According to comingsoon.net, Edward Norton and Tim Blake Nelson will team for a second time on Leaves Of Grass. The pair are currently working together on Louis Leterrier's The Incredible Hulk.
In the Leaves of Grass, Norton will play twin brothers, one a philosophy professor and the other a low life criminal who gets his more straight-laced brother into a bit of a pickle with a gang of murderous potheads. Nelson's role is not yet known. Norton will also direct, with Nelson producing.
We still find it odd that Norton gravitates towards comedy for his directing work, given that so much of his acting is in intense dramas. Maybe he's looking for some contrast. Norton's directing debut was the solid, but overlooked, comedy Keeping The Faith, so we're curious to see what he might do with something this broad.
