Film Details & Notes: What do we know about American Pastoral?
- As director/actor Ewan McGregor told VanityFair.com: "I have dreamt of directing a feature for the last 15 years and never found the 'right' story. I wanted to direct, not for the sake of being a director, but because there was a story I HAD to tell. Well American Pastoral gave me everything I was looking for. I was incredibly lucky that I had Lakeshore's trust and incredible talent in front of and behind the camera to make Roth's story the film I thought it should be. The creative collaboration with the cast and the crew was as thrilling as I had hoped it would be. I was a very happy man making this film and it is the film I wanted it to be."
- Ewan McGregor will make his directorial feature film debut.
- Based on the novel "American Pastoral" by Philip Roth.
