'Last Days in the Desert' trailer: Ewan McGregor plays both Jesus and the devil

Biblical drama features stunning visuals from 'The Revenant' cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki

From playing a heroin addict in Trainspotting to crooning "Your Song" in Moulin Rouge!, Ewan McGregor has never been an actor who shies away from a challenge.

In his latest film Last Days in the Desert, he gamely takes on a weighty dual role, portraying both Jesus and The Devil in a drama about the temptation of Christ.

The film, written and directed by Rodrigo García (Albert Nobbs, TV's In Treatment), premiered at Sundance in 2015 to mostly positive reviews and opens in UK cinemas this June.

Judging from the trailer, it boasts typical stunning visuals from Emmanuel Lubezki, who has won now three consecutive Oscars for his cinematography on Gravity, Birdman and The Revenant.

McGregor's biblical double act is obviously the main focus here, but the film's supporting cast is strong too, with Ciarán Hinds and rising star Tye Sheridan joining McGregor in the desert.

Meanwhile, McGregor is currently shooting Trainspotting 2 in Edinburgh with director Danny Boyle, though a release date for the long-awaited sequel has yet to be announced.
