American audiences won't have to wait much longer as "Angels & Demons" hits theaters on May 15, featuring Ewan McGregor as Camerlengo Patrick McKenna. The Scotsman--who has starred in such films as "Trainspotting," "Star Wars I-III," and "Big Fish," spoke to Beliefnet recently about why he wanted to be a part of the film, his thoughts on religion, and why he wouldn't have done the movie if it was anti-Christian.
