Do we all agree on Ed Norton?


I think he'd be the perfect Freeman.
Anyone think someone else is better for the role?

reply

no. He's too dweebish.

Aren't scientists supposed to be dweeby?
And did you see American History X?
Did you think he was dweeby in that?

reply

Nah, I never saw that movie.

And you've seen pics of Gordon haven't you? IMO, he doesn't look dweeby. A bit dorky, but mostly bad-ass and cool.(Just a little dorky.Not too much.)

Watch American History X...Norton is bad@$$ to the extreme in that.

I'll be sure to do that.

Anyway, just some Gordon pics for reference:

What can I say? I'm a sucker for humor.

ok, I just saw this pic of Ed in Rolling Stone, and I have to admit, it reminded me of Freeman a bit. But I still think he wouldn't make a good Freeman. (if they were to make Freeman talk, I wouldn't want him to sound like Norton.)
