Variety reports that Golden Globe winner Ewan McGregor (Fargo, T2 Trainspotting) will lead director Marc Forster’s The Cow, a remake of the classic French comedy The Cow and I, or La Vache et le Prisonnier in French.
Shooting for The Cow, written by The Big Bang Theory’s co-creator Bill Prady, is slated to begin this fall.
In The Cow, Ewan McGregor will play a World War II prisoner of war who hatches a plan to use a cow to help him escape captivity and find his way across Germany to freedom.
The movie is produced by Lichter, Forster, Eric Kopeloff, Renee Wolfe, and Ludi Boeken.
