Tony Kaye, the writer/director/creator of American History X hates him because Ed Norton fixed it and made a great film out of it, cutting and reshaping great chunks of the film that Kaye had envisioned.
Tony Kaye then went insane and I dunno if he has worked since. Kaye's version sounds like a real mess if you ever get a chance to read about it.
The Incredible Hulk film, Ed Norton went a bit mad and is possibly the reason it was so incoherent. I remember a lot of shit got thrown his way for his idea that Omar(literally the character of Omar from The Wire) had to be in it. There are apparently a few scenes of Omar that didn't make it.
There are other examples but if you watch Birdman his character is essentially an OTT parody of his reputation. Oddly everyone thinks the main parody is Keaton because of similarities with his career but that only goes so far. Norton in that film is basically playing himself to the Nth degree.
