The Dark Knight Cast Update! William Fichtner

[Hunter Rider]

Good actor,has to be a detective

He's also Clint Eastwood's long lost clone! TRUFAX!

He's nowhere near the man Clint is

 

[Gold Samurai]

if he's the bank manager he's not maroni darn

 

[FaT_tONle]

So this guy isn't a Joker thug right? Cause that would not fit
This guy was excellent in Heat btw...

 

[Ronny Shade]

I'm betting he'll be working in the D.A's office and butting heads with Dent.

 

[typeorocks]

I can see him playing someone involved with the D.A.'s office or maybe a new employee at Wayne tower.
Hes too big of a actor to have a small role....maybe he will work at Arkham since Dr. crain no longer works there.

 

[Stringer]

Chances are he's going to be playing some kind of sleaze, like in Heat.

EDIT: Now BOF is saying he's going to be a bank manager.

 

[NinjaTurtleFan]

Damn, that's cool. William Fichtner wouldn't have been too bad as Dent/Two-Face. Maybe he'll be The Riddler or another villain. We can only hope...

 

[COMPO]

he could be a corrupt cop or the mayor or city council member?

 

[Ronny Shade]

Chances are he's going to be playing some kind of sleaze, like in Heat.

I'd put money on that, yeah. This guy screams "cast me as an a-hole!'" kinda like Walter Peck from Ghostbusters.

 

[Nepenthes]

or the bank manager

 

[Ronny Shade]

the sleazy bank manager

 

[Katsuro]

In the sides the bank manager seems to be working for the mob, so i'd say he's definatley sleazy. To the max.

 

[mad-sci]

WAIT!

Fichtner's playing a bank manager...

Filming's going on in chicago...

The filming's about Gotham National Bank...

The only confirmed casting is the Joker's gang and Fichtner, just as the Chicago shoot begins...

One of the sides talks about the following:-

Spoiler

INT. BANK - DAY

The MASK-WEARING THUG stuffs cash into his bag as the wounded BANK MANAGER watches him.

BANK MANAGER
You have any idea who you're stealing from? You and your friends are dead.

The thug isn't bothered

BANK MANAGER (CONT'D)
You idiot. What makes you think the guy who hired you isn't going to kill you, too?

The Thug STOPS. Crouches over him. In the distance: SIRENS.

GENTLE VOICE
Call it a hunch.

The man PULLS off his MASK. The Bank Manager GASPS, horrified at the face staring back at him.

GENTLE VOICE (CONT'D)
It's rude to stare.

The bank manager summons his nerve, gritting his teeth.

BANK MANAGER
What are you? You freak. Criminals in this town used to believe in things. Honor. Respect. What do you believe in, huh? What do you bel-

BANG...the THUG puts a bullet into the MANAGER's head.

It all fits Fichtner's role, AND confirms both the side and what is being shot RIGHT NOW!!!

 

[Macphisto]

If they've got Fichtner playing a bank manager, can't wait to see who they've actually got for someone like Maroni. Must be pretty impressive.

 

[Stringer]

Damn, I wanted him to have a bigger role, he's killed off in a minute

 

[IamtheBatman]

William Fichtner could play a mob boss that throws the acid on Heath Ledger.

 

[Two-Face]

I seen him in some movies, I never knew his real name.

 

[ultimatefan]

Chances are he's going to be playing some kind of sleaze, like in Heat.

EDIT: Now BOF is saying he's going to be a bank manager.

So, he´s probably the guy who´ll deliver the speech about the old school criminals standing for honor and respect, as opposed to the new age of freaks.

 

[ultimatefan]

I seen him in some movies, I never knew his real name.

Yeah, until Prison Break he was to me one of those "who´s this guy, I see him everywhere, whatzhisname?" guys.

 

[itsthebatman]

Damn, I wanted him to have a bigger role, he's killed off in a minute

He might have more lines. The sides don't have every scene for the part being auditioned... do they?

Sounds like a winner

 

[ultimatefan]

We can assume they don´t, some characters clearly seem to have more to do with the story than we see in the sides.

 

[Retroman]

Cool addition to the cast

There was a rumor last year that he was play a role in X3. Cyclops' brother if i'm not mistaken?

 

[IKnowSomeJudo]

So, he´s probably the guy who´ll deliver the speech about the old school criminals standing for honor and respect, as opposed to the new age of freaks.

I don't know why, but I thought some really old guy would be cast in that role.

I believe you're correct. Fichtner rules. Glad to hear he has a role, even if it is a small one.
