Career back on track. Reminds me of Pacino

Birdman, Grand Pudapest, and Moonrise Kingdom. Three really big time movies that have come out the last couple of years. 2000s he just had a rough decade, look at Pacino during the 80s, then he picked it up during the 90s. For some reason their careers always parallel each other. Pacino career started off with The Godfathers, Dog Day Afternoon, Serpico. And Norton started off with Primal Fear, Rounders, AHX, and Fight Club.

Neat comparison, two of my favourites. Be interesting to see if he can still find some lead/interesting roles into his 50s, 60s & 70s, like Pacino.

Hopefully. He was good in Birdman but he needs to line up a couple of good leading roles. Doesn't appear to be anything in the works now.
