Norton did just that , and despite claiming that he wrote the movie , he was denied credit by the Writers Guild—an organization of which he was not a member at the time. An angered Norton trashed them in the press—while doing interviews for Red Dragon , Norton told a reporter, "I got shafted by the Writers Guild at the last minute, but I wrote the draft that got made.

Norton made a relatively rare televised appearance in the summer of , showing up for the taping of The Comedy Central Roast of Bruce Willis. As one does at a roast, Norton took some pretty harsh jabs at Willis, his Moonrise Kingdom co-star. For example: "I tried to emulate you in American History X.

I shaved my head, I acted like a racist," Norton joked. But much of Norton's routine was just a set-up to attack who the actor really wanted to insult: the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the people who make those movies. You know what went wrong? I wanted a better script.

I thought we should try to make one Marvel movie that was as good as the worst Chris Nolan movie, but what the hell was I thinking?

Norton's most recent major live-action role came in the drama Collateral Beauty. A quirky film with spiritual themes, it's about an advertising executive named Howard Inlet Will Smith who, after suffering a devastating personal loss, writes letters to the concepts of Love, Time, and Death.

Critics liked it even less than audiences—it amassed just 13 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Although Norton wasn't singled out by critics as one of the movie's major problems, Collateral Beauty definitely wasn't the comeback vehicle for Norton that it could have — and should have — been.

He may have receded from the spotlight, but Norton has stayed busy on the production side. Based on historian Stephen Ambrose's landmark book Undaunted Courage: Meriwether Lewis, Thomas Jefferson, and the Opening of the American West, filming on the project began in June , before abruptly shutting down just two months later. Among the other problems facing the miniseries: director and co-writer John Curran quit, and there were script issues.

As Norton has done on previous troubled projects, he took a pass at the script; his version was abandoned in favor of one written by Master of Sex creator Michelle Ashford. The six-part series, which stars Casey Affleck and Matthias Schoenaerts as Lewis and Clark, respectively, still doesn't have a release date several years after HBO announced it was redeveloping the project. In the last 20 years, Norton has starred in many films, but he's only directed one: Keeping the Faith, a romantic comedy about a Catholic priest Norton and a rabbi Ben Stiller fighting over a woman Jenna Elfman.

Norton recently returned to directing, with Motherless Brooklyn , a s-set drama about a New York private detective with Tourette's syndrome trying to solve the murder of his mentor.

Norton, who wrote the screenplay based on Jonathan Lethem's novel of the same name, will also play the detective; Bruce Willis co-stars as the mentor. Other notable actors rounding out the cast include Alec Baldwin and Willem Dafoe, so this one could be a pretty big deal upon its release. Hopefully most will find the passion, love, message, and humor in it, and also discover that it could be that movie which so many people have been wishing Hollywood would make, instead of those dry, cash-cow blockbusters that stain the very heart and art of filmmaking itself.

While also being unique in its own way, it's also familiar, without being too familiar if you know what I mean. I wish Bruce Willis was in it more, and there are some plot holes and mildly annoying coincidences, cliches, etc.

These are few and far in between. While it can be difficult to follow at times, it's still quite a fantastic movie. Those who would enjoy this movie, probably also enjoyed other titles like Chinatown, L.

Norton subsequently organized a screening of Everyone Says I Love You in Baltimore to benefit the research of the Johns Hopkins Hospital oncology team, who operated on his mother.

Norton's supporting turn in Rounders , playing alongside fellow rising star Matt Damon, inspired yet more praise, but it was his emotionally fierce performance as a reformed neo-Nazi in American History X that earned him the second Oscar nomination—this time as Best Actor—of his relatively brief film career. Norton had again proven his ability to almost effortlessly switch psychological gears within a character.

Janet Maslin wrote of his performance in The New York Times that "having made his electrifying screen debut with an essentially dual role in Primal Fear , Norton now plays a two-faceted character with even more fury. In , Norton teamed up with Brad Pitt in another intense and tumultuous role as a nameless young man in David Fincher's Fight Club , based on the debut novel by Chuck Palanhiuk.

Norton plays a lonely young professional who feigns illness in order to attend disease support groups and bond with others, until he meets Tyler Durden Pitt , the founder of Fight Club—an underground group that discovers a cathartic release of aggression through brutal fist-fights.

The film became a cult hit, and officially catapulted Norton to the realm of A-List actors. Keeping the Faith , a romantic comedy featuring Norton, Ben Stiller, and Jenna Elfman in an unusual love triangle, marked Norton's producing and directing debut. The following year proved to one filled with highs and lows for the talented actor. He starred in the satirical look at children's television, Death to Smoochy , which proved to be a critical and commercial dud.

In Red Dragon , Norton played a retired FBI agent drawn back into his old investigative life in order to track down a serial killer with a little help from notorious murderer, Hannibal Lecter played by Anthony Hopkins.

The film, a prequel to the hit Silence of the Lambs , was a remake of the film Manhunter. Norton then starred in director Spike Lee's The 25th Hour as a drug dealer about to start a long prison sentence. The project was a dream come true for Norton, who had been a fan of Lee's work since Do the Right Thing.

After such a hectic roll-out of films, Norton took a break for several years, accepting only two supporting roles—one in 's The Italian Job , and the other in 's Kingdom of Heaven.

Norton expanded his role behind the scenes. The company produced Down in the Valley , an independent drama starring Norton as a cowboy who moves to California and gets involved with a younger woman Evan Rachel Wood.

That same year, the company also produced The Painted Veil , a historical drama of betrayal set in China during a cholera epidemic.
