:: The Playlist :: —
... McGregor recently spoke about working with the legendary film director and was candid about his blunt demeanor, but also highly laudatory about his skills. "He pushes you quite hard and always demands that you look for the truth of the scene and pushes until you get there, until you stop acting it and you start feeling it.

... can make his wishes known from his cell. I don’t think he can make phone calls, but he can communicate. What people think of the film is another matter.

Ewan McGregor interviewed in the LATimes last weekend:
How much of what goes on in “The Men Who Stare at Goats” do you think is true? The LSD, the telekinesis, the military secrecy . . .
