From Endless Runs to Dinosaur Fights: Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor Take Audiences Behind The End of Oak Street

Releases only in Cinemas on August 14, 2026. In English, Hindi, Tamil & Telugu. Also in IMAX

Anne Hathaway has been turning heads once again, with her glamorous look from the Los Angeles premiere of The End of Oak Street, as fans eagerly await her fourth film of the year. But beyond the red carpet excitement, the film also marks a much-anticipated collaboration between Hathaway and Ewan McGregor, with the two coming together on screen for a story that early reactions are already calling one of the most exciting dinosaur films in recent times. And while the film brings dinosaurs, danger and large-scale spectacle to the big screen, its stars reveal that making it was just as much of a wild ride behind the scenes.

Reflecting on the experience of making the film, Ewan McGregor summed up the story’s unusual blend of genres, saying, “It reads like a crazy Beautiful family drama with this dinosaur element going on, but we had no idea we’d have to do quite so much running that we did.”

Anne Hathaway revealed just how much running the ambitious sequences demanded, recalling how writer-director David Robert Mitchell’s vision kept the pair going take after take. She shared, “Our director David Robert Mitchell. He’s absolutely amazing, and he had these ambitious shots. And so we would arrive on set and you know, it would be like, you know, Denise and Greg run across the lawns, and we’re like, okay, so maybe that one in this one and he’d be like, okay, so it’s gonna be that one and we’re like that one he’s like No, no, no the seven behind that. So we were like, so we would run and run and run and run and run, and I remember, you know, we were still getting to know each other, and we both kind of were very professional for about eight takes. After the eighth take, Ewan turns to me, and he was like Anybody tell you there would be so much running! And I said no! and then we just both kind of like buddied up and decided we were gonna have a great time no matter what, and we did.”

McGregor revealed the surprisingly hands-on process behind some of the film’s encounters. He shared, “What we were reacting to were two brilliant Special effects guys, but they were dressed in a sort of lycra onesie. As they’re running across the lawn towards you, they had a stick in their hand with the dinosaurs, sort of dinosaur head on it. Yeah, and it was sort of funny at first, but then the closer they got it got, the more it got a little bit because you obviously were acting frightened. We’re in the moment of being afraid, and then they just didn’t stop, and they came, and I had my baseball bat, yeah, so I just bumped one right on the nose and dented the beautifully constructed dinosaur head.”
