You doubt the Norton? (If its true.)
BAD! BAD! Go to your room!
Shit, my concern would be if the script stinks like the Ang Lee movie did and if a good director is hired, instead of another music video-hack that is a hired-gun for the studio.
Really, Lee's movie is the first time I ever watched a tragic drama...but without any tragedy. Its like a gun without bullets or M&Ms without any filling. Bizarre as hell....
