Due to his Tourette’s, he tends to spit out random thoughts, but that doesn’t stop him from using the very limited clues that he has as well as his incredible memory to help him figure the mystery out!
When asking Norton aobut the overall story of the film, he shared that there is a song in the film called “daily battles” which could be seen as the theme of the whole film.
“In many ways I think that’s the theme, everybody is dealing with personal struggles.”
This film is based on Jonathan Lethem’s 1999 novel but was shifted to the ’50s for this film which Ethan Suplee who plays Gilbert Coney says talks about topics that are still relevant to today.
