Jeremy Renner stars in the spin-off/reboot of the Bourne franchise The Bourne Legacy, and now we’re getting a look at how director Tony Gilroy is handling the reset button in the film’s first trailer. With that title it means that Matt Damon‘s Jason Bourne is going to hover over the film – though it’s hard to say for how long of the running time. Check out the teaser…
At this point, it’s easy to know what to expect from Wes Anderson. Great Performers, a distinct visual style, and maybe just maybe some twee. In Moonrise Kingdom there’s Bill Murray, Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, Frances McDormand, Tilda Swinton and Jason Schwartzman in a story about two star-crossed child lovers who escape from a summer camp, which leads to a full scale rescue mission. The film opens May 25, and now there’s a trailer.
Edward Norton‘s had a rocky path in Hollywood, partly by his own making. Known for tinkering with scripts, he’s done films out of contractual obligation, and never courted an easy path. And yet Hollywood keeps coming back, perhaps because he is rather talented. Perhaps he’s finally made peace with working within the industry, because he’s the leading contender for the role of the villain in Tony Gilroy‘s upcoming Bourne reboot The Bourne Legacy, according to Variety.
Wes Anderson is busy wrangling together the cast for his next movie entitled Moon Rise Kingdom. In typical Anderson fashion, it will feature the usual suspects such as Bill Murray, and a few new faces. According to Deadline, several big name actors are circling the project including Edward Norton, Tilda Swinton, Frances McDormand, and Bruce Willis, yes we said Bruce Willis!
Stone hits theaters with a thump. This is a film packed to the brim with ideas and a lot of potential. The fact that you have Robert De Niro and Edward Norton facing off in some pretty intense scenes definitely helps the film as a whole. Sadly it lacks any grand significance in the end that you’ll be craving after going through such an intense experience — but then again, that might just be the point, you don’t always get what you want.

John Curran, the writer of The Killer Inside Me, and the director of The Painted Veil and We Don’t Live Here Anymore, bring us yet another tricky film to contemplate, Stone. The project was written by Angus McLachlan and directed by himself. We first saw a trailer for this film back in September ’09 (which we had to take down) and as of this summer they’ve updated their trailer and have finally been pushing the film for release.
Though the story seems to be the usual crime twist with Robert De Niro and Edward Norton, but once you add in Milla Jovovich’s character everything’s up in the air. If there’s one thing that’s for sure it’s that Curran knows how to take his audience on both physical and mental journeys.
Check out the full poster and synopsis below…
Robert De Niro and Edward Norton reunite for the indie drama Stone, directed by John Curran. The Stone trailer debut today, and from the looks of it, the movie seems more like the story of a love-triangle with a crime twist. Movies with love-triangles are overrated, and sadly, it’s always the woman who’s called a whore, but when two men like De Niro and Norton are involved, all clichés go out the window, especially when the woman is Milla Jovavich. Check out the trailer…
Early this morning we reported on the horrendous news that Edward Norton is no longer a part of the Marvel universe. The actor who took over the role of Bruce Banner aka The Hulk in 2008 was rumored to appear in the Marvel team up movie The Avengers in 2012 along with Robert Downey Jr as Iron Man, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Chris Evans as Captain America, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, and Don Cheadle as War Machine. Then it was announced by studio head Kevin Feige that the actor would NOT appear in the film and would be getting replaced.
After the huge backlash from fans yearning for a real answer behind this decision, Norton himself has sent out an official statement to let us know his feelings on the matter…
Update: Edward Norton has released an official statement regarding his recasting.
One of the biggest questions hovering over Marvel’s Avengers movie (besides Chris Evans ability to play a believable leader) was whether or not Edward Norton would return to play Bruce Banner aka The Hulk. According to several reports this weekend the character will appear in the film but the actor will not. The studio has dropped the ridiculously talented Norton like a hot potato and it looks like they’ve already got a replacement in mind.
