Ewan, Renee Reunite In 'Miss Potter'

Film Tells Unlikely Story Of Beatrix Potter, Author Of 'Peter Rabbit'

(CBS)  Since bursting onto the movie scene in "Trainspotting" a decade ago, Ewan McGregor has starred in diverse films from "Moulin Rouge" to "Black Hawk Down" to "Star Wars."

His latest movie, "Miss Potter," reunites him with former co-star Renee Zellweger.

The two were in "Down With Love" together three years ago.

"Miss Potter" is the story of "Peter Rabbit" author Beatrix Potter, played by Zellweger. McGregor portrays her publisher and ill-fated lover. The odds seemed stacked against both when they met.

On The Early Show Friday, McGregor marveled at the British accent his co-star was able to put on in "Miss Potter," since she's from Texas. Brits, he told Harry Smith, think Zellweger has it down pat!
