Things Ed Norton Is and Isn’t Doing
October 22, 2008
He is producing a a documentary about Barack Obama. He joined up with two filmmakers, Amy Rice and Alicia Sams, to follow Obama’s assent to national leadership since 2006. They plan to go all the way through the end of presidential campaign. He hasn’t said much about it, except that it’s happening and he’s very excited about it. I think it’s very cool that there will be this record of the campaign after it’s over, with so much that we would never see in the media, regardless of the ultimate outcome of the election.
He is busily promoting Pride and Glory. A clip of his interview with The Movie Guy is below. It’s always fun to listen to Ed talk about acting. He’s incredibly articulate about his craft.
He isn’t going to be in a sequel to The Incredible Hulk. Am I the only one who read this interview? The one where he’s all “meh”? “I have no idea…who knows”, whatever, who cares. Homeboy is over it. Marvel is still being coy about the whole thing, but, really. If there were a serious offer on the table for Ed, he’s certainly smart enough not to mouth off about it. There isn’t a offer and I sincerely doubt he’ll ever do another Marvel movie. In the comics, Bruce Banner eventually gives way entirely to his Hulk alter-ego (IOW, you never see Bruce, just the Hulk). I would bet good money that the studio will go straight for this storyline in future projects.
