Stone Trailer (Norton and Deniro) - Review: Expect Acting Nominations

[GreenScar]

The promo trailer for the upcoming "Stone" thriller, starring Robert De Niro and Edward Norton, has appeared online. It is a bit rough, but you can check it out below.

Plot: A convicted arsonist (Norton) looks to manipulate a parole officer (De Niro) into a plan to secure his parole by placing his beautiful wife (Jovovich) in the lawman's path.

The new movie will be directed by John Curran, who has previously worked with Norton on "The Painted Vail" back in 2006. "Stone" has yet to get a release date.

----------------------------------------------

Robert De Niro and Edward Norton will star in "Stone" reports Production Weekly.

Based on a play by Angus MacLachlan ("Junebug"), De Niro will play a parole officer who develops a friendship with a teaching assistant.

John Curran ("The Painted Veil") helms the project which kicks off shooting in May.

Norton and DeNiro previously teamed on 2001's well-received heist thriller "The Score".

The only summary I could find of the play Junebug (which I'm unfamiliar with) was this:

A heart-warming story of unlikely friendships and the triumph of spirit over real-life obstacles. Junebug earned his nickname back at the projects where he had a goody goody reputation and a habit of "bugging" everyone with too many questions. Now his Mom has taken a job at a retirement community promising him and his little sister a safer, happier home. But adjusting to living among old people, fighting off the bullies at his new school and, above all, finding a father figure to captain him through the difficulties of adolescence turn out to be rough sailing for our young hero.

I'd really like to see Deniro do something really intense.
