Opening this weekend, in limited release, is director Juan Antonio Bayona’s The Impossible. Based on a true story, the film stars Naomi Watts and Ewan McGregor as the parents of three boys vacationing in Thailand in 2004 when the tsunami hit. Having survived, but finding themselves separated, the family members search for each other amidst the chaos, encountering strangers caught up in the same situation along the way. The film also stars Tom Holland, Samuel Joslin, and Oaklee Pendergast. For more on The Impossible, here are eight clips and the trailer.
At the recent Los Angeles press day I got to speak to Ewan McGregor. We talked about why he wanted to make The Impossible, how he prepared for the role, why he finally decided to get on Twitter (follow him here), and his thoughts on more Star Wars movies. Hit the jump to watch.

did not sound like he wants to be in the next sw film.
This film looks brilliant! Having been to Thailand since the Tsunami, it is amazing how much of it is rebuilt but still lots of damage still remains. Heartbreaking to think what happened there on the same streets/beaches that I walked on. Most beautiful country I ever seen! And that goes for the Thai people too.
