First pic of Edward Norton as twins in Tim Blake Nelson's LEAVES OF GRASS hits the web!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. This movie pretty much just blipped on my radar screen for the first time a couple weeks ago. I'd heard there was some Ed Norton movie shooting in Louisiana, but I didn't really start looking into it until recently.
This could be the best movie ever... Edward Norton plays twins, both geniuses... one's an academic, a college professor, the other is a pot-grower in Oklahoma... and the pot grower is actually the more brilliant one, creating a strain of marijuana that is the perfect smoke.
So that's Norton playing 2 roles and on top of that they have Melanie Lynskey... who is one of my biggest all time crushes (Kiwi girls really get to me), Susan Sarandon as the Norton twins mother, Kerri Russell as a noodler and, perhaps the single greatest thing ever... Richard Dreyfuss as a drug lord.
Those are just the tip of the iceberg snippets I found out when I interviewed Tim Blake Nelson about this project yesterday. Look for that interview to hit either this weekend or next week, but in the mean time here's a look at Edward Norton in the flick... click to make big!

let's get baked
-
Just more of him to love, the good and the bad!
-
and making the photo that big makes it really easy to see where they spliced the shots!
-
The Norton on the right looks like he's pointing to someone sat next to the Norton on the left....
-
So I have an acting teacher who plays a rival pot grower in this movie and apparently he shoots pot-Ed Norton with a bow and arrow.
I am so psyched. -
Looking at larger image, I can also tell that they are drinking Avery Brewing's India Pale Ale. Not only is he a pothead, he's a hophead :P
-
All bets are off, most anticipated movie of 09. You had me at the other is a pot-grower in Oklahoma. Though I would like to point out, Oklahoma is better known for its meth, thank you very much.
-
after this movie is out they are going to legalise pot ?
-
That's like Parent Trap bad splicing. Anyway the one w/ the longer hair looks like Paul Dano, who did his own role as twins.
-
Damn, I can't wait to see this! Twin Ed Nortons, both geniuses, Susan Sarandon, Richard Dreyfuss as a drug lord... I'm so there on opening weekend.
-
Then count me out! Although, I do like Edward Norton, so maybe you can count me in.
Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself, I am large I contain multitudes. -
... which one is supposed to "look" like a college professor? With such talents as Norton and Nelson, I'd question whether this project would play into the stereotypes, here...
-
box over the bong. :D
-
It would be so much cooler, and against cliche, if the long haired tatooed Norton was the prof, and the straight arrow Norton was the pot grower...Could be the best twins movie since Adaptation. Tell me Cage didn't shine in that...
-
Ya beat me to it brother.
-
with a brilliant Jeremy Irons. Do we open up this TB with favorite twin movies..?
-
Hey UndeadXeke, I thought the same thing... in motion, I am sure it will be fine... but that picture looks like the Norton on the right is pointing and looking to the left of the Norton on the left... WEIRD! Just off enough to grab your eye.
-
You're right. The eye lines are off. The left side Norton is looking straight ahead. The right side has his head turned slightly to his right.
-
I hate you, Walt freaking Whitman!
-
I love Norton. Looking forward to his doc about Obama's campaign.

the pentagon just confirmed it.
-
Just watched Adaptation a few weeks ago and that movie still kicks serious ass and it's one of the few roles where I actually like cage.
"A little push, push in the bush!!!" -
I love Edward Norton. I think he's one of the most talented and brilliant actors out there. To get a double dose of him as a genius is just too delicious for words. I'm so there. Can't wait!!!!
-
First live action portrayal of the monster who kills superman!!!!! anyone?

Not Ruling Out the Possibility of This Being Good BUT
by chaplinatemyshoe
Post-Hayek Norton hasn't exactly had the best taste in movies. And the supporting cast sounds like it could swing either away on the good bad scale.
-
Isn't playing twins the " jumping the shark" of acting? It rarely seems to wrk that well , and only a couple have been great. ( Jeremy Irons in Dead Ringers is one) . I dunno , it just always distracts me for some reason.
-
Uh...whatever noodling is...
-
catfishing with your bare hands you let the catfish swallow your arm and then pull it out of the water
-
...respectfully, I will decline to click. Sounds like fun though...
-
Best Twin movie EVER "DON'T TALK BACK YAKKITY YAK"
-
as ably illustrated in Tropic Thunder is portraying a reta...I'm mean mentally challenged individual.
-
And since Norton played a guy pretending to be challenged in The Score, where does that put him?
-
Double Impact..don't fuck with Van Damme.
-
"One packs a punch One packs a Piece together they deliver "Love that Van Damme
-
Lazy goddamn hippies. Spoiled bitches out to selfishly ruin everything. When I'm President, I'll pass a law that lets civilians shoot smokers, no questions asked.
-
I only remember the opening with the baby Dammes being separated. I laughed at how ridiculous I knew the movie would be.

So the leader is directing a movie about bruce banner twins?
by indyabbey jones
will the Tony stark triplets show up after the credits to set up the avengers movie?
-
"Leaves" disappointed. Oh, and sorry about that pun. O. Henry competition coming up sometime.
-
.... you sound like you could use a good toke, dude. Lighten up.
-
...and this is wayyy more like it. I'm psyched. But I bet getting high with Edward Norton in real life would suck.
-
please elaborate on why you think it would suck.

People who shoot pot smokers should be analy violated by bears

Suck my joint.
-
Four Edwards!
-
Awww.. wife vote for Obama? Need a hug?
-
I find Edward Norton annoying enough lately in just one role, let alone two.
-
Suck my 12-guage.
-
A picture of Ed Norton! (the actor who used to do really interesting movies) Stop the presses!
-
has to teach a college class, and the professor gets involved in a big marijuana deal. Hilarity ensues.

Let Me Guess - The Pot Smoker Brother is Actually All in His Min
by somashine
I am Jack's obvious talkback observation
-
Edward Norton looking like Edward Norton.....STILL, i loveeve MR Norton,so ill be going to see this either way
-
as the stoner?
-
someone had to say it.
-
The other one will be able to do the publicity.
-
And he's about to tell himself he likes is white shirt, it's nice and frilly
-
the cake so bviously photoshopped, maybe just on the image, not in actual shot.
And maybe the clean-cut Norton is pointing not to his twin but something else, like door, or trashbin, or his stash of pot... -
It's shockingly easy to see the seam, but my eyes fall for it when it's in a smaller form. But yes indeed, the Norton on the right seems to be looking a little to the side of the norton on the left. And I agree that the Norton on the left should be the teacher.
-
Maybe this will make up for his wimp role in Poseidon.
-
Pot Smokin' Alien in ages.
-
morons.
-
Yea, but I'd trade my life with Willie Nelson's in a second. Well, not the grizzled 70-year old part, but you know what I mean...

They should have a flashback scenes after the credits.
by cotton mcknight
Bill Clinton giving Monica that book right after getting a bj.
-
Ed Norton really is. I cringed at him doing that Hulk movie this summer, but thankfully, it'll probably be a one-time thing. *hopes*. This is much more like it. Ed Norton pushing the envelope and himself. I like.
-
How the hell is Clark going to stop that mofo?
-
that one of the ed nortons is being played by christain bale.
-
Looks like a lot of the profs at my College. Of course most of them grew pot, too.
