Ewan McGregor's 'The Last Word' retitled?

There hasn't been too much news on The Last Wordlately, but a brief article over at Deadline suggests that the film might have been renamed Perfect Sense. Director, David Mackenzie is reportedly still editing the film which stars Ewan McGregor as a chef. It's also listed under its new name over at IMDb, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the information is accurate. The project is a love story set in a city where people are slowly losing their sensory perception. No official release date has been announced.

Ewan in The Ghost Writer

The Ghost Writer Roman Polanski returns after a considerable absence with the best movie he’s made in 31 years—and I like a lot of the films he made between Tess (1979) and this one. The film works as a political thriller in its own right, but is the sort of work that becomes far more meaningful if you’re familiar with Polanski’s other films. It’s not simply that catching allusions to movies like Cul-de-Sac(1966) or Chinatown (1974) or The Tenant (1976) are bound to bring a smile to fans of the director’s body of work. No, there’s more to it than that. The atmosphere remembered from the chilly Cul-de-Sac (finally being released on DVD—in the UK at least—this month) helps set the tone here and makes what happens between the Ewan McGregor and Olivia Williams characters seem almost inevitable in the world of Polanski. The small-scale corruption of Chinatown has gone global in this film. And the theme of loss of identity that permeates The Tenant returns with a lead character so vague in his own existence that he doesn’t even have a name this round. It’s a rich film that, like Shutter Island, only gets better on subsequent viewings. If this doesn’t come in in the top five at the end of the year, it will mean that awards season was very rich indeed.

FILMCLUB – the after-school initiative for young people, will give Hollywood a run for its money in the coming weeks when members get the chance to shoot their very own Science Fiction films.

Selected schools across the South of England will get the chance to take part in one of summer schools, where they will not only be watching classics like Flight of the Navigatorand the chillingly brilliant Invasion of the Body Snatchers, but competing for a FILMCLUB Oscar, when they create their own version of a Sci-Fi great.

Ahead of the Sci- Fi summer FILMCLUB hunted down some of the best-known names in Science Fiction film to get their feedback on the scheme.

First to comment was Star Wars actor Ewan McGregor - “It’s brilliant how teachers are using movies to engage kids with the world.”

Self confessed Sci–Fi geek and star of the latest Star Trek smash, Simon Pegg, agreed – “I think it is wonderful that something like FILMCLUB is being done… people need to get behind it!”

For the ultimate seal of approval, movie legend Stephen Spielberg - director of Sci–Fi classicsE.T and Close Encounters of the Third Kind said “what they are doing at FILMCLUB is amazing!”

This event is just one of the many summer film clubs that FILMCLUB is running around the UK this summer – all of them free to the students and schools. And with the praise of so many stars of the silver screen, FILMCLUB’s Summer of Sci-Fi may even launch the stars of the future…
