Ed Norton is such a great actor and fun person to listen to. I'm glad hes getting back in the spotlight and able to talk about his achievements in film
It doesn't get much recognition, but I really, REALLY loved 'The Illusionist'.. I watched it twice in a row to catch the subtleties I missed... I thought it was a brilliant movie and performance.👍👍
I never watched it a second time. It came out the exact same time The Prestige came out and The Prestige is already the better movie by far, but some of the plot decisions in The Illusionist just felt so dumb. Now Norton was great in it, but he's always great.
Поддерживаю Вас, тоже смотрю фильм "Иллюзионист" каждый день и всегда без перерыва - Эдвард гениальный актёр и чрезвычайно интересный человек, очень глубокий и выразительный 🌟🏆👁️👁️мы теперь находим и смотрим все фильмы с им его участием❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💣💥💯
It's surprisingly nice to see an actor who actually ages like a normal person... like,, not that he looks bad, he just looks older than he did 20 years ago
Here’s the rub: this cat has been in some great movies, he’s a fantastic actor, seems like a cool guy and to top it all off, he’s been with Salma Hayek. There’s nothing left for him.
He is only going to get better. Brilliant actor and when he talks, seems like a proper straight down the line guy who lives and breathes his characters. He is probably too honest to all the sensitive lovies and gets bad press. The man just says it as it is. Superb actor.
balooko31 Actually, it was the NHL lockout of 2004-05 that created the boom. ESPN needed cheap content to put on the air in a hurry and the WPT/WSOP hole-cam technology was sufficiently well developed by that time. Rounders is the single greatest (probably seminal) poker movie ever made, but the boom was fuelled by TV exposure in 04/05, not due to the movie...
I wish Ed Norton was easier to work with because then we would probably have more performances from him but maybe him being like that has helped him give some of these performances. Either way, I love a lot of Ed Norton’s movies.
Hey, because I respect and understand your comment, while assuming you're probably passionate about movies and actors, I wanna ask: if you could cast Edward Norton in your dream Marvel or DC Role, which exact character would it be please?! After you answer, I'll suggest mine as well 😎😇🤔
Rounders II would be fantastic, but you have to top the acting of John Malkovich. His character of Teddy KGB when poker was very underground like portrayed, was dead-on!
@MrBrenman21 absolutely not. Notorious gambler and poker player, yes, but not even close to being based on his story. Moreso a generalized story of many pros who came up during that era.
@MrBrenman21 for starters I'm a relatively big part of the poker community & am extremely familiar with the history of the game over the past couple decades. You're the one that made the claim, show me the evidence and I'll clarify as to why it's wrong.
As a proofreader and an Ed Norton fan, I'd love to know if it's true that he worked as a proofreader in his early New York days. He seems like a smart guy, so I'm assuming his grammar would be relatively sound.
Even though there's since been a Fight Club sequel graphic novel, I wouldn't WANT a movie sequel, and I'm a massive fan of that thing. And this hadn't occurred to me before, but it'd be interesting to see how his Primal Fear character is doing now, since he did get him off. How many more people has he killed, if at all.
The color of money reference is a great one when i comes to a rounders 2. Huge fan of the hustler and the color of money to a lesser extent but still really liked watching it multiple times. Makes me want rounders 2!
Funny fact: I always thought he was generically sleazy in The Italian Job and I just found out he was contractually obligated to do that movie and he didn’t want to, so he phoned it in and you can tell! That’s almost as amazing as his good movies.
As great as these two movies are, for me....The Score was just a tour de force. "Nice working with you, ace. Okay, bye-bye." One of the most satisfying ends to a movie....ever.
Malkovich would HAVE TO be in any sequel to Rounders. I'd like to see John Turturro return as well. Clearly, Marty Landau won't be back. He was also terrific in the original.
Wait just curious I like that Edward Norton has worked with a lot of different people, Same with Aaron Eckhart! But I can't remember, has Edward worked with Jack Nicholson? Ben Affleck? Al Pacino?
He is hard to work with because I think he is so much smarter the. Some of his directors. Notice the good directors have no problem with him that’s because they are mentally compatible with him while some others have no right to be telling him what to do.
