This will be the first time for actor Edward Norton and director Spike Lee to work together. If their reputation's for being stubborn and callous are true, then it might be the last. Come May, we'll find out.

At any rate, these two Hollywood greats will get together for the screen-adaptation of David Benioff's novel, 'The 25th Hour,' and drama that lives the last day of a young man's life before he goes to prison for seven years he must serve for drug dealing. In his last hours of being free, the man takes a second look at his life, how and why he is at this point. All of this culminates to a disturbing ending.

The Walt Disney Co. will be the dollars and distributor behind the project. So don't expect anything too graphic...gotta keep it PG...
