After collaborating on films like The Painted Veil and the recently released drama Stone, it looks like Edward Norton and director John Curran are working together again, but this time they’re bringing their talents to the small screen. In a recent interview with The AV Club, Norton revealed that he’s been working with Curran to develop a historical miniseries based on the Stephen Ambrose book Undaunted Courage, a biography about the famous explorer Meriwether Lewis and his journeys with William Clark.

Edward Norton Exclusive Video Interview STONE

by Bill Graham    Posted: October 6th, 2010 at 2:06 pm

I’ll admit to being nervous when I actually got the opportunity to interview Edward Norton during Fantastic Fest.  Not because of giddy joy (there was some of that as I am a fan of his work), but because he can come off as reserved and somewhat intimidating in his serious attitude.  However, the Norton I interviewed for the upcoming film Stone (read my review here) was relaxed and genial which resulted in a nice chat.  See the results after the jump as we talk cornrows, his gravitation towards films with ambiguity, and his adoration of Austin.  John Curran’s Stone hits theaters this weekend and stars Robert De Niro, Milla Jovovich, and Edward Norton.

Fantastic Fest 2010: STONE Review

by Bill Graham    Posted: September 30th, 2010 at 10:10 am

The relationship between a parole officer and an inmate is one with constant tension between what is and isn’t true. As John Curran’s Stone observes, how much truth is shared, if any, may never be known as the human drive to simply survive can create a powerful situation that is so believable, it might fool the very people meant to read through all the false fronts that are thrown their way. Religion, deception, reformation, seduction, and the power of lies are all explored as Stone (Edward Norton) weaves his way through our hearts and minds, leaving plenty of questions in the wake of the remarkable ending. Join me after the break for the full review.

Promo Posters for STONE Starring Robert De Niro and Edward Norton, and for THE MECHANIC Starring Jason Statham

Collider reader “Max” has just sent along two promo posters for the upcoming films “Stone” starring Robert De Niro and Edward Norton and for “The Mechanic” starring Jason Statham.  Neither of these posters is official and you’ll probably never see them in your theater’s lobby.  These are made to influence an individual or a specific group rather than for public consumption.  But even though “Stone” is currently in post-production and “The Mechanic” is only in pre-production, hit the jump and consume away at these posters as well as brief plot synopses.

John Curran Will STONE Milla Jovovich

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Milla Jovovich has signed on to co-star with Edward Norton and Robert DeNiro in John Curran’s upcoming film “Stone” which THR bills as a “psychological thriller”.  For once I’d like to an anthropological thriller or a philosophical thriller.  Maybe even a sociological thriller (although I guess you could argue that zombie movies fall into that category).  Must we contain ourselves to fucking over only one person’s mind?

Jovovich will play the wife of a convicted arsonist (Norton). Desperately looking to be paroled, Norton has Jovovich engage in a dangerous affair with his parole officer (De Niro), entrapping him in a series of deadly psychological games.  That actually sounds very interesting and could be a rich and rewarding role for Jovovich.  It would be nice to see her in a movie that doesn’t contain the words “Resident” or “Evil” in the title.

Filming is set to begin this month in Michigan which will already fuck with your mind.  But back to the movie, I wonder if this is like some great reverse of Ulu Grosbard’s “Straight Time”.  That would be neat.
