Edward Norton 'hopeful for Brad Pitt reunion'

Edward Norton has teased that a long-awaited reunion with Fight Club colleague Brad Pitt is still a "possibility".

The pair captivated audiences with their on-screen chemistry in David Fincher's 1999 cult classic, but their proposed team-up in 2009 thriller State Of Play failed to materialise when they both pulled out of the project.

Speaking to Contactmusic, Norton explained that working with Pitt again was a "complicated" but achievable prospect.

"It's a possibility. We've talked about it but me and Brad being in something together is a complicated thing to put together," he said.

Despite his desire to satisfy fans, Norton insisted that he will always prioritise the "novelty" of the movie-making experience over his choice of co-stars.

"A lot of why I do something is just the novelty of the experience, though I would say the things that I'm drawn to most personally are things that I feel have some sort of finger on the pulse of the zeitgeist or that are grappling with complex issues," he said. "Those are the films that always meant the most to be growing up."
