Edward Norton: Shirtless Beach Bod with Shauna Robertson!

Edward Norton goes shirtless while vacationing on the beach with bikini-clad rumored fiancee Shauna Robertson on Thursday (July 7) and Friday (July 8) in Costa Smeralda, Italy.

The 41-year-old actor rode a jet ski on the first day of the trip and relaxed on the beach with Shauna on the second day.

Edward is currently filming his upcoming movie Moonrise Kingdom. The film is about two young lovers who flee their New England town, causing a local search party to fan out and find them.

25+ pictures inside of Edward Norton and Shauna Robertson at the beach…

Edward Norton: Engaged to Shauna Robertson?

Edward Norton may have popped the question to his longtime love, film producer Shauna Robertson!

The 41-year-old actor reportedly proposed to Shauna three weeks ago in India - and Courtney Love, who dated Edward back in the ’90s, shared the news with the NY Post!

“Wow, it’s about time,” Courtney said. “He’s 41, they’ve been together for six years. He needs to have babies. I wonder what kind of ring he got her? He bought me a ruby. He has great character. He’s very political. I see him being a senator one day.”

Congratulations to the happy couple if it’s true!

FYI: Ed and Shauna are both founders of Crowdrise, a fundraising charity site that is currently working with the Ogawa family who agreed to match every dollar they raised up to a million dollars for the American Red Cross’s Japan Relief effort.

Edward Norton May Play the Villain in "The Bourne Legacy"Posted: July 13th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff

Variety has learned that Edward Norton (The Incredible Hulk) is in talks to play the villain in "The Bourne Legacy," which has Jeremy Renner playing the lead.

Plot details are being kept under wraps, but Jason Bourne will not be featured in the film, which means that Matt Damon will also not make an appearance. Instead, Renner will play another assassin trained in the same program that Bourne was trained in.

Tony Gilroy (Michael Clayton) is on board to direct from his own script. Rachel Weisz has also signed on to star. "The Bourne Legacy" is set to hit theaters on August 3rd, 2012.

Edward Norton in Talks to Play the Villain in THE BOURNE LEGACY
by Adam Chitwood Posted: July 12th, 2011 at 5:38 pm

Director Tony Gilroy is looking to cast a big name as the villain in The Bourne Legacy, with Variety reporting that Edward Norton is now in negotiations to take on the role. After a lengthy casting search, the powers-that-be finally settled on Jeremy Renner take on the lead role in the Matt Damon-less reboot. Gilroy wrote the script for the film, which will take place in the same universe as the first three Bourne Identity flicks, though the character of Jason Bourne will be absent (which pretty much renders the “Bourne” in the title moot, save for franchise recognition). Rachel Weisz is also onboard to star in the film. Hit the jump for more.

Set Photos From Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom
published: 2011-06-07 13:11:16 Author: Eric Eisenberg

I find it hard to imagine that any real film fan isn't over-the-moon excited for Wes Anderson's next project. The story of a young, in-love couple that runs away and causes everyone in their hometown to panic, the movie's helmer alone is more than enough to raise interest, but the cast also happens to be the filmmaker's most notable cast since The Royal Tenenbaums, including Bill Murray, Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, Frances McDormand, Tilda Swinton, Harvey Keitel and Jason Schwartzman. Still don't think you're at the proper excitement level? Maybe this will help.
An IMDb Message Board user (via The Film Stage) has posted the first photos from the set and in addition to showcasing some of the set, the photographer was also able to capture a moment with Norton (who is apparently playing a Scout Leader) and Murray (who doesn't appear to be in costume). You can check out three of the photos below but be sure to head over to IMDb to see the rest!

Exclusive Clip From Stone
Source: CraveOnline September 9, 2010

CraveOnline has your exclusive first look at a clip from Stone, starring Robert De Niro, Edward Norton, Milla Jovovich and Frances Conroy.

In the film, directed by by John Curran and opening Oct. 8th, parole officer Jack Mabry (De Niro) is counting the days toward a quiet retirement, when he is asked to review the case of Gerald "Stone" Creeson (Norton), in prison for covering up the murder of his grandparents with a fire. Now eligible for early release, Stone needs to convince Jack he has reformed, but his attempts to influence the older man's decision have profound and unexpected effects on them both. Jovovich plays Lucetta, Stone's sexy, casually amoral wife.

Stone -- Film Review
By Kirk Honeycutt, Eylül 09, 2010 03:05 ET
Bottom Line: A thoroughly unconvincing melodrama about a sexual triangle that few viewers are likely to buy.
TORONTO -- Premiering in Toronto less than two months after the demise of Overture Films, "Stone" reminds you not only how willing that short-lived indie distributor was to take risks but how easy it was for it -- or for anyone -- to miscalculate those risks in an indie market that is exceedingly dicey.

"Stone" stars Robert De Niro and Edward Norton, so one can anticipate critics and adult filmgoers will take notice. Plus the story deals with corruption, dark impulses and moral bankruptcy -- so, again, one imagines it will at least be thought-provoking.

Ennui-provoking is more like it.

There is not a credible moment in this overly calculated melodrama. And though Jon Brion's score -- a steady beat that feels less like music than an unnerving noise from a nearby room -- labors to produce tension among the characters, the actors deliver uneven performances. De Niro trudges through the dramatic muck in workmanlike fashion, and Norton's portrayal of a white-trash sociopath is all tricked out with nervous mannerisms, vocal distortions, a weird accent and startling hairdos.

While not likely to attract those looking for a conventional thriller, the film misses the art house mark, too. Anemic box office should greet "Stone" when the film opens Oct. 8 in Los Angeles and New York before a national rollout.

Maybe there needs to be a moratorium on stories about a protagonist about to embark on one last mission or one last crime or one last anything. For an audience just knows one monumental screw-up is heading his way.

De Niro plays Jack Mabry, a parole officer reviewing, yes, one last case before his retirement. This involves Norton's Gerald Creeson, a sniveling convict who wants to be called "Stone." If that name doesn't send up red flags, then his abundant self-pity and disturbing lack of remorse for his participation in his own grandparents' murders should.

Stone plays his trump card right away. That would be his sexually voracious wife Lucetta (played by Milla Jovovich as if she wandered on to the set from a porn shoot). The couple plays this card in as blatant a manner as possible; nonetheless, Jack falls for it, or can't resist Lucetta's charms, or misplaced his parole officers' manual at a crucial moment. Who the hell knows, but if you buy this plot turn, you probably also respond to those e-mail queries from dying widows who want to give you $5 million.

The movie actually begins with a flashback to Jack's early years as a married man to tip you off that he nearly committed a crime as heinous as Stone's. In another movie, this might have been an effective way to contrast two men on opposite sides of the law who are more alike than a superficial glance would indicate. But "Stone" is so signposted like this all the way through that the movie does all the work for a viewer: You hardly need to keep track of such things.

Now in present day, Jack is undergoing a spiritual crisis. You know this because -- more signposts -- he listens in the car to nonstop religious talk shows. But none of this sinks in. He and his long-suffering wife (Frances Conroy) are a faded, lackluster couple who clutch their Bibles and attend church with a hopelessness they no longer even question.

Everything you think might happen does, so it all comes down to what two unstable men will do when one springs the other from prison as a "favor" to the convict's wife. Here the movie becomes oddly vague with a dramatic climax whose origin is unclear and outcome uncertain. Not that a viewer is invested in any of this anyway.

Angus MacLachlan's screenplay, which John Curran directed, supposedly is set in suburban Detroit, but everything feels slightly Southern, including Norton's peculiar accent.

'Stone'

An Overture Films release presented with Mimran Schur Pictures of a Mimran Schur Pictures/Holly Wiersma production. Produced by Wiersma, Jordan Schur, David Mimran. Executive producers, Avi Lerner, Danny Dimbort, Trevor Short, Rene Besson. Co-producer, Ed Cathell III. Co-executive producers, Will French, Stephen Roberts. Directed by John Curran. Screenplay, Angus MacLachlan.

Jack Mabry - Robert De Niro
Gerald Creeson - Edward Norton
Lucetta - Milla Jovovich
Madylyn - Frances Conroy
Young Jack - Enver Gjokaj
Young Madylyn - Pepper Binkley
Aided by a pair of dead-on lead performances from Robert De Niro and Edward Norton, director John Curran takes the high road with a Jerry Springer-ready "My girlfriend slept with my parole officer!" scenario, elevating "Stone" beyond the "Primal Fear" redux suggested by its cast (Norton once again plays a prisoner attempting to manipulate the system). Though nearly sabotaged by the ridiculous sexual subplot at its center, this soul-searching drama works best at the character level, couching insights about sin and forgiveness under the guise of conventional genre entertainment. With this cast, "Stone" should gather greenbacks on the specialty circuit.
"Stone" opens with an unsettling domestic scene, as corrections officer Jack Mabry (seen here as a young man, but later played by De Niro) responds to his wife's divorce request by threatening the life of their infant daughter. Cut to the present day: The couple has somehow carried on the charade of their loveless marriage. Though the characters reveal no memory of that pivotal confrontation, the cloud of Mabry's actions hangs over the rest of the film, implying a capacity for genuine evil.

Ironic, then, that this man who has never atoned for his own sins should find himself a parole officer, playing confessor to repentant criminals. With retirement just days away, Mabry insists on finishing up his last few cases, including a white-trash type named Gerald Creeson (Norton), aka "Stone," who torched his grandparents' house after an accomplice killed the old couple -- an "In Cold Blood"-worthy crime for which Creeson shows no regret.

Creeson badly wants out of prison, and he's willing to say or do whatever it takes to get early release, even if it means talking his g.f., Lucetta (Milla Jovovich), into seducing the stoic old cop. It's a development that all but destroys "Stone's" much-needed sense of plausibility; the idea of using sexual favors for leverage is cheap potboiler stuff and feels out of character for all the players involved. Mabry may be a chauvinist, but he's no dummy, and Creeson may be a dummy, but he's not that masochistic.

The more interesting relationship is the one between Mabry and his wife (a cowed Frances Conroy), which seems to exist in a state of suspended dysfunction. To his credit, Curran downplays the more melodramatic aspects of the script, avoiding the operatic in favor of a more introspective approach. The script reps another closely observed Middle American portrait from "Junebug" scribe Angus MacLachlan, confirming him as a writer with a novelist's keen sense of character.

The actors have ample opportunity to dig deep here, with De Niro playing a bottled-up monster who's all the more frightening for what he doesn't let show. Curran augments this inner disturbance by enlisting docu-trained d.p. Maryse Alberti ("The Wrestler"), who uses a more unbalanced shooting style around Mabry, and sound pros Eugene Gearty ("The Aviator") and Skip Lievsay ("No Country for Old Men"). The latter pair helps texture the film with a sophisticated, mostly subjective aural wallpaper, overcrowded with the white noise of Mabry's world -- a mix dominated by evangelical Christian talkradio.

Religion factors prominently in both the Mabrys' lives and Creeson's get-out-of-jail scheme (the inmate investigates an obscure faith called Zukangor, hoping it will help with his parole, only to be blind-sided by an unexpected, honest-to-God religious experience behind bars). Mabry has worked the parole beat long enough to spot the con men among these convicts, so it's only natural that he should suspect Creeson's conversion. And by casting Norton (who appeared in Curran's last film, "The Painted Veil"), the director instantly sows distrust for those who saw the actor's career-making turn as a scammer in "Primal Fear."

The trouble is, though we can tell what Curran is going for when Mabry starts to melt down, the director doesn't calibrate the tension and tone correctly, which compromises each of De Niro's outbursts -- from the opening one (tipped oddly off-balance by the decision to highlight a wasp on the scene's periphery) to a drunken, dark-alley confrontation near the end of the film. De Niro convincingly demonstrates his character's short temper and capacity for violence, though much of what the film does to provoke him rings false, especially Lucetta's seduction -- a misuse of Jovovich, who clearly wants to give a more serious performance than "Stone" is ready to allow.

Lured to Michigan by tax credits, the pic benefits from its fresh Middle American backdrop. Combined with the unique sound design, Jon Brion's score helps to give the drama an unsettling psychological intensity.

De Niro Versus Norton In This CB Exclusive Clip From Stone
By Josh Tyler: 2010-09-10 01:09:45 Share |
This weekend you’ll be able to watch Milla Jovovich take on zombies with a shotgun but on October 8th she’ll have to use much more subtle methods when she’s stuck between Robert De Niro and Edward Norton in Stone. And by subtle methods I mean sex.

The movie stars Norton and De Niro as a prisoner and a corrections officer in a battle of manipulation as Norton’s inmate character Stone Creeson attempts to influence his way out of prison. In the middle is Milla Jovovich as Stone’s sexy, amoral wife.

In the following Cinema Blend exclusive clip from Stone below, you won’t see Milla, but you will see plenty of Norton and De Niro facing off in the midst of a heated argument. Take a look:

Toronto Review | De Niro Versus Norton: John Curran’s “Stone”
by Eric Kohn (Updated 9 hours, 16 minutes ago)
A scene from John Curran's "Stone."A bizarre, messy tale of religious philosophy and guilt, John Curran’s “Stone” has several unique parts that never entirely fit together. Robert De Niro stars as Michigan-based parole officer Jack Mabrey, an unnervingly cold man with inner demons to spare. His latest subject is Stone (Edward Norton), a convicted arsonist up for parole. Mabrey finds himself drawn into a dangerous liaison with the prisoner’s troublemaking wife (Milla Jovovich), willfully subjecting himself to a destructive situation. His motives continually unclear, Jack provides the movie with enough of a tantalizing enigma to make for an engaging viewing experience in individual moments—but the bigger themes never come together.

Curran (“The Painted Veil”) apparently puts all his efforts into the haunting first act, which establishes a marvelous sense of mystery embedded in the movie’s design. A fleeting prologue finds early versions of Jack and his wife (later played by Frances Conroy) embroiled in a marital dispute that leads Jack to threaten the life of their own child. As the soundtrack grows overwhelmed by hissing insects and a whispering breeze, Curran creates a palpable sense of discomfort that carries through the story even as it staggers about in search of a purpose. Flashing forward to the brink of Jack’s retirement, Curran closes in on the professional burnout visible in Jack’s eyes. Having spent his days controlling the fate of broken men and women—both the prisoners and his spouse—he appears to struggle with finding a means of personal satisfaction. The church, a major presence in his private life, apparently doesn’t do the trick.

Curran artfully establishes the figure of a broken man in ambitious cinematic terms. But once the story (written by Angus MacLachlan, initially as a play) pits De Niro against Norton, “Stone” turns into a confusing morality tale. Sitting in Jack’s office over the course of several meetings, the men face off in tight exchanges that form the narrative backbone of the movie. Norton’s character, a seemingly malicious schemer intent on ensuring his release, unleashes rapid-fire dialogue about atonement for his past sins. Speaking in a harsh Southern accent, Norton’s trashy persona is almost too nutty for his own good, and takes some time to credibly settle into the role. Still, it’s a focused, calculated performance—although it’s never quite apparent what he’s focused on.

At a certain point, “Stone” takes a sharp turn into film noir territory with the threat of blackmail. The criminal sends his lovesick wife to seduce Jack, a feat she accomplishes with remarkable ease. Jack’s unconvincingly fast susceptibility to Jovovich’s sultry femme fatale takes the movie a few more steps beyond reality and into the realm of a psychological nightmare (not to mention a monumentally awkward sex scene between Jovovich and De Niro).

Despite the odd tone, the heart of “Stone” is an obvious set-up with no place to go. The dialogue suggests all sinners are created equally—“How long do you have to keep judging someone for one bad thing they’ve done?” asks Stone—but since Curran makes it clear from the beginning that Jack himself is no angel, his extramarital affair never feels like it complicates the issues at hand. It’s a dark, murky picture from the first frame to the last.

As a thriller, “Stone” has loads of potential and not enough momentum to pull it off. It does, however, maintain a consistent redeeming factor: De Niro, putting on a legitimately unsettling performance, delivers his best work in years as a man growing increasingly exasperated by an inability to express his fears. Even so, he can’t salvage the movie from its muddled depictions of justice and spirituality. Curran obviously has a lot of ideas, but fails to stick with one that works.

Edward Norton: the hero with a thousand faces
By Jay Stone, Postmedia News September 10, 2010

TORONTO - Edward Norton folds his long, lean frame into an armchair, runs his hand through a mop of black hair, and begins to talk about what it is about his new movie - a drama called Stone - that got him into the prison garb, Southern accent, and ambiguous motives of a character who might seem familiar.

The character's name is Stone, a convicted arsonist, and, in the movie, he's trying to persuade a parole officer, played by Robert De Niro, to let him go. And he has some bait: Stone's sexy wife (Milla Jovovich) is willing to seduce a release.

It sounds like a version of the role that made Norton famous, the accused killer conning his way to freedom in Primal Fear, but, as Norton says, calling Stone a con movie is a "reductive" way of seeing it. And before he is finished, we will be talking about Joseph Campbell, the spiritual crisis in America, and much more.

Stone, which is being screened at the Toronto International Film Festival, goes in unusual directions. Norton's character is a hard-line convict in a Detroit prison who, at first, seems irredeemable. De Niro plays a middle-American religious man who nonetheless has some doubts about his beliefs. And slowly, they begin to exchange positions, with Jovovich's character as a manipulative sexual being on the sidelines.

"I didn't respond to it when I first read it," Norton says of the screenplay by Angus MacLachlan (Junebug). He wanted to work with director John Curran again - they made The Painted Veil together - but "I didn't get what the hook was for him on this one. He had a lot of thinking to do, and I was like a sounding board for him." They spent a year talking about the movie and trying to dig out what it was that appealed to Curran: "feelings of moral hypocrisy in this country, or moral decay, or the veneers of spirituality that people sit with, and the consequences of denial," Norton says.

He got interested when the movie transformed into something less about a character pulling a fast one, and more like a movie that would ask an audience to decide what it was saying about the nature of revelation and spiritual epiphany.

"John was doing the thing that I like the most, which is, he was trying to aim at a film that was going to ask very, very difficult questions without answering them. . . . John has posed a lot of really, really intense questions, and asked you to do the work of sorting out what you had thought was at play in the film. And that's very exciting to me. That's almost my favourite place to be."

Stone is set in a background of old-time religion - a Detroit radio station that broadcasts discussions about God and evil form its soundtrack - that underlines another of its themes. "John said that, as a country, we proselytize our values to a lot of people, but are we living them? What if we could make a story about a person who's been judging people for such a long time, they've lost sight of whether they've got any of that inside themselves any more? At that allegorical level, it sounded really neat."

The role of Stone was meant to slowly transform, and almost change positions with, that of the parole officer, a prospect Norton thought would be interesting to do with De Niro, with whom he previously worked on The Score. He loved the give and take of their scenes.

"Bob's so authentic about it, that his attitude comes out: 'OK, let's play the game. Rattle me. Get under my skin. Make me feel bad about something I said.' So a dynamic starts to build. In some ways, it's my job to get more and more close to the bone."

It's a different kind of acting challenge than Norton faces in some of his movies - The Incredible Hulk, say, a role that's been in the news, because he has dropped out reprising it in The Avengers - but he says, "Sometimes you get pulled into things for reasons that are less complex. . . . It calls for different types of creativity."

There's a connection, however, and it comes in the thoughts of Campbell, the mythologist and author of The Hero with a Thousand Faces.

"Campbell has that one great riff about transparency, and I've never forgotten it," Norton says. "He says a myth or a story starts to really take on functionality for people when it becomes transparent, when you see through it to see that it's really about you.

"And I remember the first time I heard that, it almost became my life. That should be the goal of everything. It can be fun, it can be entertaining, but at the end of the day, if you can make something where people see through it and say, yes, I get it, I see myself in that, I see my life in that, I see my country in that, I see whatever, then you're starting to hit at the nerve. When a film sears itself into you, you realize that's what happened: It's named you to yourself or you see yourself in it, or it's helped you put a name on something."

And to Norton, Stone is one of those movies.

"I think you're being asked to really, really, really think about what just went down, and who moved most authentically toward a more enlightened kind of view of life."

Stone to be released Oct. 8.

Exclusive: Robert Deniro Photo STONE
Posted by: Michael
From the studio we have an exclusive first look at Robert Deniro in his new upcoming film STONE which co-stars Edward Norton. Academy Award® winner Robert De Niro and Oscar® nominee Edward Norton deliver powerful performances as a seasoned corrections official and a scheming inmate whose lives become dangerously intertwined in Stone, a thought-provoking drama directed by John Curran (The Painted Veil, We Don’t Live Here Anymore) and written by Angus McLachlan (Junebug).

As parole officer Jack Mabry (De Niro) counts the days toward a quiet retirement, he is asked to review the case of Gerald “Stone” Creeson (Norton), in prison for covering up the murder of his grandparents with a fire. Now eligible for early release, Stone needs to convince Jack he has reformed, but his attempts to influence the older man’s decision have profound and unexpected effects on them both.

Stone skillfully weaves together the parallel journeys of two men grappling with dark impulses, as the line between lawman and lawbreaker becomes precariously thin. The film’s superb ensemble features Milla Jovovich (The Fifth Element) as Lucetta, Stone’s sexy, casually amoral wife, and Golden Globe® winner Frances Conroy (Six Feet Under) as Madylyn, Jack’s devout, long-suffering spouse.

Set against the quiet desperation of an economically ravaged community and the stifling brutality of a maximum security prison, this tale of passion, betrayal and corruption examines the fractured lives of two volatile men breaking from their troubled pasts to face uncertain futures.

Edward Norton Fights Back Against Hulk Drama

Edward Norton Fights Back Against Hulk Drama
Mon., Jul. 12, 2010 12:17 PM PDT by Marc Malkin

UPDATE: Edward Norton just released a statement on Facebook.

"I am so appreciative of the outpouring of support from fans of the Hulk and The Avengers that I feel it would be rude not to respond," his statement reads in part.

"So here goes: It seems it won't work out for me to continue playing Bruce Banner for Marvel in The Avengers. I sincerely hoped it could happen and be great for everyone, but it hasn't turned out as well as we hoped. I know this is disappointing to many people and that makes me sad. But I am very sincerely grateful to Marvel for extending the offer and even more so for giving me the chance to be a part of the Hulk's long and excellent history."

________

Imagine if Edward Norton really could rage like the Hulk. Let's just say Marvel Studios would have plenty to fear.

The actor's agent is fighting back after this weekend's announcement that his client will not be reprising his role as the green-skinned musclehead for Joss Whedon's upcoming superhero flick, The Avengers.

And, of course, the guessing game of who will land the role has already begun.

Marvel President of Production Kevin Feige said in a statement yesterday that the reason Norton wasn't cast is not because of financial reasons, "but instead rooted in the need for an actor who embodies the creativity and collaborative spirit of our other talented cast members. The Avengers demands players who thrive working as part of an ensemble." HitFix first reported Marvel's decision not to go with Norton.

Blasting Feige's statement as "unprofessional, disingenuous and clearly defamatory," Norton's agent Brian Swardstrom said the Oscar-nominee "was enthusiastic at the prospect of being a part of the ensemble.

"Marvel subsequently made him a financial offer to be in the film and both sides started negotiating in good faith," he continued. "This past Wednesday, after several weeks of civil, uncontentious discussions, but before we had come to terms on a deal, a representative from Marvel called to say they had decided to go in another direction with the part."

Norton's team assumed it was a "financial decision," Swardstrom said, "but, whatever the case, it is completely their prerogative, and we accepted their decision with no hard feelings."

Feige apparently called Swardstrom two months ago to say Marvel wanted Norton as Bruce Banner/The Hulk, even going so far as to say it was "his fantasy to bring Edward on stage with the rest of the cast at ComiCon and make it the event of the convention," according to Swardstrom's statement.

No word yet from Marvel, but if they're still looking to make a splash with a Hulk announcement at ComiCon, they better act fast. The geekapalooza festival kicks off in San Diego, California on July 22.

Could Joaquin Phoenix be the one? Movie website Chud is reporting that the wacky actor has already been offered the part.

Reps for Marvel and Phoenix did not immediately comment.

Edward Norton Fired From 'Incredible Hulk' Sequel

Edward Norton Fired From 'Incredible Hulk' Sequel
JUL 12, 2010 AT 12:14 PM
Something REALLY bad must've been going on behind the scenes for this to happen. Edward Norton, who starred in the film version of 'The Hulk' in 2008, has been fired from the sequel. And the studio isn't even attempting to be diplomatic about it with a rationale of "scheduling conflicts" or anything. Here's their statement:
"We have made the decision to not bring Ed Norton back to portray the title role of Bruce Banner in the Avengers," Marvel said in a statement. Norton, 40, played The Hulk in the 2008 remake.
"Our decision is definitely not one based on monetary factors, but instead rooted in the need for an actor who embodies the creativity and collaborative spirit of our other talented cast members. The Avengers demands players who thrive working as part of an ensemble, as evidenced by Robert, Chris H., Chris E., Sam, Scarlett, and all of our talented casts. We are looking to announce a name actor who fulfills these requirements, and is passionate about the iconic role in the coming weeks."
Ouch.
Here's a statement from Edward's rep:
"This offensive statement from Kevin Feige at Marvel is a purposefully misleading, inappropriate attempt to paint our client in a negative light... This seemed to us to be a financial decision but, whatever the case, it is completely their prerogative, and we accepted their decision with no hard feelings."
What in the world could've been going on for this to happen? Goodness.
Were you a fan of Edward in 'The Hulk'? Would you be willing to go see the sequel with someone else in the lead role?

Edward Norton Releases His Own Statement Regarding Marvel Insult
JUL 12, 2010 AT 08:36 PM
Earlier this morning, INO reported that Marvel Studios released a pretty nasty statement regarding Edward Norton's attitude and announced they are refusing to work with the actor. Well, Ed just released his own statement - and he took the high road.

"I am so appreciative of the outpouring of support from fans of the Hulk and The Avengers that I feel it would be rude not to respond," his statement reads in part.

"So here goes: It seems it won't work out for me to continue playing Bruce Banner for Marvel in The Avengers.

But I am very sincerely grateful to Marvel for extending the offer and even more so for giving me the chance to be a part of the Hulk's long and excellent history."

His statement is nice enough, but you have to wonder if Marvel is telling the truth about his ridiculous behavior. This isn't the first time we heard that rumor. One movie after another produces claims that Ed is a nightmare to work with.

Edward Norton Weighs In on 'Hulk' Controversy
Edward Norton has shared his thoughts on not being asked to reprise his role as the Hulk in 2012’s The Avengers.
Here’s what the 40-year-old actor had to share on his Facebook page:
“As most of you know, I don’t like to talk much about the business of making movies because it means a lot to me to protect the audience’s fullest enjoyment of the “magic” that films can have. But I am so appreciative of the outpouring of support from fans of the Hulk and the Avengers that I feel it would be rude not to respond. So here goes: It seems it won’t work out for me to continue playing Bruce Banner for Marvel in The Avengers.”

Click inside to continue reading Edward’s thoughts on The Avengers…

“I sincerely hoped it could happen and be great for everyone, but it hasn’t turned out as we all hoped. I know this is disappointing to many people and that makes me sad. But I am very sincerely grateful to Marvel for extending the offer and even more so for giving me the chance to be a part of the Hulk’s long and excellent journey.

“And I really can’t thank the fans enough for how much enthusiasm you’ve sent my way about what Louis [Leterrier, The Incredible Hulk's director] and I tried to do in our turn with the legend. It means a lot to me. I grew up with Banner and Hulk and have been a fan of every incarnation. I’m really proud, and very blessed, to have been one of them and will be thrilled to see him live on through other actors. Hulk is bigger than all of us, that’s why we love him, right?

Sincerely,
Edward Norton”

2010-07-01T06:08:00.000-07:00

Stone Movie Trailer
Stone is an upcoming drama thriller movie directed by John Curran based on a play by Angus MacLachlan. The film is starring starring Edward Norton, Robert de Niro and Milla Jovovich. It should be released in 2010. Here’s the movie trailer of Stone:
Plot:
“A convicted arsonist looks to manipulate a parole officer into a plan to secure his parole by placing his beautiful wife in the lawman’s path.”

I really enjoyed that trailer of Stone: I definitely want to check out the movie when it comes out! Edward Norton vs Robert de Niro: what an interesting perspective, and even more interesting with Milla Jovovich to spice things up!

In theaters: April 2, 2010
When Ivy League classics professor Bill Kincaid receives news of the murder of his estranged identical twin brother, Brady (both played by two-time Academy Award® nominee Edward Norton), in a pot deal gone bad, he leaves the world of Northeastern academia to travel back to his home state of Oklahoma. Upon arrival, he finds that reports of his brother’s death are greatly exaggerated, and he’s soon caught up in the dangerous and unpredictable world of drug commerce in the backwaters of the Southwest. In the process, he reconnects with his eccentric mother (Academy Award® winner Susan Sarandon), meets a wise and educated young woman who has bypassed academia in favor of the gentler rhythms of life (Keri Russell), and unwittingly helps his troubled brother settle a score with a pernicious drug lord (Academy Award® winner Richard Dreyfuss) who uses Tulsa, Oklahoma’s small Jewish community for cover. Leaves of Grass follows a twisting narrative path merging crime drama, drug comedy, classical philosophy and sudden violence in pursuit of answering one of humanity’s oldest questions: What does it truly mean to live a happy and constructive life?

Genre:Comedy
Director:Tim Blake Nelson
Cast:Edward Norton, Susan Sarandon, Keri Russell, Richard Dreyfuss

Edward Norton has a Modern Family
Ed Norton is set to guest star on upcoming television series Modern Family on ABC. The show is set to air on Wednesday, September 23 and it’ll be shown in the UK on Sky1 from October this year.
Modern Family is a tongue-in-cheek mockumentary sitcom that will focus on three suburban American families, all very different and unique from each other. Norton will be taking the role of a bassist from a famous band that is hired by one of the families. Other actors currently confirmed for the show are Julie Bowen and Ty Burrell.
Seems like a strange move for Norton to appear on TV, but then it is only a guest appearance and he’s only expected to be in one episode which should air around November.

Salma Hayek and Francois-Henri Pinault kicked off their wedding weekend with a masked gala on Friday night in Venice for all their guests. Celebrity attendees include Charlize Theron and Stuart Townsend, as well as Edward Norton, Woody Harrelson, Antonio Banderas, Melanie Griffith, Penelope Cruz, Javier Bardem, Ashley Judd, and more (Gael Garcia Bernal, Zhang Ziyi, Valeria Golino, Francois Mitterand, Jacques Chirac, Bernadette Chirac, Skin, Riccardo Scamarcio, Stella McCartney, Emir Kusturica, Frida Giannini, Lily Cole, Enrique Murciano). Salma and Francois-Henri's daughter Valentina got to join in the festivities, carried into the awaiting gondolas in the arms of her smiling father. What an amazing way to welcome guests to their wedding — hopefully the bride and groom can focus on the party because the official ceremony part was all the way back on Valentine's Day.
