Ewan the Helmer

So Ewan McGregors not just going to star in the adaptation of Philip RothAmerican Pastoral.

The guys going to direct the gosh darn thing, too.

Indeed, the actor has stepped up and taken on the behind-the-camera task now that the original helmer, Phillip Noyce, has taken a bow. This will mark his directorial debut.

Jennifer Connelly is still on board, as is Dakota Fanning.

American Pastoral will concern itself with the story of how a successful Jewish American businessman’s (McGregor) picture perfect upper middle class life shatters after his daughter commits a deadly act of political terrorism.
