Wednesday, September 10, 2008 at 7:37AM Edward Norton's 'Leaves of Grass' Poster
I guess
Tim Blake Nelson and
Edward Norton
are really confident about their upcoming collaboration,
Leaves of Grass.
We reported on the story
a few days ago, after the pair of
Incredible Hulk co-stars held a press
conference in Toronto to announce the film.
The story's pretty interesting, I guess: Norton will
play twins, a philosophy professor and a drug dealer, and the professor finds
himself caught up in a bizarre scheme devised by his brother to outwit a local
drug lord in Oklahoma.
The cast is good -
Susan Sarandon,
Richard
Dreyfuss, maybe
Keri Russell, and of course Norton and Nelson -
but the fact that there's already a poster is a little surprising. I mean, they
haven't even started filming yet. Even more surprising is that it's a pretty
damn good poster, really. I'd stick with this one when it comes out in theaters.


I really only have one question: Norton's Class 5 Films is producing Leaves of Grass, but it's also the production company for his Motherless Brooklyn, an unforgettable novel by Jonathan Lethem. Norton is directing and starring in that film, which I guess we'll see in 2009, but I'm kind of anxious for an update. Where does that one go in the pecking order now? It was supposed to be a New Line release, but who knows what's what over there anymore.

wow!! i cant wait to see edward norton on the big screen again. This must be exciting. Playing two roles.
This is one DVD I'd have no trouble placing a pre-order, even before the reviews came out. This has to be a winner, if only to watch the acting of Norton vs Norton. However, with such a handsome cast, my bet is that the whole movie will be two thumbs up!
I have seen many posts similar to this one on internet but all other have filler content and are not up-to-the mark. This post especially made me to post my comments as its credible,camera cases it’s very good!
