Source: www.tinpanfilms.comfrom the Scenes of a Sexual Nature Blog:Ewan McGregor says YES!Ewan McGregor was in ‘Guys and Dolls’ at the Piccadilly Theatre. He was playing opposite Doug Hodge who we had also approached to be in the film. They’re the best of friends. So they both decided to come on board. I’m told they rehersed the scene on the stage at the Piccadilly Theatre, so theoretically the script had a West End Premiere before it was made into a film. They played off each other brillaintly on set and were a joy to work with as were the rest of the cast.Once we had gathered all the actors together and I looked at our full cast list, people like Ewan, Hugh, Sophie Okonedo, who was Oscar nominated last year, Gina McKee, Catherine Tate, Adrian Lester, Holly Aird, Eileen Atkins, Tom Hardy, Douglas Hodge, Andrew Lincoln, Eglantine Rembauville, Mark Strong, Polly Walker and Benjamin Whitrow, I thought a dream has truly come true.Source: www.scenesofasexualnature.co.uk/
