As with Stephen Colbert and his “Formidable Opponent” segment, when Ed Norton surveyed the current acting landscape to see who could challenge him as his brother in writer/director (and fantastic character actor in his own right) Tim Blake Nelson’s upcoming dramedy LEAVES OF GRASS, he found that the only person capable enough was…himself. Well, not really. He just plays an ivy league professor who returns to his hometown in Oklahoma to find that his twin brother, a local pot dealer, is in the midst of a scheme to take down a drug lord (Richard Dreyfuss). Keri Russell and Susan Sarandon co-star. No release date is set as yet. Click for mega bigness.
