About Keaton:

I'd heard that when you asked him to play the part, his reply was�
"Is this a joke? Are you making fun of me?" Yeah, something along those lines. Then I explained to him why I was asking him to play the part, and he understood I was serious after about five minutes. I told him about how challenging it would be and he said, "Yeah, yeah. let's do this, it sounds great. I'm in." [Pause] I don't think he knew what he getting into, frankly. I think he was a little drunk. We drank a really good bottle of wine that night [laughs].

About Norton:

Edward Norton plays a Method-y actor who thrives on chaos and being difficult. Is his character based on anybody specific?
I won't tell you whom, but yes, he's based on several real people � including Edward Norton.

Good read . .

Good read...

When I left the theatre, the first thing that jumped into head, was this feels like Jazz...lots of room with constraints...

I also thought that Norton was poking fun at himself...but he did not write the material...so he was a gamer in that sense...
thanks

  Even watching the interviews and clips makes me want to see this again...
  
  The first watch, starts the simmering process, where it needs another viewing...
  
  Thanks again for the additional insights...
  very cool
