In the latest from filmmaker Rodrigo Garcia, LAST DAYS IN THE DESERT, Ewan McGregor plays opposite himself. Playing Jesus Christ and Satan as well, the film finds Jesus on a spiritual mission. One where he meets a family who he attempts to help as they face their own demons. It is a strong performance from Ewan, as well as Tye Sheridan who portrays a frustrated son looking for an escape from his troubled family.
Recently at the junket for the film, we spoke with Mr. McGregor about taking on this role and being a part of smaller films as opposed to blockbusters. He is an incredible talent – as well as an incredibly nice guy – and it's great to see the actor taking risky turns such as this. We also spoke to Tye who discussed taking on the role and working on location in a desert landscape. If you are looking for something vastly different from the usual summer flicks, check out LAST DAYS IN THE DESERT in limited release this Friday.
