MoviesOnline sat down with award-winning Scottish actor Ewan McGregor to talk about his new movie, The Ghost Writer, a taut, suspenseful thriller from the Oscar-winning director of The Pianist. The film also stars Pierce Brosnan, Olivia Williams and Kim Catrall.
A gifted author hired to ghostwrite the memoirs of a controversial former British Prime Minister becomes a hunted man when he uncovers explosive secrets about the past. The Ghost (McGregor) senses something’s not right from the minute he gets the lucrative assignment to complete Adam Lang’s (Brosnan) autobiography. For starters, the previous ghostwriter, a longtime aide to the ex-Prime Minister, is dead – an apparent suicide victim. As Lang becomes engulfed in a scandal over his administration’s harsh counterterrorism tactics, The Ghost digs into the charismatic politician’s past, discovering clues that he may be hiding something far more shocking than the current allegations against him.
