why did Edward Norton disappear from kinos?
>>217452515at some point you have enough money and maybe you want to do other stuff with your life
>>217452515he didn't seem like he was acting in Birdman.
>>217452515>hard to work with>prefers passion projects>doesn't have much of an audience pull anymore
>>217452515he's a cunt and everyone hated working with him
Brian Cox on Edward Norton>I did 25th Hour with Spike Lee in 2002, and he’s simply one of the best directors I’ve ever worked with. People associate him with African American subject matter, which is fine and fair enough, but they don’t realize that he’s a consummate cineaste. His knowledge of the cinema is second to none.>What’s more, I’ve never known a director to be so diplomatic. Ed Norton was in the film and he’s a nice lad but a bit of a pain in the arse because he fancies himself as a writer-director. He and I had this scene set in the bar owned by my character. Spike set it up immaculately, but Ed came in and was saying, "Now, I’ve done some work on the script and I’ve got a few ideas and I’d like you to think about them. I’ve rewritten a few things in there …">Spike was like, "Oh, good, let me see." He had a look at Ed’s notes and then said, "Well that’s very interesting. Okay, so what we’re going to do now is …" and put Ed very firmly in his place.>It was done beautifully. Seamless. It was taking Ed’s points on board but making sure Ed knew that we were doing things his way. And the fact that he did it without upsetting Ed, who after all does have a reputation for being a little volatile, was really quite an achievement.
>>217452515everyone hates working with him and he's rich enough to never work again.I wonder what his hobbies are?
Career's been pretty grim the last ten years.2016>Sausage Party - stoner comedy>Collateral Beauty - will smith fantasy drama2017>Guardian Brothers - chinese animation2018>Isle of Dogs - obligatory Wes Anderson recast>Gotti - golden raspberry "biographical" crime film2019>Alita: Battle Angel - lol lmao>Motherless Brooklyn - $18M box office against $26M budget2020>N/A2021>French Dispatch - obligatory Wes Anderson recast2022>Glass Onion - Netflix movie2023>Asteroid City - obligatory Wes Anderson recast2024>A Complete Unknown - timothee chalamet as bob dylan2025>N/ARemember the 90s? Primal Fear, People v Larry Flint, American History X, Fight Club. Wish we could go back, bros.
>>217452515where the fuck is American history x2 damnit? old man vineyard recruiting new members and shooting niggers and whatnot? maybe a heist or something GTA like
>>217452614Sounds like Brain Cox wants the BBC
>>217452614spike lee? lol that worthless piece of shit? hack garbage is all that lil bitch makes
>>217452709>Motherless Brooklynthis was his modus operandi, his magnum opus..... and it sucked. I've passed gas with more cultural impact. It ultimately broke him and he's effectively retired now. Non of the coll directors will work with him and he views capeshit as degrading now.
>>217452532wdym he is literally in one major movie every year since 2020?>>217452614every great actor is a little "volatile" and this story actually make it sound like Spike Lee is the manipulative rigid bitch here kek
>>217452515He has a personality that people only ever want to work with him once and at this stage he’s worked with everyone. Guys like Leo’s career are carried by working with the same directors several times.
>>217452773>people only ever want to work with him onceactually thinking that when he keeps working with Wes Anderson yeah... you are a retard kek
He's deleted his twitter now but he was more about that activist life than Mark Ruffalo, I'm pretty sure he was blacklisted somewhat for openly criticising Rupert Murdoch.
>>217452614Brian sucks cox
>>217452709He should have directed something, indie shit with full creative control maybe? as actor he was a bit problematic.
>>217452515He's a narcissist that loves the smell of his own farts. He will come on set and rewrite entire scenes and automatically believe his version to be the superior version and throw a baby fit if a director throws it in the trash and tells him he's idiot.
he was killing me with his role in Rounders I watched the other day
They should make Fight Club 2 before him, Brad and Helena get too old
>>217452614Brian Cox was in 25th hour?? wtf I don't remember him
i liked birdman
>>217452515He accomplished things
>>217452515He refused further sacrifices to Moloch
>>217453015He was the dad.
>>217453140yeh I looked it upI only watched that movie once, in the theaters
>>217452905
>>217452709Wes Anderson's been doing some heavy lifting with that career.
>>217452515Painted Veil + Motherless Brooklyn are his skill level.
>>217452635drone racing and wh40k figurines
>>217453227Wes Anderson is just here to disprove the narrative that nobody wants to work with him more than once. Doubt Norton gets/got major cash from any W.A movies. Norton was and still is an amazing actor however: even half-assing a minor role, he mogged everyone in that Dylan biopic
>>217452515he was the only good part of the Bob Dylan movie.
Too many death threats due to being associated to Norton Antivirus by name.
>>217452515Everyone hates him because he starts changing the character or the screenplay in the middle of shooting
>>217454643riiiight... must be why the mega perfectionist control freak wes anderson keeps casting him in his movies, Retardo.
>>217452515He didn't want people to find out he is a faggot
I think fight club SUCKS
>>217452515HE BECAME A MALE PROSTITUTE
>>217452614Norton wanted his character to eat some flowers or something stupid like that, Spike was in the right
>>217454963but why male prostitutes?
>>217452515He rejected the slop modern (((Hollywood))) was pushing and got labeled as "hard to work with" as a result.
he's a pretentious faggot that needs to be slapped
>>217452709>>A Complete UnknownI actually forgot he was in that, he was pretty good
>>217454844He only plays small parts in his movies so he can be easily replaced. But when he tried to add faggotry in American History X he ruined the movie. He tried to do the same thing with Hulk and he never played Hulk again, even though his version of Hulk was part of the avengers universe.
>>217454574Yeah but all of those death threats came from McAfee who was just doing it for shits and giggles in between his hourly street walker golden showers.
>>217455155you are full of shit, parroting whatever leddit post you googled I bet. yeah bro! he totally ruined the critically acclaimed American History X which he received an academy award nom for!he also tried and succeeded in elevating his Hulk, unlike Ruffalhack, but it was a bit too far for Marvel creative slop commitees. He even thanked the fans when Marvel publicly accused him of tanking the movie (his acting was the only good part btw) because he is a class act. He is "difficult to work with" in the same way Bale or Leo are: actors far beyond the mediocrity of most hollywood hack writers and directors.
