SXSW Quick Snaps: Edward Norton Times Two

 

So far, SXSW Film has been a whirlwind of panels, red-carpet premieres, films, interviews and celebrity sightings, with barely enough time to breathe and eat before the next "can't miss" event on my schedule. What's been most amazing is how comfortable and relaxed major stars and filmmakers have been at SXSW premieres, including Jean Pierre-Jeunet (Micmacs à tire-larigot) and Jay and Mark Duplass (Cyrus) hamming it up for the cameras. The biggest highlight by far has been Edward Norton, who I've seen several times over the weekend. He and Tim Blake Nelson were busy with the premiere of their film Leaves of Grass on Friday night at the Alamo South Lamar -- you can see him below on the red
carpet for that film.

At our interview on Saturday afternoon Edward stated that he was looking forward to catching a movie while at the festival. Therefore, it was not a surprise to see him make a quiet and subdued entrance into the premiere of Cyrus on Saturday evening (pictured above).

Check back soon for the full interview with Edward Norton and Tim Blake Nelson -- both of them were polite and eager to talk.  Look for my review of Leaves of Grass closer to its theatrical release. We will also have more SXSW red-carpet coverage -- I've made it to seven major red carpets in three days. You can get a sneak peak at our SXSW 2010 Flickr photo page.
