Leaves of Grass Trailer Online

By Rodney - February 12, 2010 - 12:14 America/Montreal

I tripped over this trailer today for Leaves of Grass, and it has really caught my interest.

Edward Norton plays a drug grow op in the deep south, and after a big deal goes bad he gets killed. When his identical twin brother, an Ivy League Banker comes home to deal with this loss, he finds out the death was staged and his brother is very much alive. This gets him drawn into the backwater life he worked so hard to escape and pits him unwillingly in the middle of a drug war.

Keri Russell looks amazing in this but the Double Norton trick seems to look a bit fake at times and I worry that the final product will not put the double actor effect to good use. Might be distracting enough that I don’t buy into the twins aspect of the story and instead, i find myself look at the “how did they do that” kind of thing. I hope its more seamless on the big screen.

Still, its Edward Norton - and he has yet to let me down.

    Reminds me of Avatar with the whole twin-brother-replacing-the-better-deal-brother angle.

    How convenient. Still, Norton rules, so this might just be good.

      Because Avatar was the first movie to be about a brother replacing another brother for a plot.

      Avatar’s biggest criticism is that it ripped off its plot from other movies (who were not the first to come up with that either) and you try to compare this movie to it?

      How convenient.
