Edward Norton and Tim Blake Nelson to team up for a "comedic thriller" called LEAVES OF GRASS?!?
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. This project sounds batshit weird... in a good way, of course. Tim Blake Nelson will write, star in and direct LEAVES OF GRASS alongside Edward Norton who will play identical twins, one being a professor at an Ivy League college and the other being a hedonistic pot-smoking career criminal.
Variety describes the movie as a "comedic thriller" but gives no more information on the plot or tone. I love Tim Blake Nelson's character actor work and I can't wait to see what this flick turns out to be.

...one smokes pot and the other is smart. Sounds like me and my brother. One guess which one I am...
-
I'm there!!
-
Would dear queer ol Walt's poem be used in this manly comic adventure?
This writer hopes so -
Love me some Ed Norton.
-
I assume this is in some way connected to the book of poems by the same title. I don't see how.
-
I always thought Edward Norton should do more comedies. I think he has a talent for great timing.

..."make big mess"...
"Hulk SMASH!!!!!!" -
Such verses for my Body let us write, (for we are one,)
That should I after return,
Or, long, long hence, in other spheres,
There to some group of mates the chants resuming,
(Tallying Earth's soil, trees, winds, tumultuous waves,)
Ever with pleas'd smile I may keep on,
Ever and ever yet the verses owning--as, first, I here and now
Signing for Soul and Body, set to them my name -
They'll have to fill it out a lot. I know! Idenitcal twins, only one smokes pot and the other's a college professor!

His hair was AWESOME in Red Dragon!
Seriously though, he should do more comedies. Keeping the faith was mediocre, but it was a first feature. And it starred Ben Stiller. But Norton was excellent in Death to Smoochy (yeah, I watched it) and his comedic skills were obvious even in darker material like Fight Club and The 25th hour. Plus, I dig Tim Blake Nelson. I hope the script is worth the team-up. -
What's next: a straight-to-dvd Howl?
-
if they were cojoined at the head... and where does the "thriller" part come in?
-
A Walt Whitman allusion is enough to pique my curiosity.
-
I loafe and invite my soul, I Lean and loafe at my ease . . . .observing a spear of summer grass.
-
Thus was confused at the plot summary. Will there or won't there be a connection in the movie? If not, this desperately needs a title change.
-
Boom.
-
Monica Lewinski? Because if it is I hope they leave that part out of the movie.
-
...that of a comedic thriller.
-
The duelling personalities of Walt Whitman. Oh, and both characters need to be bi.
