Ewan McGregor will provide the lead voice in Jackboots on Whitehall, a "What If..." comedy about an alternate, post-WWII world where the Germans won, which will be shot entirely with action figures. McGregor will play a farm boy leading the anti-Nazi revolution, and will be joined in the recording studio with Richard E. Grant, Tom Wilkinson, Richard Griffiths, and Alan Cumming as Hitler. The project is from the first-time feature-makers the McHenry Brothers, who have a lot of work on their hands to make it amount to more than a glorified Robot Chicken skit. Edward McHenry scored the gig by showing producers his short film, Baptism of Fire, which uses the same stop-motion technique. A quick YouTube search garners no results.
McGregor is signed on to play a London man inhabited by Satan as part of a redemption deal with God in an adaptation of the comedic novel I, Lucifer, and will also star in The Great Pretender, playing both a well-known actor and his lookalike extra in the filmmaking comedy.
