According to Production Weekly, Ed together withRobert De Niro have been recently attached to the cast of director John Curran’s Stone.

The director of The Painted Veil and We Don’t Live Here Anymore will bring to the cinema this story, based on a play by screenwriter Angus MacLachlan.

The plot, which is still mysterious, is about a parole officer (De Niro) who fells in love with his teaching assistant.

The shooting begins next month in Detroit.

Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions Group has acquired all media rights internationally (excluding U.K. TV) and domestic home entertainment rights to the documentary “By the People: The Election of Barack Obama.”

Produced by Edward Norton’s Class 5 Films and directed by Amy Rice and Alicia Sams, the previously untitled pic will see U.S. theatrical distribution via HBO Documentary Films.

Film follows the former Illinois senator from the announcement of his candidacy to his historic election and inauguration. Told through exclusive footage of Obama and his staff, “By the People” is touted as an all-access pass to campaign life on the road to the White House.

“From the start, it was very important to us to share this film with as broad an international audience as possible, and we’re really thrilled to be partnered with Sony in trying to achieve this,” Norton said.

Sony Pictures Television is handling sales for TV outside the U.S. and U.K., mobile and new media.

Film was financed by Good, Green Film Co., Citi Prods. and Class 5 Films.

This is a few days late but thanks to Ginna over at Oasis Web, Edward Norton Source has been picked as her site’s featured website for April 2009! This is the site’s first award, isn’t that awesome?

Today I bring you lots of photos of the 2001 film The Score. It’s not my favourite Ed film as the plot is a bit of a let-down, but watching Ed and Bob is always a pleasure. :)

Here’s my next big gallery update, this time with photos of 25th Hour, one of my favourite Ed films! I’ll be uploading screencaptures and movie stills first before I venture on to appearance photos when I get the time. So for now, enjoy the new photos in the gallery.
