Edward Norton

One of my professors in film school was one of the assistant directors for this film, and he said Edward Norton was a total jerk on set. Apparently Norton was getting paid like nothing because it was the last film on his contract that he signed with Paramount when he first became a star, so that contributed to his anger. One time my professor said he got Edward Norton a CD for his birthday on set to be nice and Norton just threw the CD and didn’t even thank him for it.

Ask your professor how much the studio got paid for featuring those new little colorful Cooper cars.

Such an obvious advertisement that ruined the movie. Theives want to go unnoticed, not drive brightly colored matchbox cars in their getaway.

In fact that is all I remember of this film, was the 10 minute advertisement..errr... getaway car chase.

Sometimes people embellish a situation just to have a story to tell.
