lazypadawanRemember the story from a month or two ago about Ewan McGregor supposedly telling a kid on his sick bed that the SW films were the worst he's ever worked on?
Well, ContactMusic enters the fray with this inflammatory headline:
JACKSON SLAMS MCGREGOR'S STAR WARS RANT
And here's Samuel L. Jackson's alleged beatdown of his former co-star:
Actor SAMUEL L. JACKSON is baffled by STAR WARS co-star EWAN MCGREGOR's recent attack on the sci-fi franchise - insisting his role was a dream come true. McGregor claimed the prequels were the worst films he has ever made, but Jackson can't understand the reasoning behind his statement. Jackson says, "I'm sorry Ewan feels that way. I always loved those movies; I always wanted to be in one."
Oooh, burn! Betcha Ewan's just shaking in his kilt over that one.
Naturally, TFN reports on this as though it was all fact. Here's what Lucasfilm's Pablo Hidalgo had to say on his starwars.com blog:
Ohhh... BOOM goes the dynamite! SLAM simply doesn't cover it. Not since that meteor PLOWED into those dinosaurs has there been a roundhouse so powerful. Can't you just feel the blistering heat coming off that cannon-lobbed "I'm sorry". Man, Ewan is gonna think twice before ever having a quote (or, as is known in some periodicals as a "rant" apparently) attributed to him by a third person like in this story.
Nevertheless, it's great SLJ has a positive attitude toward the movies. He's grateful for being given the chance to make a fan geek dream come true. Go check out the trailer for his new movie with Hayden Christensen, Jumper. It looks really good:
