Description

Motherless Brooklyn is a 2019 American neo-noir crime film written, produced and directed by Edward Norton, based on the 1999 novel of the same name by Jonathan Lethem. Set in 1957 New York City, the film follows a private investigator with Tourette's syndrome who must solve the murder of his mentor. Norton also stars in the film, along with Bruce Willis, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Bobby Cannavale, Cherry Jones, Dallas Roberts, Alec Baldwin, and Willem Dafoe. A passion project of Norton's ever since he read Lethem's novel in 1999, the film took nearly 20 years to go into production. Although the book is set in modern times, Norton felt the plot and dialogue lent themselves more to a noir setting, moving it to the 1950s. Other members of the cast joined by February 2018, and principal photography began that same month. The film had its world premiere at the Telluride Film Festival on August 30, 2019, and is scheduled to be released in the United States on November 1, 2019, by Warner Bros. Pictures. It received generally favorable reviews from critics.
