The new version, a reinvention of the action-oriented heist movie, will be set in Italy and Los Angeles. It stars Wahlberg as Charlie, head of a robbery crew who stages a traffic jam in order to steal back a safe filled with gold that previously had been stolen by a double-crossing associate (Norton). Theron plays Charlie's love interest (HR/30). Norton, repped by Endeavor, is currently shooting Disney's "The 25th Hour" for director Spike Lee. He next stars in Universal Pictures' "Red Dragon" and Miramax Films' "Frida."(Zorianna Kit) Main Page || Biography || News || Films || Articles || Photo Gallery || Multimedia || Site Map || Website UpdatesLast updated on Wednesday, December 06, 2006 If you have new information on Edward Norton (and you can provide a verifiable and reputable source), please email me- Susan Note: Articles and images have been posted without permission for noncommercial and nonprofit use
