As if their videos weren't cinematic enough, Pulp's Jarvis Cocker has signed on to make his directorial debut for "Tube Tales," a film comprised of vignettes based on the true life stories of London's subway riders.

Joining Cocker on the project will be "Trainspotting" and "Velvet Goldmine" actor Ewan McGregor -- who recently completed filming additional scenes and pick-up shots for the new "Star Wars" film at Leavesden Studios in England, in addition to a host of other young British directors, according to the British Press Association.

Pulp is currently on the road in Japan and Australia supporting its most recent album, "This Is Hardcore," although the Sheffield, England, band is scheduled to return to the U.K. for a run of dates from mid-November through early-December.

"Tube Tales" is set to begin shooting on location in London in November, with the program scheduled to air on the U.K.'s Sky Premier channel in Spring 1999.
