"Invincible Hulk" and "Birdman" actor Edward Norton wrote, directed, and acted in the film "Motherless Brooklyn" (Motherless Brooklyn). The journey of the screen began in 1999, when he read the novel of the same name before it went on sale, and was attracted by the protagonist "Leno Eslow" who suffers from Tourette's disease and obsessive-compulsive disorder in the book. Before the official publication, I discussed with author Jonathan Lesser that I wanted to adapt the characters in a non-traditional creative way, put the characters into different era backgrounds, and give it the noir film (crime suspense film) of the 1950s private detectives. After obtaining the permission of the author and buying the copyright of the film, Norton's detailed and thorough character research and the long process of adapting the script were also launched.

When Edward Norton first read this highly creative and must-read 100 mystery novel recommended by Amazon Bookstore 20 years ago, he fell in love with this vibrant alternative Marginal hero, everyone might think of the protagonist Leno as a "freak", but what he sees in this character is a kind of resonance of human pursuit, and he can neither understand other people's lies nor the tricks of opening joints. , I can’t help but think about all things that are out of order.
Edward Norton said: "If there are some nerve cells in my brain that are messed with, I will likely become him, and I will most likely encounter the same natural dilemma. As an actor, I hardly acted. I have had a character that is very similar to my own situation, but this work is a bit exception. Listening to his inner voice will make me feel intimacy. Leno really resonates with me a lot.” Just as Leno often has an impulse in his heart, He wanted to analyze what was most important to him, but he also felt a strong attraction and wanted to play this role that fascinated him.
is so excited about encountering characters, Edward Norton believes that the actors themselves have reached a certain level of maturity, they will obviously feel their strengths, and they will know themselves better than others. Sometimes there is a character that is exactly what we want to see the star perform, and some people just know that certain plans can link their DNA. This is a very exciting situation, and it will also push some excellent actors to take up the burden and do more tasks in one hand. This is how he feels about "Brooklyn Orphan".
Edward Norton thinks it further: "I found that some of my favorite movie characters are mixed with the interaction of sadness, frustration, humor and toughness. I want to inject various elements into this to resonate and resonate with me. Moving characters, as well as in-depth exploration of the story about the city I live in-New York."
