Film in Pictures: Mike Mills’ Beginners

Date:

I’m gearing up for TIFF here, and in comes the first wave of pictures from Mike Mill’s sophomore feature Beginners – a film that should be at the top of many buyer’s lists next month, and is one of my most anticipated features of the year, as it’s been a long wait since Thumbsucker. Ewan McGregor plays a young man rocked by two announcements from his elderly father (Christopher Plummer)…one, that he has terminal cancer, and two, that he’s coming out of the closet. Here are a pair of pics we can add to this behind the scenes one we received early in the year featuring the filmmaker and one of the film’s stars.

McGregor, and the person who I imagine plays his character’s love-interest in Melanie Laurent.
