Ed Norton has become one of Hollywood's top actors thanks to the way he can pull off some really complex characters. If it wasn't for his breakthrough role in Primal Fear, he might not have gotten as big as he is today. His performance of Aaron Stampler, the 19-year-old accused of murdering a Catholic archbishop is one that really sticks with you long after the ending credits. Primal Fear is one of the smartest legal thrillers I’ve ever scene. It’s got a great cast and one of the most brilliant and shocking endings recorded on film. This month, Paramount Home Entertainment has released Primal Fear: Hard Evidence Edition on DVD. If you’ve already seen the film, a benefit of checking out this DVD is the special features. There’s a brand new interview with Ed Norton that sheds light on how he got the role of Aaron. It’s interesting to note from the commentary by the filmmakers that the role was originally was for Leo DiCaprio, but he wound up turning it down. Good thing he did! The DVD packaging for Primal Fear: Hard Evidence Edition comes in a Ziploc bag that makes it look like evidence straight from a crime scene. Overall, this re-release of Primal Fear is a great collectible for any fan of this classic thriller.
