THE SCORE
Director Frank Oz, Robert De Niro, Angela Bassett
What happens when you throw Robert DeNiro, Marlon Brando, and Edward Norton into a room? No, its not the setup for a lame Stanislavsky gag. Wrangling "the best actors of three generations," Frank Oz directed this heist flick about a young thief (Norton) who recruits a retired crook (De Niro) for one last job. Rumors had Brando, who plays De Niro's mentor, bringing a tad too much madness to his Method (reportedly going pantsless while filming), "Marlon's an easy target," deflects Oz (left, with De Niro and costar Angela Bassett). "He's really a sweet, amazingly brilliant man." With or without trousers, we presume.
Edward Norton addressed the motivation behind Brando's behavior during filming of The Score in a October 2000 Total Film interview:
It was just that we were working on soundstages that were very hot, so sometimes when they were moving in for the higher shots he was taking his trousers off and shooting in his underwear. It was more to keep cool than anything.

Another thing to mention, the other films covered by Entertainment Weekly, had release dates, even vague ones like "Summer." There was no release date given for The Score in this article.
