Описание: Hollywood careers don’t fail by accident.

Edward Norton had three Oscar nominations by age 40. He worked with Fincher, Spike Lee, and Woody Allen.

This video examines the contract mistake that ended his A-list career—one paragraph, one negotiation, one decision that made the most powerful studio in Hollywood quietly decide he was no longer worth the risk.
