Norton and Sarandon

Susan Sarandon and Richard Dreyfuss have joined Edward Norton in LEAVES OF GRASS, with Keri Russell in negotiations to join too. The film, written and directed by Tim Blake Nelson (THE INCREDIBLE HULK), sees Norton play twin brothers, one an Ivy League philosophy professor, the other a small-time and brilliant marijuana grower. The professor is lured back to his Oklahoma hometown for a doomed scheme against a local drug lord (Dreyfuss) that unravels his life.

Let’s put our cards on the table here: I reported on this story as an excuse to ogle Susan Sarandon. That chick is like two hundred years old but she’s still gorgeous. I’ve no idea what she eats to keep looking like that but I’m pretty sure what she’s drinking is finest quality unicorn tears. I know it sounds unlikely, but think about it: it’s the only logical explanation.
