Here’s the trailer for Leaves of Grass, starring Edward Norton… and Edward Norton.  Edward Norton plays his own twin, but instead of being a softball-sized growth on his shoulder that was removed like Andy Garcia, he’s a pot dealer from Oklahoma.

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.

The trailer begins with Norton as the pot-dealer brother, speaking in a preposterous country accent which seems like the typical, condescending treatment Hollywood gives movies about the country.  But considering the positive reviews, and given that Norton generally picks good projects, and director Tim Blake Nelson is actually from Oklahoma, I’m gonna give it the benefit of the doubt and assume there’s more going on here than we can see from this.  Also, I think the “grass” in the title might refer to marijuana.  Because that’s what old people call it, you see.

Last we heard anything about the Ed Norton/Colin Farrell cop drama Pride and Glory, it was getting bumped from its March release and getting put on hold indefinitely, which might have had something to do with it looking exactly like We Own the Night.

At one point, director Gavin O’Connor (Miracle) was threatening to withhold his next script due for New Line, Warriors (“Gladiator set within a family of mma fighters”) until the film was released.  It’s now slated for an October release, and I’ve got the new trailer after the jump.

I’m glad it’s finally coming out, because at the very least, we’ll get another taste of Colin Farrell’s New York accent, which I’ve been craving ever since Phone Booth.  Ey, yo, fuggeddaboutit ova heuh, Tony make da best gabba gool *gestures at crotch*.  It’s like watching a dog walk on its hind legs.  Maybe not believable, but it’s pretty cute when he tries.

I think they should’ve called it Gritty N Tha City

After the jump, I’ve got the newest trailer for Louis Leterrier/Ed Norton’s upcoming The Incredible Hulk.  In this trailer, everything they say to him seems to take him one step closer to the edge (and he’s about to break).

I still don’t know how a scene with 25 minutes of CGI-buff-dude-on-CGI-buff-dude violence will be all that interesting, unless it also involves lactating, an afterbirth, or spontaneous prolapse.  What can I say, I’m a simple man who enjoys the simple pleasures. -Thanks to Liam for the tip

Yahoo has a bunch of new pictures from The Incredible Hulk (trailer here), coming June 13th.  There’s a pic of Tim Roth’s hella sick armband tattoo (he also has a tramp stamp that says 99% angel, 1% abomination), but mostly it’s hulk getting pissed and smashing stuff.  He reminds me of myself when I go to the beach and kick the shit out little kids’ sand castles.  RAWR, HULK SMASH! I yell.  Sometimes they get mad, but that’s why I wear the helmet.

Everyone knows that in 2003, Ang Lee made a crappy Hulk movie.  What this movie presupposes is, maybe he didn’t? </Royal Tenenbaums reference>

Anyway, here it is: the first trailer for Edward Norton and Louis Leterrier’s redo of the Incredible Hulk.  The release date is tentatively set for June, but rumor has it Norton and Marvel are arguing over the final cut.  You see, Norton had planned for the Hulk to get angry and smash things, but Marvel thought that might be a little too… you know.  

In any case, the trailer looks decent, if unspectacular.  It certainly doesn’t send the blood rushing to my loins the way Iron Man, or Thomas Kinkade paintings do.  I’m also a little concerned that the big finale appears to involve two buff CGI dudes fighting each other.  Isn’t that basically like watching someone else play a video game about wrestling?  GRR, PILEDRIVER!
