The Dark Knight Clive Owen to play Philip Marlowe

[astheniac]

from comingsoon:


"Children of Men producer Marc Abraham has revealed to The Courier-Journal that he will reteam with that film's star Clive Owen for a feature adaptation of one of Raymond Chandler's short stories. Owen will play the private detective Philip Marlowe.

Just last December, it was announced that ABC is teaming with producer Sean Bailey on a "Philip Marlowe" series. The hourlong drama "Marlowe" would be a present-day procedural crime drama with noir aspects and set in Los Angeles.

That series, however, would not use Chandler's Marlowe books as source material for storylines."


guess this could take him out of availability for playing dent TDK, but perhaps not. thought you guys would be interested.

Good for him. And I don't think he'll be Dent. My top choice is still Liev Schreiber.

lol. Schreiber should go on directing movies instead of acting. He has played mostly crap so far but "Everything is Illuminated" which he directed was a really good movie.

Clive Owen also doesnt get my thumbs-up.
