The dude is a passionated artist.
I can't stand the typical American narrator. Too loud.
You should've watched Ed's Bruce Willis roast speech before doing this, he was making fun of himself & Bruce in that Bruce lacks substance & his approach has proven detrimental to his career opportunities. Also, they were ALREADY done filming the movie, which he joked about. So yes they're still cool, buuuuuuuut the Motherless Brooklyn clip is not a testament to that. They love each other undoubtedly.
Norton = American History X and Primal Fear, wtf is fight club?
@@majk1908 Ty. I was trying to remember the title Been a while since I viewed that PF
Being rejected by Hollywood is probably the greatest testament to character that an actor can receive.
!
AND the worst. It either means you suck at your job or nobody wants to work with you because you are good at your job but you suck so much that NOBODY wants to work with you. You will get the kudos and recognition when you die for being a rebel in life. But most forget that rebels die alone for a reason: nobody wants to be around them because they suck.
@@roddo1955 The line isn't that clear anymore. Hollywood is only in prestigious in America. The rest of the planet doesn't even give a damn about Oscar and hardly think of Hollywood as a credible institution after so many crap decades after decades.
Hollywood was cool once, back in the 50s to 70s. Lately though, it's just wall street for cinema.
@@myman7336 do you think his behaviour would fly, anywhere else? Imagine having him as a new co worker in burger king. "I like working here but, I think we should turn this into a paintshop. Look; I got an entire businessplan"
Just get to work, Edward.😉
Kevin spacey got rejected too can say the same for him
Edward Norton is probably the best actor I’ve ever seen. He is amazing! His ability to portray mental health issues like multiple personality disorder and schizophrenia are untouchable. Plus, he just has a quick wit and dry dark sense of humor. He’s the best.
He was rich, n didnt need to suck d..
So many unhappy di.. in Holly.
If you notice a pattern, he doesn't do crap movies just for money and fame. He is serious about the script. All of his movies till now are super good with great ratings.
@Max Shaw XD
To add to what you're saying.... Norton is obviously über Smart. The prob for him is that movies are supposed to be a collaborative effort. Über Smart people don't always get on with others bc they themselves actually do know best.
Which explains why he prob would be best in a Director role.
However Hollywood is more about people and teamwork, so someone who values the ART of movies but doesn't get on with the people is unlikely to succeed long enough there. He needs to apply his talents ELSEWHERE. :-)
@@raheesom Now He directed, produced Motherless Brooklyn and Also he is the main character
Exactly
@Max Shaw Obviously he didn't want The Incredible Hulk to turn out the way it did. That's why Marvel re-edited the film afterwards to reduce the dialogue and add more action.
I imagine the film Norton wanted would have been a boring box-office flop, but the critics would have enjoyed it exploring challenging themes like mental illness, scientific morality vs scientific progress, the corrupting influence of power and the military-industrial complex. Given how the Marvel Cinematic Universe has turned out they clearly made the right call to change the film and recast Norton, but it is still a testament to his purity.
Edward Norton is a perfectionist, he's truely dedicated to acting and the art of making movies. Many people cannot deal with his grade of passion.
The entertainment business has always struggled with entertainers who put artistic quality before money. It happens even more in the music business than it does in the movie business.
Sound like the ideal co-producer director for the Mother of All Movies then. And that has still not been made. The world will never be the same again.
So let him drop me a note and collect the whole bunch of Oscars that he would ever still wish for.
Roughly put, it plays during the first century AD, involves the Essenes. There has been made more than enough crap movies and series. This is the real deal how the NT got into being and will baffle the entire world.
Dropping a note will definitely not be in vain and worth all effort
I remove myself from perfectionists in life as in work. That is a damn disease as there is no perfection. The object is to do your best and work well and kindly with others.
AMEN
Hooptie Hamburger there are other successful actors who left Hollywood for the same reason Kate Mulgrew comes to mind
Why does hollywood reject Ed Norton? Why is he impossible to work with? Because he's is sober, doesn't like politics, Never hung out with both weinstein and epstein, and he can act. Thats why!
Trump has hung out with Epstein and Weinstein.
If he liked politics, why would that be a bad thing?
Well said my friend.
@@cnoeroman Yes.
He may not like politics but he has acted in some movies with very strong sociopolitical messages
He's actually one of the best actors ever in my opinion. If he's in a movie, it's usually good.
Yep, I even liked the Hulk movie, or at least the first 2/3rds..
yup
Defeqel he was way better than mark ruffalo
Norton and Sam Rockwell are always great, Christian Bale too
Very true.
Well, he clearly knows what he’s doing because those films were masterpieces.
Edwina Walton yes!
Indeed
Norton doesn't need directors.
Directors need Norton.
Nah, ego maniac need not apply
I agree
Exactly. He's one of the best actors around. And it appears he has made films better, not worse ie American History X etc...
Wow 🤩 s
@@dqreps You can't argue that when we haven't seen the original cut my guy
I honestly think why Edward was “hard to work with” is probably because of his anger issues and his strong opinions. He is an incredible actor and will always be the original Hulk to me.
Being rejected by hollywood these days is more like a praise, means Ed does something right!
Norton doesn't subscribe to the Wienstien/ Epstein deficit of moral code. If Prince Andrew is removed frim Royal duties, and Bill Gates wife divorces him, why isnt Bill Gates canceled?
The man is either hard to work with, or is just a damn genius. Glad to see him starting to do his own films.
He's one of the best and he knows it. True artists don't like to compromise when it comes to their art. I'd love to see him more often on the big screen.
i think he is the genuine article. and yes, he is better off writing scripts, directing and producing his own movies, rather than relying on the Hollywood profit machine.
He is trying to make art. The producers are trying to create a paycheck
I think Norton would feel more comfortable in this role. I wish him the best of luck.
His latest movie, "Motherless Brooklyn" is in my opinion a masterpiece and his acting one of this year's best. He should get a nomination for best actor for this role.
@EMAN67 (Movies,politics,commentary) Agreed, but his instincts are more valuable than someone's ego. Maybe he didn't want to compromise at any point in his career.
If the next movies he makes are like motherless brooklyn they won't be anything special.
Edward Norton is one of my favorite actors his roles in movies are iconic.
Agree 100%
Hello thank you so much
He will always be one of my favorites for his role in Fight Club alone.
Sounds like Edward Norton is a genius and people should listen to him.
Marc Odin kinda feels that way doesn’t it.
That is bullshit. He cannot control himself and does not know his place. If he were a genius, he would be executive producing his own films. You don't go into other people's projects and tell them what to do. You do what you are there for, in his case ACTING. Get some life experience and you will understand his behavior is a mental illness.
Right? the version of American History X that exists is amazing.. I didn't know Norton was involved in the post preproduction. Now that I do.. more credit to him.
Any actor being called a genius sends me into a laughing frenzy ...thank you
Soooo he's not blacklisted. He just doesn't take as many roles. Creates his own work. And continues to win awards.
@Jerry L. stop! you're both right!
He hasn't won anything other than a Golden Globe which is like a MTV award.
He will have to produce (with his own money his projects) That is the only way you get to call all the shots dear.
Norton hasn't had an onscreen role in a well-reviewed film or even been nominated for an award since 2014. He's only 50 and a film icon. Clearly, his career has hit some obstacles, to say the least. Unfortunately for us.
@@johnrogstad1278 motherless brooklyn received positive reviews
He just doesn't want to be in a crappy movie, so when they offered him one he'd try to fix it rather than turn down the part. I can see where that would annoy people, but I've always liked his acting.
yup
he certainly comes across as both humble and interesting in interviews (that are not heavily edited)
He would try to "fix" any movie he was offered the role to, good or bad, instead of trusting the writers' and director's vision and doing his job.
n6george I could understand not trusting Hollywood institutions
The problem is the assumption that any view other than his own is crappy. He's a good actor, but if he's only hired as an actor that's what he should do.
N3rd Degree thats a good point, the problem is what makes him a A list actor is superior ambition. If he thinks a script or the costume or whatever will lessen the quality you are not going to be able to stop him from changing it or fighting you.
They can't take the fact that he's one of the best actors EVER
saleem mumo I could tell you at least 50 who were/are much better
@@UncleEbenezer77 kindly keep them to yourself
.
Sounds like Ed's "ego" is quite appropriate for his talent. It's those directors and writers of small talents that have outsized egos.
Hi
Hello
Something I have been in search for quite sometime is a connection with somebody that goes beyond vanity. It's very hard to do in this day and age. People can be, somewhat very superficial.
On my quest to achieve this I have learnt a lot about human nature. It seems to me that those who are not given traits such as beauty or being wealthy are some of the nicest, kindest and generous people. While the "gorgeous" and well off seem to be the most arrogant and greedy people out there.
Of course that's not to say there aren't beautiful kind people out there. I've been in the process of change for a while now and I have made some decent changes but don't you just hate it when people can't let go of your past mistakes.
I saw your profile and it intrigued me. I wanted to learn more about who you are and what type of path you would like on in life. Can we talk?
Well said gal
agreed, it seems like people were annoyed with him messing with things but his messing with things was usually the right way to go lol
i think norton is great. he should just make his own movies.
He did
Motherless Brooklyn
Sounds like he's not only a good actor, but also a frustrated director.
Norton can make his own movies that no body will watch. It is a classic case of actor artist given too much control.
@@krokelhead232 how did that work out form him?
No matter how hard you try to play him down, you will fail. Norton is a theatrical genius.
we don't deserve edward norton. he's trying to make art when all people want is another pow bang zap movie
Edward Norton is truly talented and always gives captivating performances. He is so polished at his craft, I am always so convinced by his character I forget I am watching Edward Norton. Hollywood's barometer has malfunctioned for years. Give us more Edward Norton!
Why did Edward Norton get banned? He spoke about fight club.
🤣
LMAO
He was instrumental in helping our modern generation to see we can live happy lives without the need for pills. Without the need for dope. Without having to be commies or centrists or even neo national socialists or neo this or neo that.
DoubleIrish DutchSandwich 😂
@@Yatukih_001 thanks for the life lesson Grandma
Hollywood is doing garbage,99% . So why should I care? He's a great actor,anyway.
Freaking adore Ed. If he's in it, I'll watch it. He's rarely made me regret this approach.
I can *definitely* respect that he refuses to change who he is just to stay "relevant". Would enjoy seeing him in more projects though. Hollywood's loss that they can't see he's a huge draw.
nothing to do with relevance he just sucks balls and always did
OK hater lol American History X Primal Fear Fight Club if you think these movies suck then your delusional and as I said just a Hater. Go watch Cats lol
At this point it's pretty clear Hollywood is just hindering Norton, rather than the other way.
"If you want to make enemies try to change something"
He's always been one of my favorite actors! If he's in it, you know it's going to be good.
Norton’s ground breaking debut in primal fear was no accident. His performance must have been seen as a brand new gold mine in the eyes of the movie makers.
He should've won supporting actor for primal fear and best actor for American History X
Absolutely agree with you. Best supporting actor went to Cuba Gooding jr for Jerry Maguire. Not even close, imo.
@@ThisHandleWasTheOnly1Available odd comment
He was Leading Actor in Primal Fear in my eyes.
I'm kinda with Norton, he seems to have skills. Let him have his way. Dark Hulk, sounds far better!
Can Mr T play Dark Hulk?!
I would have liked to see that version of the Hulk. I'm sure it would have been a masterpiece. Shame that marvels execs only hire people based on their readiness to bend over and do what they're told, rather than a genuinely talented artist who would have brought so much more to the franchise
@@jodie3950 you are a fool,he was hired to act not to direct or show how he want the movie to go...it's like hiring a builder to build a two small houses for you but the builder says "no i will build one big house,that will look perfect' like bro i hired you to build two small houses for me not one big house same apply to his shitty situation as hulk,marvel hired him to play hulk not to direct it,he was hired to act not to direct...i hate it when people think they are too much or too high and fools like you praise people like that.
@@jodie3950 obviously marvel is just making superhero movies for teenagers
It sounds like his rewrites and changes were better and the director's and writers guild felt threatened by him. So many crap movies have been coming out and I miss seeing him movies.
Personally, I think he’s an amazing actor. However, if he’s as difficult to work with as they say, I can understand why he’s being blacklisted. It’s a shame though. He has so much talent to share.
Primal fear, fight club, American history. Oscar to this guy.
He was underrated in rounders
Birdman
The Red Dragon
Rounders...
Sotiris Ktistis
The Score
I don't trust a creative guy who is trying to be agreeable.
"Hollywood" just doesn't have the vision that Norton has. It all happens for the best as Norton can put all his talent to work now! Much to the dismay of "Hollywood"...Rock on Ed!!!
Norton, for all his over zealous efforts, is a national treasure.
Apparently nobody told him to go make his own movies until marvel.
he made his own movie 7 years before doing the Hulk.
Norton just needs to direct all his own movies, so his talent is not wasted. He's just that good!
Yeah good luck with that, Norton is a virus
Hello
He seems like the smartest and nicest person ever. And anything he’s in is good. He’s doing fine.
I love him and appreciate that he has the courage to piss off people in Hollywood because he’s not willing to stay within the framework of normality. Although I do wish he would play nice more often so that us the audience may have the pleasure of seeing him in more work
Normality and a bunch of Censorship to many realities.
except they HIRED HIM to stay within the framework. If I hire you to make burgers and you make green beans I'm going to fire you.
@@GreenEnvy. It's more like you hired him to make Big Mac's and then he invented his own hamburger that outsold it and you went all pissy about it.
@@mikaelandersson1288 Think from a producers perspective. You hired a man to ACT. You didn't hire him to re-write a script, only ACT. Now imagine how pissed you'd be if the man you hired to ACT showed up with a re-written script you hired another man for to write. You would be pissed. This was not part of the acting deal you hired him for. Please think logically.
@@GreenEnvy. He improved on the movie it's just too bad that the cry baby director couldn't handle it.
He's an infinitely better actor than the vast majority of Hollywood, Bollywood or any other place. He has several movies that are classic performances and all time greats.
Greatness expects greatness. He is truely one of the greatest actors of all time
I agree with him about American history x, I can't see over 30 minutes cut from that movie. Should have won best picture
Ramsay Bolton- Thogh I have Amarican History on as second best, I still think his role in that first movie as him being a psycho altar boy, Is his absolutely best role EVER! I SOOOO bought that. I sat with my jaws on my knees at the end, there ; )
He's close to Wes Anderson and collabs a lot with him
He's fine
@Jeffrey Canzani what I mean is that they've collabed for the past few movies and if he ever needs work, he'll let WA know
@@SX1995able I'm guessing they're style just bounces off of eachother well and any idea they both have they try to make it work and it works.
White pony
quality over quantity is appealing now more than ever.
I was thinking the same. Not everybody in the industry is rejecting him. Maybe he needs to find the right people to work with. Movies with Wes Anderson have been great. If he truly cares about the quality of the end-product and strives to improve it, personally don't care if he steps on someone's toes. Hulk was a bit of a mess, though, I agree.
He’s one of my fave actors!! All this information tells me it’s that he’s serious about his art.
Norton is a genius and brilliant actor. He may have “quirks” but most supreme intellectuals do. He proved he is better than most all Hollywood idiots time after time. Now no one will hire him. He doesn’t fit the mold. Huge fan of yours Mr. Norton, keep being you.
He is an exceptional Actor! Big fan!
Ed presents like an artist. Eccentric, intense and captivating. Hope to see him on screen more.
He's committed to his craft and vision. He aims to be among the stars.
I agree 👍
He aims to become a new Galaxy 😁
Amazing actor - and now knowing that he writes and 'fixes' scripts he's shown to be even better :)
When I saw Primal Fear” I was truly mesmerized. I knew I was watching the greatest actor I had ever seen. Do your own things Edward Norton. You are a genius!!
I think Norton is a genius. That about covers it. I miss him in my movies.
Why this man never won an Oscar?
Right!
funkymara93 read the title
@Fly by night Couldn't agree more!
@Joe Me 😂stop!😂
because he sucks
He should just make his own movies he obviously has the talent for it.
Norton's Hulk was the damn best, love this actor, marvel didn't want Norton's Hulk stealing the show
Lol. WHY WOULDN'T MARVEL WANT THEIR OWN CHARACTER TO STAND OUT?
I like Norton’s movies. That’s all that matters from a moviegoer’s perspective. I don’t have to work with him.
I’d rather watch a movie I enjoy than one I don’t but in which everyone got along great.
Years of brilliant performances tell me Norton doesn’t settle for second best, and his cut of American History X is iconic. Easily one of my favourite ever actors.
His performance in The Score with Deniro is one of my absolute favorites still worth watching today
his ability to play to totally different characters is unmatched.
American History X
Primal Fear
The Score
No love for ROUNDERS? It's one of his best movies.
Hell yeah.... He played "the ass hole friend" part to the point in the movie....loved Malkovich as teddy KGB too.... "pey thait man hiis maaniy".
@@3rdworldgwaming467 Lits pley caaards.
Not only should he have won the Oscar for American History X without doubt one of the most memorable performance in film
The guy should just be a director.
Brandon Condon
It’s as simple as that.
But he seem to usually right so. Ha
motherless brooklyn was fantastic and one of my favorite films he's acted in
Edward Norton is one of the best actors of the last 50 years, easily. I could see where he might be a bit of a pain to work with, but a lot of the best in the business seem to have a bit of that reputation. I hope he does make movies on his own terms. There's plenty of crappy movies being constantly pumped out of Hollywood, so I'm all for someone with some standards to give us something else.
He is a great actor. I agree he should make his own movies.
Edwards is an extraordinary actor. Perhaps he’s like the Steve Jobs of theatre. That version of Incredible Hulk got me totally interested in Edwards. I totally loved him in Birdman, incredible performance. Yes I believe he has the capacity for becoming a great director.
He drew his inspirations from people like Al, De Niro, Sir Ian, etc. That's some solid ground for perfection. No wonder Norton is so perfect in what he does and delivers.
Sounds like Norton is doing fine. The tone of this review isn't really justified by the facts presented.
I was thinking throughout the video that he should make his own movies! Good decision, I love him
He's right up there with the likes of Daniel Day-Lewis. A truly great actor. I wish he didn't piss people off so much though because I'd like to have seen more of him.
Nowhere near Lewis...that's crazy. He's an over rated above average actor at best...
Nah he’s really good, actually liked his acting on Red dragon and a far better Hulk
@Gloria Vargo No that literally validates my point about being overrated.
@@acomaslip5212 Gotta disagree with you there. While Norton is a fine actor, he is in no way in DDL's class. Not too many actors are.
@@markdominick3511 Yeah, you mean you agree then...
Edward Norton is my celebrity crush it appears he’s also a difficult perfectionist. Love his work .
Sister Grace ok karen
i remember i watched the incredible hulk back in 2008. i was a child back then and couldn't remember what was my impression of the movie. i knew edward norton because of his role as king baldwin iv in kingdom of heaven, which i just watched recently, and damn, he was mesmerizing as the leper king. you don't often see actors succeeding in conveying emotions behind a mask, but edward norton pulled it off effortlessly. i just wish he gets more recognized with this role.
you know what edward norton and baldwin iv share in common? they're both kings.
edward norton is smarter than most actors and directors of his peers out there. would love to work with him.
Literally, a bit.
the first time watching Red Dragon as a kid... I fell in love with his character. Fearless, brilliant, sexy. The slightest lisp that soothes. Oh Edward. You are so fine.
Exactly, Norton should make his own movies. 👍👍
He is one of the best actors ever.
The final scene in Primal Fear. Chilling! And all down to close-up acting.
He’s one of the best actors in a current lame industry that is riddled with sci fi and less reality of true life..
Wake up, go out, talk to people, watch the news, live your life. There you go, reality and true life every day.
Jeff Jeff lol i don’t know anyone who knows any Norton movies lmao
@@jleonn8651 Then you clearly need to exit your cave and look his movies up. Dude is beyond phenomenal.

According to whom? Who considers him to be a world class actor?
@@jleonn8651 You're right, its really funny that you and your social environment are too dumb and narrowminded to watch a movie that provokes reflection about yourself and society. Pls tell me ur favourite movies. I want to laugh more.
Best actor hands down, watched primal fear as a young teen and was blown away, then American history x WOW, then fight club FUK YA..... top 3 movies ever
He just sounds like a real creative. And that people are envious of his talent, and made insecure by their subpar acting, writing, directing skills. But yes, he is probably difficult to work with. But he doesn't sound abusive or toxic.
Wes Anderson doesn’t seem to have a problem with Ed.
Wes Andersen isn't good. Motherless Brooklyn was an abortion.
Because they’re both perfectionists.
will be always respected for starring in the legendary Fight Club.
When you are super talented it is clear that some Hollywood Power Players are afraid of being outshined. Edward Norton is a super actor and I will watch his movies every chance I get. Best wishes Edward Norton.
I think he's an absolute perfectionist and brilliant actor.
I really liked motherless Brooklyn but it seem’s like none of the critics did. He’s one of my favorite actors.
Motherless Brooklyn is a fine movie.
Ive heard that his character in Birdman was pretty accurate of how he is in real life lol. Arrogant and always trying to control the set(telling people how to act, demanding script rewrites etc). Still my boy though. He’s always a reason for me seeing a film, just seems working with him is a nightmare.
Edit: damn i commented before I even watched the video and they touched on everything I said lol
When Norton is in a film, one forgets it’s a film.
He’s better than anyone else!
He is an incredibly talented man.
Edward Norton is an acting god
I love him in everything he's ever done
He seems like a really nice guy, feels weird to hear this
Edward Norton is terrific in so many ways. It's too bad we don't see him anymore. Hope this changes soon. NOW!
Why did he get blacklisted? Authenticity, pride and principles. . . That's why.
