Edward Norton's "Leaves of Grass" Trailer

Now this looks awesome.

Leaves of Grass is basically a pot comedy thriller.
It stars Edward Norton in two roles as identical twins, Susan Sarandon as their mom, and Richard Dreyfuss as a drug lord.

The film is written and directed by Tim Blake Nelson, who you probably know from the Coen Brothers' film O Brother, Where Art Thou?



Here's the official plot synopsis:

“Edward Norton is Bill Kincaid, an Ivy League classics professor, who returns to rural Oklahoma to bury his dangerously brilliant identical twin brother, only to discover that the brother he believes to have been murdered has lured him home to involve him in a doomed plot against a local drug lord. Before Bill can flee, he’s implicated in a murder, and his life has become completely unraveled…”

Susan Sarandon joins Wall Street 2

Susan Sarandon has joined the cast of Wall Street 2, the sequel to the award winning original. She is set to play Shia LeBeouf's mom. This doesn't really come as a surprise, lady can act! She is in the upcoming The Lovely Bones and won an Oscar for Dead Man Walking.

The sequel is being written by Allan Loeb. Also cast so far are: Frank Langella and Michael Douglas, who will play the same character as the first film, Gordon Gekko. Oliver Stone is directing the film. Looks like they're pulling all the stops and hiring real actor chops. Looking forward to this.

Quickie: The Lovely Bones featurette

The Lovely Bones looks like it's going to be an amazing film. Based on a best selling novel, the movie is directed by Peter Jackson. It stars Mark Wahlberg, Susan Sarandon and Rachel Weisz. Here is a featurette on the movie.

Quickie: Peter Jackson's The Lovely Bones trailer

I have to admit, Peter Jackson is one of my favorite directors today. His work on The Lord of the Rings trilogy really changed the way movies are made. His King Kong wasn't my favorite, in fact, I hated it. But that doesn't mean everyone else didn't love it. Agree to disagree I always say. His latest film is The Lovely Bones, based on the best selling novel. It stars Mark Wahlberg, Rachel Weisz, Susan Sarandon and Stanley Tucci. Impressive cast!

The movie is about a girl named Susie who is murdered at the age of 14. She goes to "her perfect world" and looks over her family.... and her killer! In the meantime her father (Wahlberg) is relentless in finding the killer. The visuals of Susie's world is breathtaking, and we'd expect nothing less from Jackson.
