. He phones up a few days later and asks if we can show the film for him to save him a trip to London.



So a rep. from 20th Century Fox flies to Glasgow with the print. He brings the film in to us yesterday in 7 parts. They are all assembled and checked but the film isn't allowed to be run through a projector.



The chief projectionist and I watch over everything to make sure all is perfect.



He takes the last 2 parts back to his room at 1 Devonshire Gardens and literally sleeps with them.



He returns at 7am this morning for a run through of the film to check its perfect before Ewan arrives at 10.



And ... wait for it ...



Asks if the projectionist and I will watch the film in the hall to ensure everything is ok.

I hate cocky people ... but getting to see Episode II in a hall by yourself (the projectionist went back to the booth) with the sound level at full (which we aren't allowed to do with customers) before any further cuts are made and before Ewan McGregor himself has seen it. All adds up to a pretty damn cool morning.



Iain.



And by the way, its amazing. 20 times better than Episode I and easily sits up there with the first three. Its going be huge.
