Ewan McGregor Reveals The End Of Oak Street's Original, Much Darker Final Scene

Ewan McGregor says the original ending of The End Of Oak Street was darker than the version audiences see now. Speaking to USA Today, the Moulin Rouge! actor—who stars opposite Anne Hathaway—described an earlier finale where Anne’s character and her children fail to travel far enough into the future to save their father. Instead, the family ends up “in the prairies during the settlers’ times,” leaving Greg absent. In the released film, time-swapping in the closing moments brings him back, allowing McGregor to describe a “mending” of the relationship between his character and Hathaway’s in the final scene. The movie is in cinemas now.
