The official trailer for the upcoming comedic thriller "Leaves of Grass," starring Edward Norton, Richard Dreyfuss, Susan Sarandon and Keri Russell, has been released. Check it out below.
Plot: The lives of two identical twins, one an Ivy League philosophy professor (Norton), the other a small-time and brilliant marijuana grower (Norton), intertwine when the professor is lured back to his Oklahoma hometown for a doomed scheme against a local drug lord (Dreyfuss).
The film is written and directed by Tim Blake Nelson (Norton's "Incredible Hulk" co-star) and has already appeared at the Toronto Film Festival and the Starz Denver Film Festival. Currently, "Leaves of Grass" has no distributor and no release date.

I want to see this so bad, Ed Norton is the best actor in the business. Did you see this Alex? I hope it's as good as the some have claimed. Ebert says it's the best movie he's seen this year.

VERY DISAPPOINTING

Looks pretty funny, especially considering that Norton is a staunch non-smoker. Ha ha. I wonder to what degree his principles will be compromised in the film.

I had high hopes for this project... too bad it looks like a piece of shit.

I don't know about norton being the best he is OK. has promise but based on this trailer it is crap.

trailer was weak...but Norton is one of the best and i feel like as a whole the movie will work well and the two characters will play off of each other well but it seemed awkward and jerky in the 3 mins of the trailer...

Wow, thank god this is a promo trailer, as i was watching it i couldnt believe how shitty the quality was and how they were able to keep in the language since WP said it was an official trailer. But at the end it said now in post-production. Thats also a relief since the trailer was shitty in and of itself. I love Edward Norton, he's one of my top 3 favorite actors, and the fact that theres double Norton in a movie bout pot would be all I needed to know before going to see it, but i hope the movie ends up being a lot better than this shit trailer. And WP has to change it from official to promotional.

Looks like a promising movie. Norton can do no wrong.
Great title too, I only wish I could smoke it.

I'm just glad to see they incorporated Okie Noodling into this movie.(1:19) hope it doesn't suck but there is weed in this movie so hoping it's cool.

jeffw, you think Norton is an "ok" actor? How about amazing...I guess being nominated for two Oscars, including for his very first film role (Primal Fear), doesn't mean anything.
More evidence of his great acting: Fight Club, American History X, The Score, 25th Hour, Rounders, The People vs. Larry Flynt

Whoever cut this trailer should be fired because it is poorly executed. That said, while the trailer is garbage it looks like and excellent movie and I cannot wait to see it. There should be more bootleggers at film festivals since most indie's never come to my areaand this looks to stay limited in its release.

I hated that they were playing the happy pop-rock in the background that just made it feel like it was an american pie-type trialer. Other than that it seemed alright.
I'm pretty sure the movie's gonna be better than the trialer though.
