Ewan McGregor quits Natural Nylon

Ewan McGregor has left Natural Nylon, the UK production company founded by the cream of the UK's acting talent in a bid to create a "British United Artists".
News of the UK star's departure comes only weeks after the production company lost founder member and producer Damon Bryant, who left to set up his own outfit, Sonnet Pictures.
McGregor, who founded the company with actors including Jonny Lee Miller and Sean Pertwee, was the driving force behind the company's first production, 'Nora', in which he played writer James Joyce. However he has not appeared in any film for the company since then, pursuing his career in the US with the 'Star Wars' franchise and home-grown films such as 'Young Adam'.
McGregor's agent, Lindy King at Peters Fraser & Dunlop, said: "He felt bad because he was so busy outside the company."
Jude Law, Natural Nylon's other most high-profile member, has also been busy working on outside projects such as 'A.I. Artificial Intelligence'. Law starred in one Natural Nylon project, 'eXistenZ', on which the company took a co-producing credit. Natural Nylon's only other production since has been Mike Barker's English Civil War story 'To Kill A King'.
