I can't wait to watch this, but every time I even see a picture of Edward Norton dressed up like a pink Rhino, I literally laugh until I cry!
sharesame here i guess its so funny because my first memories of him are as a neo nazi skinhead and now i see him as a purple rhino lol
shareMy reaction too. The first scene were he plays at that clinic in his homemade Smoochy-costume makes me laugh so hard!
shareThat scene is just the best. Edward is just adorable the entire movie.
Lets build a snowman!
Edward Norton *made* this movie too. Who knew he could do great comedy (well, I knew he could do black comedy via Fight Club, but he was the "straight man" in that, whereas he's the eccentric in this). I swear he can do *anything*.

Edward Norton is awesome. He's hilarious in this

Just for the sake of being insufferably analytical, the acting challenge was much more than how to be funny in a purple rhino suit, but how to portray a character who spontaneously, for some reason, creates a purple rhino character to portray publicly, in the character's fictional world.
There's a lot of complexity there. The rhino impersonator needs to become a romantic lead, and also a hero crime fighter.
I think Norton made it all work, for me anyway.

Hell yes!!! Norton has always been a favourite actor of mine, and I usually like directors rather than actors. But he was this innocent looking kind man singing to guys who were on the nod at the clinic, baha! Yet other films he has done he is anything BUT innocent!
But then there is Primal Fear, where he just blows everyone else away. I couldn't figure him out in that movie until it was revealed, and I was still surprised!!
Are his recent movies worth renting? I never saw the Illusionist and for some reason I stopped following his roles since.
