From TF.N:
Ewan McGregor (Star Wars: Episodes I & II, Black Hawk Down) has indicated that he was bitterly disappointed when he was passed over in 2000 for the lead in The Beach by director Danny Boyle, producer Andrew Macdonald and screenwriter John Hodge, whom he had worked with in three previous films, including the award-winning 1996 hit Trainspotting. In an interview due to be broadcast on the FilmFour channel (the digital outlet of Britain's Channel 4) on Saturday, McGregor implies that he was miffed when the role went to Leonardo DiCaprio instead. "It was badly handled," McGregor remarks, while going on to disclose that he has not spoken to Boyle, Macdonald or Hodge since. It was not, he maintains, simply a question of his not landing the role. "The film was almost irrelevant. It was a friendship issue, and all of those things. It was very unfortunate, and so I don't see any of them anymore, and that's a shame."
So, lets get this straght. Team that he has made 3 films with(And gave him his career break) make a film, dont cast him, so he stops talking to them. EH?
