Ewan McGregor has signed to co-star in ‘Amelia,’ a biopic about Amelia Earhart. Hilary Swank and Richard Gere joined the movie last month and the crew already started filming in Toronto, Canada. Earhart was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic and mysteriously disappeared in a flight to the Howland Island.

But the movie will focus on her early years and her affair with Gene Vidal, portrayed by McGregor. Below you can find the first production photos. ‘Amelia’ is targeting a Fall 2009 release.

Stand-up comedian Hardland Williams will be directing ‘Wing Man,’ by production company Stardust. They previously worked together on the comic’s comedy special ‘Wild Child,’ but you can’t really compare that to the $10 million project he will take on now.

‘Wing Man’ follows the story of Bob Erdman, the allround good guy who gets cheated on by his wife with his best friend. Unsuccessful at every date, his father eventually drags him to a Hollywood agency to get a fake Wing Man.

Co-written by Williams and Justin L. Levine, the movie will be shot in Toronto this summer. I wonder if he’s considering his Canadian comedian pal Tom Green for a role too.
