First I would like to say, I have not been updating this site ever since I returned to College. I have less assignments left which means I can update this website more often! I have been thinking of a new layout for Only Edward Norton's birthday. If you created any templates, please send them in! I already created a new header and I can't wait to use it. Don't forget to return for updates. I plan on adding more screencaps and video clips. For now here are some news from September.

++ Ed Norton hopes cop genre film 'Pride and Glory' speaks to America's bigger issues  9th September, The Canadian Press by Gregory Bonnell

++Bob Thompson: Edward Norton might Hulk up again but won’t commit either way   10 September 2008, by Bob Thompson National Post
Edward Norton wanted to leave the past behind him Tuesday. For those few who may have missed it, Norton was frustrated with the shorter cut and the more mainstream edit of The Incredible Hulk when the comic book action flick hit theatres in June. He let the media know by leaking those thoughts then excusing himself from a series of Hulk interviews.
At the Four Seasons Hotel promoting his Toronto International Film Festival entry Pride and Glory, Norton was even less interested in rehashing the squabble. Perhaps that’s because the rebooted $150 million Hulk picture earned a respectable $244 million world wide, a definite cure for any movie controversy.
The 39-year-old also wouldn’t discuss when or if his Hulk might enter another picture or even if he would be up for a portrayal redo of the Green Monster/Dr. Bruce Banner in a Marvel Comics all-star Avengers feature with Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.). The superhero confederacy was hinted at near the conclusion of The Incredible Hulk.
Certainly, Marvel has future plans for variations on the Avenger theme with or without Norton as the Hulk. In fact, there are two Avenger superhero flicks in the works. The First Avenger: Captain America is tentatively set for release in the spring of 2011 followed by The Avengers, which would follow that summer.
The serious-minded Norton was more talkative when it came to the cop crime thriller Pride and Glory which opens in October after two years of release delays. In it, Norton plays one of a family of New York City’s finest who gets caught up in the police corruption of a few bad men. They may or may not include some family members.
Besides Norton, there is Jon Voight and Colin Farrell doing their Pride and Glory emoting. But one scribe was clearly a Norton fan during the press conference. In the process of asking her how-do-you-choose-roles? query, she noted that Norton always selects intelligent, challengng movies to show off his actor skills.
The Oscar-honoured actor’s smirk became a smile when he replied. “Obviously, you’ve seen Death To Smoochy,” he said, referring to the universally loathed 2002 comedy he did with Robin Williams.

++Edward Norton Loves a Challenge   11 September 2008, by Katherine Monk, Dose
TORONTO -- Barack Obama and Ed Norton are sharing a passion, but they can't really talk about it right now. They don't want to taint Obama with the stain of celebrity, or manipulate American voters with a feature-length documentary about the African-American presidential contender.
"We're making a historical record, not something to play a role in the election. So we have an agreement with (the campaign) that we won't talk about this, or publicize it until the election is over. I can't talk about access; (but) it's a fascinating thing to document."
What Norton is happy to discuss is his role in Gavin O'Connor's new film, Pride and Glory, premiering here before its Oct. 26 North American release.
A story about corrupt cops working in New York City, Pride and Glory was apparently shaped by O'Connor's knowledge of the force, something gleaned during his upbringing. O'Connor's father was a cop, and both Gavin and his twin brother Gregory -- who acts as producer on the project -- made sure the script passed muster with their expert source.
In the hard-boiled and verite-shot film, Norton plays detective Ray Tierney -- a man who begins to question his ideals, loyalty and morality when he's called on to investigate a cop killing and a fellow member of the force, played by Colin Farrell.
For Norton, the classic "actor's actor," the chance to sink his teeth into a role with so much ambiguity was the reason he remained attached to the project while it languished in search of financing.
"I started off just liking Gavin's films," says Norton. "I loved Tumbleweeds and thought it was nuanced and a wonderful piece of work. And his hockey movie (Miracle) was so different, but also had this great performance from Kurt Russell. There was a lot of truth in the characters."
He says every actor prefers a challenge.
"I think we're all trying to find something meaty to work with, or frankly, something that's hard. You get into this (business) because you want to sort of try to pin down things that are complicated or hard about people," he says. "All people are paradoxical. No one is easily reducible, so I like characters who have contradictory impulses or shades of ambiguity. It's fun and it's fun because it's hard."
Norton says when he started reading the script, he realized most of the character's backstory and personality were revealed through other people talking about him, not the character talking about himself.
"I went along and thought, what's the deal with this guy? A lot of writers will telegraph things to you so you understand the character, so to leave a lot of empty spaces in the character was interesting."
Norton is known for taking on material that presents significant challenges, but he says he's not a genre snob and his resume proves it. The actor has appeared in such Hollywood formula pieces as The Italian Job, The Score and most recently, The Incredible Hulk.
"I like doing genre films because sometimes, they are just fun to do. If you can do a fun poker movie, that's fun... and it's fun to play cops and robbers. But I started to have a special interest in this project when I thought this could actually be something that's reflecting the moment we are going through -- in terms of a nation and as a culture -- regarding a sense of ethics."
Norton says the production delays on Pride and Glory have worked to the project's advantage because so much has happened in the U.S. in recent times.
"We had the whole torture scandals and discussions, not to say that Gavin had consciously referred to that. But the more I looked at the script and what was going on, the more it was starting to have an extra resonance for me because on some level it's about the difficulty of speaking truth to power. . . . "Pride and Glory may look like a cop drama, but on some level it's about the broader cultural moment we find ourselves in right now."

++Five Fast Takes from Toronto   14 September 2008, by Richard Corliss, Time
Pride and Glory Directed by Gavin O'Connor. Written by Joe Carnahan and O'Connor, from a story by O'Connor, Gregory O'Connor and Robert Hopes. With Edward Norton, Colin Farrell, Jon Voight, Noah Emmerich, Jennifer Ehle. From the U.S.
In a drug bust, four NYPD officers are ambushed and killed. The men were under the command of Capt. Francis Tierney (Emmerich), who comes from a family of Irish cops: his dad (Voight), brother Ray (Norton) and brother-in-law Jimmy Egan (Ferrell) are all on the force. So when Ray reluctantly takes the job of investigating the crime, his sleuthing leads to evidence of an inside job, and forces him into conflict with one or two bad apples in the Tierney brood. With its twisty plot that has Ray trekking through the lower depths of Harlem and Brooklyn, and the higher depths of cop corruption, this movie (in theaters Oct. 24) should have been way better than it is; it lurches between the numbingly banal and the laughably awful.
The convergence of an Oscar winner (Voight), an Oscar nominee (Norton), an Oscar wanna-be (Farrell) and a Tony winner (Ehle) ought at least to provide solid acting, and in stretches it manages that. Voight, navigating some dreadful dialogue, doesn't make a misstep; Norton executes his usual business of revealing little but threatening plenty; and Ehle, her head shaved as a cancer patient, deftly underplays her function of providing the poignant feminine touch. But by the the movie's climax, which discards the standard sibling shootout for bare-knuckles barroom machismo, and throws in the instant insanity of a secondary character that nearly stokes a race riot, Pride and Glory has waived all rights to a dispassionate verdict. It's glum and goofy enough make to We Own the Night, the requisite serioso cop drama from last year's festival circuit, seem a masterpiece by comparison. . . more

This year's Democratic National Convention (DNC) is becoming a haven for Hollywood A-listers - Ben Affleck, Quentin Tarantino and Spike Lee have reportedly booked their appearances at the event.
The convention - taking place next month in Denver, Colorado - became a hit in the music scene after booking acts including Kanye West, Pharrell Williams and Wyclef Jean to perform. Event organizers have yet to release an official list of confirmed performers and talent.
But DNC spokesman Damon Jones confirms: "We are expecting lots of people to be here, big names, small names and everyday American names."
Other celebrities guests expected to attend the convention include: Warren Beatty, Annette Bening, Susan Sarandon, Forest Whitaker and actor-turned-director Ed Norton - who is working on a documentary about Obama.

++Comic-Con: 'Incredible Hulk' screenwriter Zak Penn discusses strife with Edward Norton 25 July 2008, by Vanessa Juarez ew.com
Yes, [the fallout] prevented me from collaborating with him [during production]. I don't really know the guy, he has his own process and he chose to do it the way he wanted to do it. That said, I kept in touch with the people making the movie — but he, you know, has his own particular way of working and...it was unusual. I really don't know, I wasn't there, I was off making another movie, so it wasn't a situation where I was banging on the door saying, 'Let me come to the set.' But that was disappointing, I won't deny it. I wasn't happy with him coming to Comic-Con saying that he wrote the script. I can't tell you that made me go back and watch Fight Club." . . . more

Edward Norton just believes that he can make the film great. He wants to be apart of the movie too. When he believes in his ideas, he wants to make it happen. It may be hard for some people to work with him, but as long as the film comes out great, there really is no problem.

Added the Glen Wilson photoshoots to the gallery. Edward Norton is smokin'. I also changed the look of onlyedwardnorton.blackapplehost to a simple graphic link to the gallery and the home. Before it was the first look of the website, which wasn't ready for opening. I orginally wanted to use blackapplehost but I could not upload certain pictures because they exceeded the limit. Enough talk. Check the images out HERE.

Here is an interview by Drew Barrymore. I don't know if this is real or not. I found it from findarticles.com. Judge for yourself whether it is real or not.

++ Edward Norton Interview, by Drew Barrymore April, 1996
DREW BARRYMORE: I'm going to start at the very beginning, if that's O.K.
EDWARD NORTON: All I should say is, this is my first time.
DB: I know. I'm very excited I get to break your interview cherry.
EN: So go easy on me.
DS: I will, I will. Now, tell me where you're from.
EN: I'm from Columbia, Maryland. But, I would rather not go too much into that side of things for personal and professional reasons.
DB: You're a tough nut to crack, Norton. When did you start acting?

Added tons of images into the gallery! These include random premieres and photocalls, The Illusionist premiere and the Illusionist promotional movie stills.

I also added two awesome movie clips into the clips section. Interviews are a lot harder to obtain. If you come to this fansite often, you'll see the word 'awesome' written repeatively, not because of my poor vocabulary, it's just my 'catch phrase'. Lame I know. Hope you enjoy the media updates!

I love the next article. If you ask me, I prefer Edward Norton not being in the spotlight than causing scandals and always being in the tabloids. What do you think?

++ Why Edward Norton is Under-Publicized by the Media.... Is the Publicity Game Fair? 08 Feb 2007, Renee Morway
Norton does not do things in his personal life that are outrageous or over-the-top to cause the media to bombard you with his name. You do not see Norton proposing at the Eiffel Tower. You do not hear wild tales about his secret love child, legal problems, or sexcapades. Norton does not exploit or allow his personal life to be exploited for the sake of publicity. You never see Edward Norton pull any cheap publicity stunts. He keeps it clean. He keeps it real and he keeps it about the work. He prefers to keep his private life just that, private!
Do Norton and other celebrities who desire privacy pay a price for it? Are they deprived of publicity they deserve and have earned through their work? Do the media give actors and celebrities more credit for their personal shenanigans than their talent?
Who cares, right? These celebrities make so much frigging money they get paid to be harassed and have their personal lives torn to shreds for the entire world to see, right?
Wrong! The way I see it, an actor is paid to entertain us on the screen. When we pay $11.00 for a movie ticket it entitles us to see the character the actor portrays, that's it, nothing more. $11.00 barely buys anything nowadays, never mind carte blanche admission into a person's private life. When I pay my dentist or cat sitter for their services, which is much more than $11.00 by the way, it does not make me privy to all of their personal business. It is a good thing, too, because I do not want to know, just like I do not want to know about actors. I never could understand the morbid fascination John and Jane Q Public have with actors' private lives.
Now, I hear some people say that actors put themselves in public life, in the spotlight, and that they know what they are getting into when they enter the acting profession. They claim that huge paychecks are grounds for actors to put up with the paparazzi and all of the bull. I say, "Bull!" The public puts actors in the spotlight because they are so insatiably nosy. Celebrity rags and hound dog reporters put actors in the spotlight because they are so desperately greedy to make a buck. The celebrity gossip industry is a multi-gazillion dollar industry and that is why actors' private lives are splattered all over the world. If there was no money in it, you can bet your bananas it would not happen. Of course, some actors are guilty of trying to suck every ounce of publicity out of the celebrity gossip circuit cow's teat until they gag on globs of guzzled money. So, when you think about it, you really have to admire an actor like Edward Norton who does not resort to cheap publicity stunts... more

Here's an old article published in December 2006 where the reviewer compared the book to the film. I don't want to read the book. I love the film. It's simply perfect. It is Definitely the best performance by Edward Norton, and he is impressive in all of his movies.

++ A Plague Infects the Land, as Passion Vexes Hearts Even better, the new film gives us ample opportunity to spend time with Ms. Watts, whose remarkable talent helps keep movie faith and love alive, even in the tinniest, tiniest vehicles. This version of “The Painted Veil” has been transparently adapted to flatter its leading man, who coaxed the film into existence over a number of years and, with Ms. Watts, serves as one of its producers.
Dry as dust on the page and nearly as hard to grab hold of, Walter registers as a far more robust character on the screen. The novel centers on Kitty and contains large swaths of her cogitating and fretting by way of the third person narration, but the film opens up the story to embrace her and Walter more equally . . .more

Here are the reports on Hollywood Box Office Chart. The Incredible Hulk is number five after only being released for three weeks. So far it has made a total of $115,859,210, with last week making $9,577,245. It is above The Love Guru. Thank God. I like Mike Myers, but it's starring Justin Timberlake and I don't want to watch him act. It's too painful. It's opened worldwide! Go check it out and support Edward Norton. If you've seen it, write your opinion of the film.

Edward Norton is getting some bad press about his Diva like behaviour.

++ Norton Behaves Like a Hulk, New York Post March 14, 2008 -- THEY might want to create a new Oscar for Edward Norton: Hollywood's Biggest Pain in the Butt. Word is Norton is warring with Marvel Studios over the final cut of "The Incredible Hulk," which he wrote and stars in but is threatening not to promote. The temperamental star's rep denied any serious friction, insisting: "Edward was brought on board by Marvel as a producer, screenwriter and actor, so it shouldn't surprise anyone that he has a lot of creative input into the postproduction process. His deal was for all three, and he takes those roles seriously." She would not elaborate on Norton's issues. The Oscar-nominated actor has a reputation for being difficult. Tony Kaye, who directed him in "American History X," charged that Norton reedited the flick to give himself more screen time. And screenwriter/director Joe Eszterhas cmhere2once cracked: "You don't want Edward Norton to star in your movie. He now rewrites all the scripts he agrees to act in." Universal Pictures, distributor of "Hulk," which debuts nationwide on June 13, had no comment.

++ Brad Pitt and Edward Norton catch RadioheadBrad Pitt and Edward Norton went to see a Radiohead concert on Wednesday night (18.06.08). The actors - who met when they starred together in 2005 movie 'Fight Club' - looked happy and excited as they attended the performance at Milan's Civica Arena in Italy. Edward has previously spoken about his and Brad's love of the British band, saying: "Brad and I had a mutual fixation on the second two Radiohead albums." Brad and Edward were also accompanied by Mariane Pearl, a close friend of Brad and his long-term partner Angelina Jolie since Angelina portrayed her in controversial movie 'A Mighty Heart' in 2007. . . . more

For a fan of Edward Norton, this is a serious issue. Not the Radiohead thing of course, they're my favourite band! If Edward Norton wants a lot of the control he should be a director for his next project. I'm having the same issue since I'm directing a short film for fun. Love ya Edward! Don't change a bit! But continue promoting the film since you're in it.

The new Hulk movie is looking a lot more interesting. Well, if it's starring Edward Norton, how can they go wrong. Am I right or what?

++ Few movies had as drastic a change in box office fortunes as Ang Lee’s 2003 Hulk movie. In its first weekend in the USA, Hulk earned a promising $62 million. The weekend after that it fell sharply to $18 million, and then to $8 million the weekend following that! Bad word-of-mouth sunk the film: it simply wasn’t what audiences expected. Walking out of cinemas screening it, the sheer disappointment amongst ten-year-old boys was palpable. Nothing had prepared them for the rather oddball art house flick meets superhero comic book that was 2003’s Hulk. All they wanted was to see was Hulk smash puny humans . . .more

++ Nikki Finke reports this morning that Edward Norton, the star, screenwriter, and producer of this summer's The Incredible Hulk, is battling Marvel over how to edit the movie. When he signed on, Norton was promised "tremendous involvement and access" and was invited to help rewrite Zak Penn's script, which sort of strikes us a mistake given his famously cooperative past . . .more

++ Edward Norton talked to Total Film magazine (via The Sun) and said there is no connection between upcoming The Incredible Hulk and 2003's Hulk . . . more

   Everything is linkable at this stage. I took a long time making all the pages. I decidede to make The gallery and screencaps different because the gallery host has a limit on the amount of galleries I create. The only reason I use a gallery host is because there's too many images. I added one clip from Everyone Says's I Love You. There's also a whole bunch of information if you have no idea what Edward Norton has gone through.

   Welcome to the grand opening of Only Edward Norton. There is barely anything on the site right now, but there will be daily updates so stay tuned!
