Here's the first official trailer (+ score) for Edward Norton's Motherless Brooklyn, from WB's YouTube:
Set against the backdrop of 1950s New York, Motherless Brooklyn follows Lionel Essrog (Norton), a lonely private detective afflicted with Tourette's Syndrome, as he ventures to solve his friend's (Willis) murder. Armed only with a few small clues and the powerful engine of his obsessive mind, Lionel unravels closely-guarded secrets that hold the fate of the whole city in the balance. Motherless Brooklyn is directed by American actor-turned-filmmaker Edward Norton, his second feature film after first directing Keeping the Faith in 2000. The screenplay is also written by Edward Norton, adapted from Jonathan Lethem's novel of the same name. This will premiere at the Toronto & New York Film Festival this fall. Warner Bros will debut Norton's Motherless Brooklyn in select theaters starting November 1st in the fall. First impression?
