During the Television Critics Association Press Tour, currently running until August 8th, HBO held a panel presentation for By the People: The Election of Barack Obama, produced by actor Edward Norton.
Following the panel, talk in the hotel lobby inevitably turned to the eventual movie about The Avengers and whether or not he might be in it. The man responsible for the latest incarnation of The Hulk replied, "I won't comment on that, just because they keep a pretty tight reign on what they are letting out. I'll let them say."
When asked about the 10th anniversary of Fight Club, and how he reflects on the film's importance, he was a bit more forthcoming.
"All of us who were involved in it love that film," says Norton. "I think the best films are the ones that form their own relationship with an audience, over time. They escape the vicissitudes of critical and box office reaction, in the short term, and find their own way to their audience, over time. And, I think that film certainly feels like one of those ones that rippled out from pure person to person, and became what it became more through people's relationship with it than through any kind of intermediary, like a critic or anything like that."
