25 Most Hotly Anticipated Movies Of Winter 2016 - Ranked
20. American Pastoral
Release Date: October 28th
Billed As: Ewan McGregor's ideal American life falls apart when his daughter commits an act of terrorism and disappears for five years.
Hype: Philip Roth's Pulitzer Prize winning novel was always ripe for adaptation and it's a very interesting choice for Ewan McGregor's directorial debut. He's the ideal candidate for the central role of a man watching the thin veneer of respectability on the world peel away to reveal the grubby secrets below. So it all really depends on how he takes his own direction.
Domestic terrorism is obviously a pertinent place to build a story now (even though it's a period movie), so it's an intriguing time for this to come out. Let's hope it's as intelligently handled as McGregor tends to do with his performances.
