... And I get why so many people defend him for Dent. I can see him being this charismatic, likable authority,this good friend of Bruce that shows a dark side beneath... that then becomes this tortured, torn apart person. Not sure Iīll say "Schreiber dammit!" - Iīll wait and see what would be the other choices - but letīs say i wóuldnīt mind his casting one bit...

dude, try to find the ff film and watch it too:

RKO 281: The Battle Over Citizen Kane (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120801/)
Hitler: The Rise of Evil (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0346293/)

these are TV movies, so they may be a little bit of a challenge to find, but if you liked the Manchurian Candidate, you'll like these :up:

you may also want to check out Kate and Leopold (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0035423/). he was just a supporting role there, but he was pretty good in it.

I bet L0ngshot will come here & try to make you change your mind that Liev isn't right for the role. He even said this movie didn't prove he's right for Dent. :p

L0ngshot is a complete halfwit and he should this, as well as the rest of you :).

He was very good in the film and Meryl Streep was a manipulative, coldhearted *****.

Oh yeah, she was brilliant as usual... That scene where she shows a kinda Jocasta-like (the reversal of Oedipus complex) feeling for her son really gives you the creeps...

I'm pretty sure Meryl Streep is like that in real life. She scares me.

Because everyone who disagrees with you is a halfwit. Nice.


Personally, I don't dig on Schreiber for the role, either. He's a decent actor, but I swear he's only being considered for the part because of his resemblance to Sale's art. He is fairly talented, I mean he has to be to make it in Hollywood. But, I've never seen him as anything but cold and emotionless. I've never seen the charisma or the intensity it takes to be Dent, nor the evil and rage of Two-Face.

To me, Liev would be ok, but there are much better choices.

I disagree- the fact that he resembles Sale's Dent (which is IMO the perfect Dent) is really not a factor for me at all, in fact I wanted Liev for the role since I saw the Manchurian Candidate - long before I had ever read a single Batman comic.

LOL, please don't put words in my mouth, kind sir. If you disagree with Schreiber that's fine. You're welcome to do so. The fact of the matter is however that L0ngshot is a halfwit for many reasons, like stupid arguments and retarded logic on everything, not just his opinion of why he hates Liev (which, for the record, has no backing.)

I think Schreiber would be a good choice for Harvey Dent, but my personal pick is Jaquin Phoenix.
