Maroni throws antacid into Dent's face. Anatcid is a base. :wow:

Antacid also doesn't burn your skin. It was clearly a wrongly marked bottle.

[Katsuro]

Edit: Look
Maroni throws antacid into Dent's face. Anatcid is a base. :wow:

Lol, you do realize that what he throw on Dent's face wasn't his real medicine, right? He put acid into his medicine bottle. After what that stuff did to his face, I can't imagne they'd sell that stuff for human consumption.

[WorthyStevens]

Good choice.

We've probably lost a great choice for Angel (if there were ever an X-Men reboot), but he's a damn fine actor to play Harvey Dent.

[Rynan]

I did not know such a little bottle could contain such a giant fountain of acid as depicted in that comic. :huh:

:D:up:

i think nolan will burn away the hair on the scarred side of the face. try it with half hair stubbles leading into regular hair. looks great though

[blind_fury]

Good choice.

Eckhart would've made a horrible Angel. :o

[WorthyStevens]

Eckhart would've made a horrible Angel. :o

He's naturally (I'm assuming) blonde, has the look of a millionaire playboy, is pretty suave and if you've seen Thank You for Smoking can be cocky and over-his-head. Aaron's a great actor and could play him well.

[DACrowe]

Great casting. Near perfect, actually.

I'm very happy with this.

[batboy99]

ew no,eckhart woulda been a horrible angel IMO, angels more young,especially cuz they only brought him in in x3

[newwaveboy87]

I did not know such a little bottle could contain such a giant fountain of acid as depicted in that comic. :huh:

they shook it up before hand. :huh: :dry:

[WorthyStevens]

ew no,eckhart woulda been a horrible angel IMO, angels more young,especially cuz they only brought him in in x3

That's why I said a reboot. Every character would be restarted in a sense, which could allow Angel to be much older as he should.

[Capt. Jack]

I HATE THIS CASTING

TWO WORDS (as one word)

PAYCHECK!!!!

i actually do not think eckhart is a fine actor in films like thank you for smoking but come on he is not harvey dent

but its not my choice im just a dumb fan but i just do not agree...

[Johnny DC]

Eckhart? ...I like it! :) :up:

[BatScot]

Thank god that's over with.

Latino Review again! Oh how the mighty have fallen... why do I have the feeling that whoever ended up being cast that he would have been declared the "BEST, IMO"? Typical :rolleyes:

That being said... Ledger and Eckhart are fine choices and I look forward to seeing their performances.

[DCW]

Excellent casting IMO. This movie keeps getting better and better!

Sweet! Just fix the "dent" in his chin.... he he

[BatScot]

The best chin in Hollywood has landed a part in The Dark Knight?I was feeling good about things until I read this... made me think of Clooney and B&R.

Doh!

;)

[RedIsNotBlue]

Bruce Campbell has the best chin in Hollywood. Oh yeah fantastic casting by the way. He was faboulous in Thank You For Smoking and a nice addition to the already talented cast.

[batboy99]

Sweet! Just fix the "dent" in his chin.... he he
hehe i didnt even notice that

[General Vulcun]

Um...yay Eckhart, woo.

[The Sage]

Well, I'm glad that's over. Here's hoping Eckhart delivers. And I hope they dye his hair.

Now I just need a script review or detailed outline, something.

[L.A.]

It depends if he gets acid in it or not.
If the acid gets his entire left face, you think it would hit his eye as well.

Here you go... edited your post for you.

Abso-freaking-lutely superb news! I'm extremely happy to hear this!

"ECKHART f**k yeah! Come to save the motherf**kin' day! Yeah!"

[javi1024]

awesome. im very happy with the choice. not a young pretty actor, not a huge spotlight actor.

[Batman1939]

Very nice casting YAYAYAYYA

Great addition to a great cast. Hes perfect for Dent.

[Shoemeister]

Excellent news. I'm excited and even more relieved. Now let's get this thing started!

[THE MR. TERRIFIC]

Eckhart's a great choice!

[zerohour films]

I was very excited to hear the news. Here is a little something I threw together to celebrate......

[FlawlessVictory]

^ Very cool! :up:

[odiin]

Anybody kind of sad now that we'll have to wait another like 3 years before we actually get to see him as two-face. Almost makes me want to go through time, skipping The Dark Knight in order to see Aaron as Two-Face now, ALMOST.

[Seen]

Superb casting. Eckhart and Gyllenhaal are fantastic additions to an already prestigious torrent of A-list performers.

[LostSon88]

Not really...right now my anticipation is moreso for The Joker.

Maybe after TDK i'll get hyped to see Two-Face, but right now its the Joker I can't wait to see.

[Seen]

I just relish at how Nolan will pull off Two-Face ... I mean, if he draws inspiration from THE LONG HALLOWEEN, which he already has in a way and we all know he will more for the third installment, and with Eckhart in the role ... I mean, man, I am looking forward to Nolan's portrayal of The Joker immensely, but something tells me he is going to absolutely NAIL Two-Face, and not in that way. ;)

Two-Face is one of the most complex, introverted, well-developed of Batman's Rogue Gallery and if Nolan develops Dent's relationship with Bruce/Batman like we all know he will, and nails Dent's crusader purpose ... I think we're all in for one hellueva characterization of one of Batman's most iconic baddies.

And with The Joker ... damn, we're in good hands. :up:

[drastic_quench]

Eckhart is hardly an exciting choice. It's just.....average, and it reeks of 3rd or 4th choice.

Agreed. Serviceable but not fantastic.

[FCEEVIPER]

"Didn't you get the memo?"...

[kenellard]

very happy with the casting, although I already knew it was him, a post of mine from last week;

I've just got word from an insider source that says a new candidate is practically signing on the dotted line as we speak, I can't say who right now but lets just say they'll pick the right MAN for the job, and that no other ACTOR would've been right for the role. anyway I'm off to make some toast with WHITE bread, and some butter from my AMERICAN style fridge...........

beat that TEH BOF :ninja:

[Retroman]

Hey Eckhart, think about the future.:woot:

http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/4127/3424ly5.jpg

[Dark Knight]

Sounds like things are finally rolling this week....like we were all hoping for! Seems like all the pieces are in place for filming in 3 weeks. Thumbs up!

[Dark Knight]

Anybody kind of sad now that we'll have to wait another like 3 years before we actually get to see him as two-face. Almost makes me want to go through time, skipping The Dark Knight in order to see Aaron as Two-Face now, ALMOST.


I have a feeling we will see him scarred towards the end of TDK....in a tragic cliffhanger type of set up for the 3rd film.

[kedrell]

Great news! Eckhart will do fine, I'm confident. Glad it didn't go to Schreiber, Phoenix, Walberg, Phillipe or Lucas. I trust Nolan even more now.

[Dark Knight]

Great job! I like your scarring effect....it's very realistic and subtle.

[blind_fury]

Yeah me too. Eckhart is the only one I can imagine going toe to toe with the Dark Knight.

[kedrell]

Eckhart's got the Jack Webb look I always imagined for Dent.

[mopho]

i never cared for Eckhart, but i think he'll make an awesome Dent! i hope he has dark hair though...

...a little trivia from imdb.com


"(Eckhart) Was Darren Aronofsky's choice for James Gordon for the doomed "Batman: Year One" project."

actually at some point we was involved in bruce wayne/batman casting, was one of the strongest choices, but i dont remember whose directors choice

[Red]

I approve.

[dark_b]

nolan again casted a great actor.
in nolan we still trust.

[Attikus]

Eckart could have been Batman and since Harvey is supposed to be a mirror to Bruce...this is phenomenal casting. This Two-Face can go toe-to-toe with Baleman and it will be amazing to see. can't wait!

[Nepenthes]

FINALLY! Dent is cast!


but it's Aaron Ekhart :csad:. Of course I'll keep and open mind and you'll never hear me whinging on Nolan, but this is just really.....unexciting.

He's a great actor though and I hope he finds what it takes to pull Two-Face off. It will certainly be a breakout performance.

[RedIsNotBlue]

He looks like Thomas Jane's twin. I wonder if he would have been considered if he didn't do the Punisher.

Why Didnt Anyone Mention Thomas Jane Before This!?!?!??!

[fabman]

Great Casting!! I'm Glade Eckhart Got The Part!

[rashad]

Great choice.

[Antonello Blueberry]

He looks like Thomas Jane's twin. I wonder if he would have been considered if he didn't do the Punisher.

Well, I don't think Thomas Jane was ever nominated for a Golden Globe. Maybe he'll start getting more jobs now because he looks like Aaron Eckhart.

[odiin]

Why Didnt Anyone Mention Thomas Jane Before This!?!?!??!

It actually was mentioned in the first thread back when LR initially reported on Eckhart being the front runner for Dent

[Compi716]

What I especially like about Eckhart as Dent (aside from the fact that he's a good actor), is that he's also good looking. I'm hoping he shows some sense of slight vanity, so that when his face is taken from him, it's all the more painful - physically and mentally. And we, the audience, have to feel that pain.

[LadyVader]

I've ALWAYS confused Thomas Jane to Aaron Eckhart. For the longest time I was convinced that Thomas Jane starred in the Core. :)

Oh, and I don't know how to feel about this casting choice. On the one hand I'm glad we FINALLY know. On the other hand most of Eckhart's roles have been, well, pretty wimpy. :) The traditional good guy. I don't know if he can pull off a darker character, but hey, Nolan picked him so maybe he saw something there.

[Steelsheen]

great news! although his name wasnt suggested before, i can see the Harvey Dent/ Two Face in Eckhart. good casting choice as always Nolan and Co. :up:


I've ALWAYS confused Thomas Jane to Aaron Eckhart. For the longest time I was convinced that Thomas Jane starred in the Core. :)
actually the resemblance between Eckhart and Sean Bean is even more evident. some of my LOTR buddies are joking that we should've cast this guy as Faramir instead :D

Jolie fits every facet of Selina Kyle,it was as if they invented Catwoman so years later Jolie could play her
strange, i feel the same way about Jolie and Wonder Woman :O

[Van Petrol]

Great news! :up::up:

[Bad Superman]

Just read the news about Eckhart. Great casting choice!!!

I hope he signs up for the gig.

[itsthebatman]

I don't know if he can pull off a darker character, but hey, Nolan picked him so maybe he saw something there.

In Neil LaBute's In the Company Of Men, Eckhart played a very sleazy businessman taking advantage of a trusting blind secretary, and forcing his naive associate to go along with it. THAT character was definitely not a nice guy. Even in The Black Dahlia, a very disappointing movie, he played a conflicted cop, shades of grey, not just a traditional good guy, and was the best thing in it. I have no doubts he can pull it off.

[Antonello Blueberry]

Yes, but wasn't the secretary deaf?

[Darknightnomis]

I can dig this casting.

He has a sort of "righteous indignation" look behind him, so when he's in pursuit for criminals as Harvey Dent it will be believable plus he's a solid actor.

It's going to be ineresting to see his transformation into 2 face. I wonder has he ever protrayed anyone physchotic?

[LadyVader]

I've never seen In the company of men but... I can't believe my main complaint about Aaron Eckhart is "he's too much of a nice guy". :)

On the other hand, he seems very intelligent so hopefully he'll have a good raport with the fanbase. I prefer him over Edward Norton or Jamie Foxx anyway. I was really not seeing Foxx in the role.

[Arkard]

The only way to see Jamie Foxx as Harey Dent is to undergo a long and costly process, consisting mostly of every-month lobotomies, while listening to pop music, finishing with a healthy diet of pure industrial lead.

[itsthebatman]

Yes, but wasn't the secretary deaf?

Yes. haven't seen it in ages. :csad: I messed up. Big time. I'm gonna stand in the corner for a while.

I don't think Norton and Foxx were good choices, but I can't say I'm enthused about Eckhart either. I think there are others that would have been better but the last movie was great so l guess Nolan knows what he's doing.

[LionHeart]

Is it just me, or do Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, and Aaron Eckhart have a very similiar facial structure, almost like they could be family; its not a problem for me, just interesting.

[Two-Face]

i was hoping for Phoenix



Me too but Eckhart is a good choice, thank god we could've got Foxx or Ryan Phippile or Kutcher.

Jamie Foxx is an awesome actor look at Collateral, Miami Vice, Ray, and Dreamgirls in all four he plays 4 distinctly different characters, so please don't belittle him due to this own personal likes and dislikes. As for Edward Norton he rocks too but I don't see him in this type of role.

[LadyVader]

I didn't say he was a bad actor, just that I didn't see him in the role. :)

@ Lionheart.
Hmmm... Maybe Eckheart is like a cross between Bale's features and Ledger's, but I really don't see that big of a resemblance between Ledger and Christian Bale. You wanna talk freaky resemblances, watch BSG!
You got... Jamie Bamber

[fletch1076]

This is great news. Now has anyone heard if they still plan on having the Penguin and is Hoffman still up for it?

[doomreaper X]

Finally. Dent has been cast! I trust Eckhart will portray him well.

[MechaOrga]

Great news about Eckhart! What a load off my mind(those Jamie Foxx/Phillipe rumors awhile ago got me worried...)

Im not as jazzed as i would be if it was PHEONIX DAMMIT or NORTON DAMMIT or even DAMON DAMMIT but Aaron Eckhart is a good settle.

I'm confused though. Since Damon is closer to Bale's age, I was assuming that Dent and Wayne would be old friends from princeton(just a feeling i had) but now they went with someone who looks considerably older than Bale. I wonder if they are tweaking Dents story now that Eckhart is cast?

[AnimeJune]

Hmmm....Eckhart...not an actor I personally had in mind, but still an excellent choice - he's got the look and the bat***** insanity down pat, already. Plus, he's fantastically attractive.

I'm sure Liev Schrieber will get his day in the super-hero-adaptation-sun at some point, but it's Eckhart's time now.

[DorkyFresh]

http://www.videoclub.ro/images/actori/aaroneckhart.jpghttp://images.askmen.com/men/entertainment_150/pictures_150/christian_bale/christian_bale_150c.jpg

he doesn't look THAT much older, imo. besides...we're talking about a sequel to a movie where Michael Caine and Rutger Hauer look the same age as they are now in Bruce's flashback.

[FaT_tONle]

I don't think there will be.. this movie is going to be darker..much darker...she will die, dent transformed..one hell of a movie ahead of us.

If we are thinking the joker will kill her... cmon we just gotto be more original than that...

[Moviefan2k4]

Slightly off-topic, but does anyone notice a resemblance of Aaron Eckhart to Sean Bean? They could play fraternal twins, IMO...

[itsthebatman]

I'd kinda designed it the way it is, with the white bar. But nice job!

[Octoberist]

I thought that white bar was done intentional; very artsy.

[batman7289]

omg i cant wait.
eckhart is a great actor and has the teriffic look.

[explode7]

I'm too sure about this dude he doesn't look top notch for TDK. He doesn't look menancing enough.

[Mr. Thing]

I thought that white bar was done intentional; very artsy.

Yep, it was indeed intentional.

[Mr. Thing]

I'm too sure about this dude he doesn't look top notch for TDK. He doesn't look menancing enough.

Well, he's playing Harvey Dent, so it's a good thing.

[explode7]

I'm holding off my judgement for him until I see him in a movie. For now I'm clueless as to how he really acts

[-rc2k-]

Great news, I believe he'll do a great job as Dent. He's a pretty decent actor.

[Goran]

I don't really like Eckhart... actually I don't like him at all. We'll see if he's the right choice for Dent.

[theShape]

About time Dent was cast. Now we've got a cast that's really shaping up. Can't wait for more news.

[L0ngsh0t]

Totally

The movie is so deep now

Maggie Gyllenhaal easily replaces the weakest link from BB, and now there with Dent solidified with a great talent, there is no reason I can't hail this movie my most anticipated movie for 2008, and probably tied, or a little behind AWE for most anticipated movie period

Go TDK

[mopho]

This is great news. Now has anyone heard if they still plan on having the Penguin and is Hoffman still up for it?

i hope not penguin here, with two villiams is enough, ir it would be in danger to become a batman and robin/spiderman 3 carnaval
with two main villians is enough

[Excel]

i still have trouble seeing him as two face...

[Silver Souper]

you know what's great and we were worried about- eckhart is PURE american golden boy in the looks department. that is a huge part of dent's psychodrama once he becomes two-face. i'm really happy about this...

[Cinemaman]

GREAT!!! :up:

[L0ngsh0t]

i still have trouble seeing him as two face...


Yeah but I think it would be tough to see most people as two face, it's all gunna depend on the make up job they do, and how well Aaron plays it

[Fanticon]

Love Eckhart...he's grown on me in the last few years...I think its a good choice...and he's got the chin for it.

[david icke]

Very pleased about this casting. MaggieG too if true. Y'know if RachelD's screentime is indeed short and her dress/style/hair's the same as BB a lot of folk who aint hardcore won't notice the change.
Gonna have to get ahold of some Ekhart movies, only saw a little of 'In the company of men' when it was on tv, he played bad well from what i saw. They've got a great big face to experiment with the two-face make-up, the guy was born for this, and as HDent he's big enough to stand toe to toe with Batman in an argument.

[criticalcasting]

Slightly off-topic, but does anyone notice a resemblance of Aaron Eckhart to Sean Bean? They could play fraternal twins, IMO...

If I did an X-Men reboot, I'd consider Sean Bean as a Magneto candidate...and yes, in some pictures Bean and Eckhart have slight similarities.

Thank You for Smoking was bomb

he is solid and will make the movie very good, great choice

[LEX]

Just heard about the news and I am definitely very pleased about this. So pleased that I almost jumped out of the window to do somersaults. Eckhart is a great choice. I can almost easily see him in the part. Had different actor choices in my mind before I saw the news though, but he's not a bad consolation prize. I don't think there's anyone I'd be happier to see fill the role than him. Also ecstatic to see that Freeman will be returning. The cast is nearly set.

[Cinemaman]

Oh yeah, Echkart is Dent, Freeman is back, Holmes was replaced by a much better actress... What´s not to love?

Well... shooting start date :D :up:

[cerealkiller182]

Although never my first choice, I am very happy with this choice especially after just recently seeing The Black Dahlia (not a great movie, but I found Eckhart to resemble Dent in it)

[L0ngsh0t]

Although never my first choice, I am very happy with this choice especially after just recently seeing The Black Dahlia (not a great movie, but I found Eckhart to resemble Dent in it)

agreed

["V"]

Okay, boys and girls, been out of the loop for a while so what's this about Maggie Gyllenhall being cast?

Eckheart certainly looks the part, but I've only seen him in Paycheck playing generic friend turned bad guy and wasn't moved. What's he like?

[The Shredder]

So Echkart is Dent?

Thats cool. Definately no worries here. :up:

[Darkest Knight]

I don't know how I feel about this casting. It's just, whatever, to me. Personally, I thought Foxx would've been an inspired choice.

As for Jolie as Catwoman? Yuck, too cliche. Plus, she's one of the most overrated girls in the looks department of all-time.

[skruloos]

On the one hand, you praise pop culture's current IT boy with Foxx and denounce current sultry IT girl with Jolie? Way to destroy your credibility with one sentence.

As for Eckhart...he's a fantastic choice. He's a great actor. He can take his cocky character from In the Company of Men and just build upon that.

[DorkyFresh]

when Harvey gets hit with the acid, i think it'd be a cool little homage if they wrapped Harvey's head in bandages similar to the way his head was wrapped in bandages in "the Dark Knight Returns" or Hush's style.

[Capt. Jack]

Here you go... edited your post for you.

har har at least i have some god damn humility i know my opinion doesnt matter but it is just that... MY OPINION

i said i think eckhart is a fine actor i just do not dig him as dent

there is such a thing as being a good actor and sucking in the role

look at tommy lee jones in the same role

i know it wont be that campy and it probably wasnt jones's fault at all but just an example

so yeah eckhart good actor but bad cast in my opinion

is he better than jamie foxx or josh lucas MY GOD YES!

just not anything like i imagined

so lay off being a dick...

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

i would imagine we will see him in hospital, i would like to see him hide his burnt side for a little while as well.

Dent is cast? Freeman is returning?

You know, I think the Joker said it best... "LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL!!! HEEHAHAHAHEE!"

[Keyser Sushi]

I was wishing Eckhart would be Dent... and..
Walah!

Can you grant wishes to others, or only make your own come true?

Oh, and by the way... "Walah" is not a word. The word you are looking for is "voila!"

However, the word is French, so it's miracle anyone knows how to spell it. :hyper:

we have to know now!!!!!!!!!!!

[Keyser Sushi]

Where's StorminNorman? We need him to start his chin thread dedicated to Eckhart! LOL

Too right. I'm looking foward to posting in that thread when it happens.

God created the Universe from the little divot he carved out of Eckhart's chin.

How is that possible, you ask, since the Universe clearly pre-dates Eckhart's chin? The answer is that God is Michael Caine, and therefore is all-powerful.

Also, Eckhart's chin existed before time began. It simply took a few billion years for God to see fit to unveil it.

:D

Oh, God, where is Norm? NORM!!! Get your ass to the Hype! and start that thread... :up:

Even though I'm not particularly excited about recent news it's good to see the place alive and a lot of you finally happy with no more casting panic attacks:yay:

Exactly. Look, I don't give a damn that Eckhart is Dent. I've never seen the guy's work and until his name came up in the Dent mix rumor mill, I'd never even heard of him. So yeah, I don't give a damn that Eckhart is Dent.

HOWEVER...

<drumroll>

I very much give a damn that SOMEBODY is Dent, and that we know who, and people are predominantly thrilled with the news.

Talkin' bout those good vibrations... such a sweeeeeeeeeeeet sensation...

[Milkman95]

Bad ass news, Eckhart will be fantastic.

Another great actor that isn't a huge name - exactly how he cast BB.......

Hey, I never said I wasn't a boob.

I have not been here in more than 24 hours, so I thought this was a today thread. :o

That's right. I was... first without power, trying not to freeze... then watching 24 on DVD, buying pants at Wal*Mart, sleeping, working, eating, cleaning, answering PM's... and only then did I find out about this news.

So, I am a boob... but I am a busy boob. Which is arguably the best sort of boob. :o

Totally. Since I'd never heard of Aaron Eckhart before his name came up here, Lieutenant Eckhart was the only Eckhart in my brain until then. So when I saw people talking about Eckhart for Dent, at first, back then.... I was like, "Eh?" :o

I think that's a good thing. Very smart casting. Remember, this film he's Harvey Dent. A likeable character. We really can't see him as anything bad or evil...then, bam!

Batman (1989) .... Lt. Eckhardt

IMDb says the actor passed away in 2005. (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0393853/)


Love the casting and ending the drought of news.

[LostSon88]

Don't forget, he was also Porkins in Star Wars.

[Warhammer]

Great choice.
Solid, nonetheless.

My main man Liev just didn't get his cut this time. :csad:

[Damiean Dark]

It seems to me to be a casting out of desperation with filming jus around the corner eckhart is certainly not the first choice for dent. the casting is solid but nothing more eckhart doesnt have the x factor as an actor he reminds me of thomas jane (the guy in punisher) good looking, a decent actor but not a great one he has been mentioned here but not seroiusly considered among the more talented actors mentioned in the early days of casting spectulation (Washinton, terrence howard, ed norton, viggo morteson, etc) I am personally dissappointed with the casting but ill keep an open mind till after the movie.

Good cast. I remember wanting to see Aaron Eckhart play Daredevil given he looks closely similar to John Romita's Matt Murdock. :word:

Here's a good question. I'm curious to know from all of the people here who wanted Guy Pearce to play Harvey Dent. Are y'all able to deal with Pearce not being casted?

If Miranda can deal with it, then so can I...though I never really wanted Pearce.

[Muziko]

My personal choice for Dent/2Face was Liev Schreiber, he looks like the character drawings in "The Long Halloween" to me (he doesn't look like Dent exactly, but something about him makes me think about the drawings in that novel)
I think Eckhart should be able to pull off an excellent job of playing Dent/Two-Face. He's a good actor, and he has a "dark comic movie" look (if that makes any sense) Either way, we have some casting news, so I'm happy about that. Honestly, I'm kind of shocked at how EARLY in the process the film is...and fans are going kwazy about it.... we still have more than a year's waiting time. I'm not knocking anyone for it... hell, I'm a fan myself, and I love the creative side of the movie-making process. I bet Nolan didn't count on leaving such an impact on the "Bat-Community" (or can I say Bat-munity?)... :)

[QUOTE=Majik1387;11200488]Well seeing as how the other 3 aren't good choices at all for Dent, I'm more happy.[o overexposed/QUOTE]



Foxx would have been a horrible choice. I was actually glad Damon turned it down...he has become a bit to overexposed IMO. He is in too many films and he practically acts the same way. Norton would have been cool though....but Eckhart has more of the physical features of Dent. I'm sure Eckhart will surprise us. He was good in Suspect Zero, Black Dahlia, The Core, Erin Brokovich

[newwaveboy87]

Gillian Anderson would be killer as Gilda Dent :up:

Having Gilda Dent will be too much since they main characaters

Batman/Bruce
Alfred
Lt Gordon
Lucius Fox
The Joker
DA Harvey Dent
A.DA Rachel Dawes
Black Mask (maybe)
Sal Maroni
Maybe Scarecrow??

Damn he's definitely looking like an Apollo there.

[newwaveboy87]

i don't see Scarecrow or Black Mask being in this. if anything, Black Mask will have the amount of screentime Zsasz had in BB. and Sal Maroni wouldn't have to be that big of a character in TDK, since Two-Face won't show up until the third movie.

Gilda could always just be a "blink and you'll miss it" cameo like Gordon's wife and kid in BB.

Well, I think Nolan got to show least Scarecrow captured "we still haven't picked up Crane or the inmates he freed."

[Mr. Thing]

Why do people want his hair dyed? It's not really a big requirement.

[newwaveboy87]

not necessarily. he could just have one of the characters, probably Dent or Dawes say that some of the characters had been captured. it'd take less time away from the plot than actually having to show Scarecrow in a gratuitous cameo that has no purpose.

[newwaveboy87]

Why do people want his hair dyed? It's not really a big requirement.

because people want the character to look exactly like the comic counterparts. duh.

even though Pfeiffer as Kyle and Basinger as Vale both being blonde while their characters had black and red hair didn't affect the movies at all. neither did Jean's constantly changing red colored hair in the X-Men movies. or Franco and Dafoe having brunette hair instead of auburn in the Spidey films. or Molina's dark brown almost black instead of brown.

also...both movie Alfred's have white hair and no mustache.

[newwaveboy87]

also...both movie Alfred's have white hair and no mustache.

and Lucius is slightly older than he is in the comics and animated series.

there's really no point in dying his hair. it's not important to the character. it's pretty rare that something like that is. the ones that come to mind have it in a strange color...like Polaris, Storm, Psylocke, Joker, Ivy (when she has the vine hair), Rogue, Livewire, and so on.

[Mr. Thing]

Also, if he kept his blonde hair, it'd make him look more "Apollo-ish".

A quote from Mr. Eckhart himself:

Eckhart Confirms Dent Role
Author: Jett (http://www.superherohype.com/forums/bio_jett.html)
Saturday, February 17, 2007 - 5:00 PM CENTRAL TIME: Aaron Eckhart himself has confirmed that he is indeed Harvey Dent, allegedly:
“I've been reading the site for a long time and have wanted to write something, but I've never been lucky enough to actually have any news. As you might have guessed, I'm now writing because I do.
If you're looking for confirmation, Mr. Eckhart recently was the special guest at the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival for region eight. Almost at the very beginning of his presentation, he specifically stated that he was cast as ‘Harvey Dent/Two-Face.’ He has a ‘strong sense of where he wants to go’ with the character, he says, and he doesn't really see himself as a villain. He wants the audience to understand why it is that he does what he does.
It sounded great to me. I made sure to shoot this off to you at BOF the first chance I got, since it's obviously relevant. Anyway, keep up the great work on the site!”
Thanks to "The Dark Knight Also Acts" for the info...

http://www.batman-on-film.com/batmovienews.html

The quotes sound great, if they´re true. Anyway, the HP and Variety reports pretty much made his casting official. "In final talks" is Hollywood slang for "he´s got the part, they´re just sorting out contract details, schedule, etc."

Aoran Eckhart cast as Dent/Two-Face

Good choice or bad choice?

[Tojo]

Middle of the road choice. Neither good nor bad. Indifferent.

I know i wanted Phoenix more than anyone, as i think he is the best choice and a FAR better one than Eckhart.

However, i will back Eckhart and reserve judgement until i see the film. Which 2 yrs away :csad:

I agree Phoenix would've been great as DA Harvey Dent, Nolan's choice isn't a bad at all and I'm glad it wan't Jamie Foxx or Edward Norton because I want Norton for The Riddler.

[Damiean Dark]

The indifference for such a major character (second of batmans villains only to the Joker) is a sign people dont want eckhart as dent his acting to me is the same indifferent neither good nor bad he doesnt have the x factor he is in a word boring for such a dynamic intense character such as dent?TWOFACE this worrys me greatly.

[Damiean Dark]

I like the quote that eckhart sees dent/twoface not as a villain i want to be sympathetic to his condition and angry at his acts of violene in equal measures its an amazing balancing act, probably more so then the joker performance but i still cant see eckhart pulling it off acting wise.

[Two-Face]

Like I said before, the director's choice isn't bad at all I would've cast Scheiber or Phoenix. Maybe you will change your opinion once yu seen the flim.

Agree completley Damiean, Harvey has charisma and lot's of it. Then when he get's scarred he has to be a very a dark, ambiguous character. Judging from Eckharts look and body of work, he just doesn't have what it takes to do Harvey Dent full justice. He will be solid, imo, but not reach the characters potential. Phoenix can do all this with his eyes closed, as we see in all his work, especially Walk the Line.

We will see in 2008 though i guess.

[L.A.]

I think its a solid and safe choice.

[Tojo]

I agree Phoenix would've been great as DA Harvey Dent, Nolan's choice isn't a bad at all and I'm glad it wan't Jamie Foxx or Edward Norton because I want Norton for The Riddler.

Norton as Riddler is a fantastic casting choice. Glad Foxx isn't anywhere near Dent.

[Tojo]

I think its a solid and safe choice.

Safe is a very boring thing though.

It is clear he is a 3rd, 4th or 5th choice, because he is the opposite to 'unconventional and aiming high'...

[Crooklyn]

I was actually glad Damon turned it down...he has become a bit to overexposed IMO. He is in too many films and he practically acts the same way.
My god you deserve an e-smack for that. :dry:

[Showtime]

Did I see somewhere where it said Foxx for Harvey Dent? I was trying to figure out if I was sniffing blue flowers or something.

Great manip! As good as you can get! :up:

[Dark Knight]

Nah....I just think he acts too much like himself...instead of actually acting lately.

[Mr.E.Nygma]

Yeah but with the Ledger controversy that first came out, maybe Nolan wanted someone who would bring a bit less of WTF into people's mind, or should I say fanboy whiny complaints. Anyway, I find Eckhart an inspiring and trusty choice.
Though on one point Eckhart and Bale share almost about the same age difference between Jones and Kilmer back in 1995...omg don't know if I stated my point clearly, at least someone will understand.

[Dark Knight]

:huh:

[Dark Knight]

You think his roles in Brothers Grimm, Departed, and The Good Shepherd were the same? ESPECIALLY the last two?

His acting in Brothers Grimm and in the Departed was nothing special. I saw the Good Shephard on a burnt copy DVD.....and i didn't think he did anything special. You can choose to be on the guys nuts if you want...doesn't mean I have to.

[Mr. Socko]

What actor you guys talking about?

[Mr. Socko]

Good choice, I'm fine with it.

[StorminNorman]

Mathew Damon

[Crooklyn]

Well I can't say the majority of the people agree, but that's certainly an opinion I wouldn't hold against you. I'm just saying that none of his recent roles are even remotely acted out the same.

You can choose to be on the guys nuts if you want...doesn't mean I have to.
Exaggerate, much? :huh:

[LostSon88]

Don't you mean Matt Damon?

[Damiean Dark]

But are you all still excited beyond endurance for TDK and its sequel now you know eckhart is dent/twoface or are you like me a bit, me a bit "meh"

[LostSon88]

xcept' Dillon can't act. :oldrazz:

[Damiean Dark]

As much as i worry over Ledgers casting he is still an unknown quantity with a bit of excitment thrown in you dont really know what to expect good or bad with eckhart its more of "meh"

[Damiean Dark]

A lot of actors "Always act the same" in most of there movies but the best ones have a certain X factor that make them,dispite the similaritys still infinitely rewachable im talking actors like robert De niro, morgan freeman, christopher walkan, al pachino jack nicholson ect its all about the X factor.

I think they made a pretty good choice picking Eckhart. I think he'll do a great job as Harvey but 2face is still a question for me. Hopefully he can surprise me with that.

[Crooklyn]

DeNiro doesn't belong on that list. :huh:

[IKnowSomeJudo]

Though on one point Eckhart and Bale share almost about the same age difference between Jones and Kilmer back in 1995...omg don't know if I stated my point clearly, at least someone will understand.Jones has 13 years on Kilmer, whereas Eckhart is only 6 years older than Bale, so no, not really.

[DorkyFresh]

just because an actor can't learn to walk, talk, eat, and crap differently in every movie doesn't mean they're not good actors. sometimes all that's needed from the actor is the ability to act realistically or remarkably given his character's situation.

[DorkyFresh]

DeNiro doesn't belong on that list. :huh:

i like DeNiro, but he's been acting like himself in most of his latest movies...

[Stringer]

He sure doesnt Crooklyn lol

[Stringer]

He's old now, you have to cut him some slack on some of the roles he chooses.

[Crooklyn]

i like DeNiro, but he's been acting like himself in most of his latest movies...
Ah, that may be true. I can't say I remember the last movie I've seen him in, that was in this decade, lol. I've been watching a lot of his old classics, in which he most definitely takes on a different persona. :up:

[DorkyFresh]

i'm not saying i blame DeNiro. i still love him! it's just that he doesn't take acting nearly as serious as he used to.

but despite him acting like himself...there's still something about him that makes you accept that he's actually the character he's playing. just like former Batman, George Clooney. he got a bad rep for Batman, but he continues to prove himself to be a talented actor despite injecting his personality into every role he plays.

[Hellrider]

I think he's a good choice.

[newwaveboy87]

xcept' Dillon can't act. :oldrazz:
an Academy Award nomination and a lot of solid acting performances are in disagreement with you.

A lot of actors "Always act the same" in most of there movies but the best ones have a certain X factor that make them,dispite the similaritys still infinitely rewachable im talking actors like robert De niro, morgan freeman, christopher walkan, al pachino jack nicholson ect its all about the X factor.
DeNiro, Freeman, Walkan, Pacino, and Nicholson have only turned into variations of the same character since the mid-to-late 80s when they got too old and replaced by the new crop. if you go before that you'll see a rich tapestry of performances from each of them.

DeNiro doesn't belong on that list. :huh:
his work in the past decade or so qualifies him for it. :csad:

[NinjaTurtleFan]

Like I said before, the director's choice isn't bad at all I would've cast Scheiber or Phoenix. Maybe you will change your opinion once yu seen the flim.

I'm in agreement here. I would've preferred Liev, Joaquin, or Guy Pearce, but I think Aaron will do the role justice. Besides, I'm glad to see we're not seeing a repeat of Billy "Lando" Dee Williams and Tommy Lee Jones again.

[Threshold]

It's good to have Eckhart confirmed for Dent. I actually just saw Breach and that film finally convinced me that Phillipe could've been an incredible Harvey Dent (the trailer for Fracture also made Gosling out to be another solid "What If?"), but I digress.

It's nice to be able to put aside the casting of the character we KNEW was going to show up and start focusing on the casting of characters who we probably don't even KNOW are in this thing!

[blind_fury]

If I saw Ryan Phillipe beating up Batman I would vomit all over my popcorn.

[The Shredder]

I think Aaron will be good in the role of Harvey Dent.

Like alot of other people, I had my favourites concerning this particular role, but I have to say that when the news broke that Aaron was cast as Dent, I wasnt initially scratching my head like I was with the Ledger as The Joker announcement. But ultimately, I feel that both will be great in their respective roles. I have very little doubt that they won't be. With Nolan's direction, no worries as far as I am concerned.

[Joe Kerr]

If I saw Ryan Phillipe beating up Batman I would vomit all over my popcorn.

LMFAO... :up:

[The Fallen]

I saw Thank You For Smoking the other day. Eckhart IMO will be a good Dent, however I'm still not sure on Two-Face. He can play the cocky, confident talker no problems, however I'm yet to see any conflicted anger or aggression from him.

[Threshold]

I assume that the "Yes" option implies that we think positively of Eckhart's casting as Harvey Dent (and eventually Two-Face). Therefore I picked "Yes".

I'd have picked a "hell yes!!!" option had there been one. :)

[Avernus]

it's funny answering "yes" to a multiple choice question...

although I do it often...

[Avernus]

Norton as Riddler is a fantastic casting choice. Glad Foxx isn't anywhere near Dent.

they could make Norton Mr. Freeze...

and yes, they could make Mr Freeze fir into a storyline...

he could be a crazy Dr. who cryogenically freezes people and uses them for experiments to save his wife...

creating an ad lib with the actual storyline....

I mean it's a quick idea....it's possible..

a blonde harvey dent

[Retroman]

^^Nice find. Looks like Daniel Craig.

[Threshold]

Despite his actually playing Freeze in that new Batman cartoon, I'd love to see Clancy Brown (Lex on STAS, Kelvin Inman on Lost) play Mr. Freeze. He's an incredibly talented and versatile actor who would've killed in the role of Flass (at least had he been more like the Flass from "Year One").

CLANCY BROWN 4 MR. FREEZE!!!

(and his running mate would be Paddy Considine as The Riddler)

[Brian Braddock]

Except it's not Daniel Craig - It's DeNiro.


It was posted on one of the 'two-face' threads about a year or so ago.

Squint at the below pic and you'll see it's DeNiro:-

[ultimatefan]

If I´m supposed to interpret "yes" as him being a good choice, than yes.

[Retroman]

Since when does DeNiro have blond hair and blue eyes?:huh: I see very little remblance to him in that shot. Still looks like Craig.
