Imagine: Ewan as Lennon

Competing with Pete Postlethwaite and Harvey Keitel for the title of busiest actor in the biz, Ewan Mc Gregor is in the running to take the lead in the forthcoming John Lennon biopic. The Trainspotting star, currently filming the Star Wars prequel and soon to be playing Nick Leeson, may play the former Beatle in a film that is being observed by another Mop Top, Paul McCartney, with "cynical interest". This may be because the film will portray Yoko Ono, blamed by many for the band's break-up, in a very positive light.
