Thursday 27th November 2003: Young Adam Update:
Ewan McGregor has been talking about the decision to remove the scene where he (yet again) shows his member in Young Adam for the US release. "If you want to see my penis, you'll have to fly to Britain. If I'd blown away 5,000 people with a semiautomatic machine gun, that would be fine. But I showed my penis. It does amuse me, the horrific violence that comes out of American cinema. But someone's **** is too much."

be released in the UK on September 26 with every moment of McGregor's
performance left intact.

Young Adam that stars Ewan McGregor, Tilda Swinton and Emily Mortimer has
been passed as an 18 for it's UK release. It was feared that the censors
may require heavy cuts due to the explicit sex, with McGregor, as he is
wont to do so at the drop of a hat, having everything on show. The movie is
now being scheduled for a September UK release.

Wednesday 7th May 2003: Young Adam Update:
Just received word that Young Adam will be premiering at Cannes this Summer. Thanks to Aleta!

Wednesday 26th February 2003: Young Adam Update:
Looks like Young Adam that stars Ewan McGregor will fall foul of the censors with its kinky sex scenes. The scene in question that might cause the trouble is a sex scene that will involve a spoon. And no I have no idea how they used it. I really don't want to know.
