Motherless Brooklyn (2019) - Blu-ray Forum

Hoke Moseley · 02-05-2018, 08:12 PM

This has been in development for over a decade..... and it's finally filming. Couldn't find a thread, but apologies if there already is one.

Quote:

Bruce Willis, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, and Alec Baldwin have signed on for thriller Motherless Brooklyn, written and directed by Edward Norton, who is also starring in it. Currently shooting in New York City, the film’s ensemble cast includes Cherry Jones, Ethan Suplee, Leslie Mann, Josh Pais, Fisher Stevens, Michael K. Williams, and Robert Wisdom as well as previously announced Willem Dafoe.

Inspired by Jonathan Lethem’s novel of the same name, the pic, set in 1950s NY, follows Lionel Essrog (Norton), a lonely private detective afflicted with Tourette’s Syndrome, as he ventures to solve the murder of his mentor and only friend, Frank Minna (Willis). Armed only with a few clues and the powerful engine of his obsessive mind, Lionel unravels closely-guarded secrets that hold the fate of the whole city in the balance.

Norton is producing the project alongside his Class 5 Films producing partner Bill Migliore as well as MWM Studios’ Gigi Pritzker and Rachel Shane. Executive producers are Michael Bederman, Adrian Alperovich, Sue Kroll, Robert F. Smith, Brian Sheth, and Daniel Nadler. Warner Bros will release the film worldwide.

I've been waiting for this for so long..... so glad it's finally happening.

Considering Edward Norton's reputation, don't know why he didn't started directing from the get go.

He directed Keeping the Faith almost 20 years ago.

Motherless Brooklyn has been his passion project for almost that long, and he struggled to get it off the ground until now.

Norton has some work to do in order to beat this guy's acting!

Cremildo · 05-24-2019, 09:44 PM

The movie will feature an original score by 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse' & 'Steve Jobs' composer Daniel Pemberton and an original song by Radiohead's Thom Yorke.

Thom Yorke Wrote Such a Great Song for ‘Motherless Brooklyn’ That Edward Norton Altered the Film

It'll close the New York Film Festival.

The book is fantastic. This could be one of the heavyweights of the year.

Quote:

It was the fall of 1999, and everything seemed to be lining up for Motherless Brooklyn. Edward Norton, fresh off his Oscar nomination for American History X and about to open Fight Club, was ready to direct, produce, and star in an adaptation of the brand-new novel by Jonathan Lethem. New Line Cinema had optioned the book for what was reported as a “sum in the high six-figures.” And most crucially, Lethem had signed off on Norton’s bold idea of shifting the modern-day detective story to the 1950s, taking the story’s central characters and jettisoning them off into a completely different adventure.

What happened next is a familiar Hollywood story: delays, bad timing, years of puzzling out the script. But this fall, exactly 20 years later, Motherless Brooklyn is at last a reality, with Norton as the book’s unforgettable hero, Lionel Essrog, and Bruce Willis as Frank Minna, the paternal head of the seedy Brooklyn detective agency that’s employed Lionel since he was an orphaned teenager. Those characters will be familiar to readers of the book, but as these first-look images make clear, the rest of Motherless Brooklyn is a new world entirely. [...]
