Ethan Hawke and Ewan McGregor are set to star in a new film titled 'Raymond and Ray' for Apple Studios and Apple TV+.

As per reports, McGregor will play Raymond, while Hawke will portray Ray. The actors will star as half-brothers who have lived in the shadow of a terrible father. Rodrigo Garcia will write and direct the upcoming film.

The story will follow the brothers who reunite at the funeral of their father. Somehow, they retain a sense of humour and his funeral allows them to reinvent themselves with anger, pain, folly and definitely grave-digging.

The film will be produced by Academy Award winner Alfonso Cuaron, Bonnie Curtis and Julie Lynn, who will produce through Mockingbird Pictures.

Raymond and Ray is the latest starry Apple production. In recent months, the tech giant has unveiled several films for its streaming platform, including Emancipation, which unites director Antoine Fuqua and Will Smith; Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro; Finch with Tom Hanks; and Joel Coen's The Tragedy of Macbeth, starring Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand.
