Leaves of Grass DVD
Edward Norton stars with... Edward Norton in the comedic thriller, Leaves of Grass, which is out on DVD on 21 February 2011 from Lionsgate Home Entertainment.
Norton plays dual roles in this witty thriller which also boasts an all-star cast including Susan Sarandon, Richard Dreyfuss, Keri Russell and Tim Blake Nelson.
Ivy League professor Bill Kincaid's (Norton) life takes a downward spiral when he returns home to rural Oklahoma after receiving news of his twin brother's murder in a pot deal gone bad.
pon arrival, he finds that reports of Brady's (also played by Norton) death are “greatly exaggerated” and is quickly caught up in one of his brother's schemes. A scheme in which Brady requires an air-tight alibi.
Despite severe doubts, Bill decides to participate in his brother’s plan, choosing to spend his time as “Brady” in the company of his mother, Daisy (Academy Award winner Susan Sarandon) who has retired from the counter-culture and prematurely chosen to move into a retirement home – and Janet (Keri Russell), an educated woman who has by-passed academia in favour of a quieter life.
Meanwhile, Brady and his best friend/business partner Bolger (writer-director Tim Blake Nelson) use this perfect alibi to confront one of the area's most notorious drug dealers, Pug Rothbaum (Academy Award winner Richard Dreyfuss), about some unfinished business.
Will Bill be prepared to risk everything to help his brother if things don’t go according to plan?
