Ewan McGregor co-pilots the Amelia Earhart biopic!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Mira Nair (VANITY FAIR) is helming an Amelia Earhart biopic with Hilary Swank in the lead, Richard Gere as her husband (famous publisher George Putnam) and Virginia Madsen in a co-starring role. Ewan McGregor has been hired to come in for what sounds like a minor character in the flick as he's squeezing the shooting of his part in-between wrapping I LOVE YOU, PHILIP MORRIS and ANGELS AND DEMONS. He'll play Earhart's lover, Gene Vidal (papa of Gore Vidal). It's good to see McGregor working so much. He's been one of my favorites of his generation since I saw TRAINSPOTTING. Thoughts?
