Shot at P59 West: Ewan McGregor for Nylon Guys Jan 2012
Ask us to sing our favorite scene from our favorite “romantic jukebox musical film” and nine times out of ten it will be one of Ewan McGregor’s numbers from Moulin Rouge!. Home boy showcased some impressive vocals, leaving us to wonder if he was meant to be in one of those British boy bands in his youth. Let’s face it. He totally looks like he could be a member of Take That or Westlife!
Singing chops aside, McGregor has also continued to please us with his acting and will be gracing the big screen a lot in 2012. Let’s go down the list shall we? Perfect Sense, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen (both UK-based projects), The Impossible, Jack the Giant Killer and the absolutely bad-ass looking Haywire.
As he prepares to launch a handful of movies at viewing audiences, McGregor stopped by Pier59 Digital Studios West in Santa Monica for a photo shoot with Nylon Guys. He graces their December/January 2012 cover with an editorial spread inside. Photographer Marvin Scott Jarrett shot the talented actor in Studio B and C with styling by Brady Cunningham.

Shot at P59 West: The Hollywood Reporter “Bought A Zoo”
Cameron Crowe has directed some pretty awesome movies over the years and with the release of We Bought a Zoo, he is aiming to add another notch to his director’s belt. Things are a little different with Zoo as Aline Brosh McKenna (The Devil Wears Prada) penned the original version before Crowe was able to send it through his own writing filters. This was just fine with Fox’s Production President, Emma Watts.
“There’s nothing quite like a turn through his typewriter,” Watts says. There are so many lines from Crowe movies that stick in the popular psyche: “You complete me.” “You had me at hello.” “Show me the money.” “The guy just writes lines that you think of your whole life,” Watts says.
Crowe also turned on the charm, so to speak, in order to secure Matt Damon, the film’s leading man. While Damon was filming True Grit, Crowe showed up on set with a plethora of artifacts that was given to Damon in order to woo and seduce him. It worked because Damon gets top billing alongside Hollywood siren Scarlett Johansson.
Also starring in this comedy-drama are young actors Colin Ford, Maggie Elizabeth Jones and Elle Fanning. With Crowe by their side, these four young actors posed with a selection of animals shot by photographer Jeff Minton for The Hollywood Reporter. Shout out to that zebra!
