Per the initial report, Raymond & Ray follows two estranged half-brothers. McGregor plays Raymond while Hawke will portray Ray. The two come together for their father’s funeral and are suddenly facing the fallout of their relationship with their father. Check out the film’s logline below.
“Somehow, they still each have a sense of humor, and their father’s funeral is a chance for them to reinvent themselves. There’s anger, there’s pain, there’s folly, there might be love, and there’s definitely grave-digging.”
Ewan McGregor recently earned a Primetime Emmy nod for his stellar work in Netflix’s Halston. Additionally, the actor recently ventured into the world of DC as Black Mask in Cathy Yan’s Birds of Prey. Up next, the actor will reprise his legendary role as Obi-Wan Kenobi in the upcoming Disney+ Star Wars series. Meanwhile, Ethan Hawke is best known for his star-making roles in films like Dead Poets Society and Training Day. Up next, Hawke will star Marvel’s Moon Knight Disney+ series opposite Oscar Isaac.
