The Dark Knight Latest Report for 5/9

[StorminNorman]

LOL!!! Hey, me too. But Norm, my man... we always knew Bettany was in the mix, didn't we? My sig still proudly proclaims Bettany, Dammit! Because, well, BETTANY, DAMMIT!

I will say that Lucas is not exactly my mental image of Harvey (I always imagine Harvey as a bigger, darker guy, something like Schreiber, I suppose -- or my main man Billy Dee) but Lucas has some good qualities going for him in the Dent department.

Word homes.

However I must say that I have never thought of Schreiber as a big, dark guy.

LOL. Well, not in the way that Billy Dee is dark, ha-ha. But Schrieber seems to be solidly built and he has dark hair and a good brooding brow. Which is Dent all the way.

[Van Petrol]

I still prefer Schrieber for Dent, but anyways...

 

[Maxwell Smart]

Yeah Lucas doesn't really look much like Dent... but I think with the role of Dent thats not necessarily required as long as the guy is good looking(its that type of role). What matters is if they can act the role. Cillian Murphy didn't really look anything like Crane.

Back again,Bettany back,tell a freind

I think Dent's look do matter. I always envisioned Dent as a tall, well built, intelligent and strikingly handsome kind of guy - very similar to Bruce.

Lucas doesn't have these qualities IMO.

What sweet news to hear Bettany is still in the mix
HULME v.s. BETTANY
no way in hell we'll lose!!!!!!

Exactly - looks dont matter for any villian BUT Joker and Two Face. The Joker because he is the most iconic villian in Comic Book History and Two Face because his entire character is based on the superficial tragedy he faces in the comic.

go lucas

why not schrebier, longshot?

 

[Eddie Dean]

why not schrebier, longshot?

Don't ask.

 

[L0ngsh0t]

ohh i'm just not a fan of him, i'm not huge on the crappy movies he has made, and while yes, how good the movie is doesn't exactly show how good the actor is(a la Paul Giamatti in Big Mommas house) he didn't do anything to make that movie better, where as Josh Lucas made glory road better, granted he had more to work with in that movie then schrebier did, but Lucas owned that movie and made it his, and that is something Schrebier has yet to do

feel free to comment, i'm sure you will

 

[The Chairman]

Schreiber for me made The Manchurian Candidate. As a huge fan of the original, I was let down by the remake. Schreiber, however, made the remake worth it, really nailing the character.

 

[L0ngsh0t]

i agree, he did nail his character, especially at the end, but i still think denzel washington was the one who dictated every direction that movie went, and when he didn't Maryl Streep did

not to discredit schrebier cause that is his one performence that makes me okay with him as two face if he is

 

[The-Night]

For me it was Liev or Bust, but I'm really starting to like Lucas and strangley enough it was after I read Long Halloween. Even though Liev looks just lke Dent!

yeah that Liev or bust mentality, i hate it, i know your still gunna see it and enjoy it, then don't say Liev or bust if you don't mean it, and if you do it's a ridiculous statement, because the meaning of that is there is no actor on the planet that can play dent as good as schreiber, and that is obsered because your saying the 400 or so decorated, loved actors that have given fantastic performences throughout the decades can't play this role as good as a guy whos best movie is, like you said, not even better then it's original, yeah, i don't like that statement, cause you ether don't mean it, or you've only seen 6 movies and those movies are screams 1-3 phantoms, the manchurian candidate, and the hurricane

it WAS Liev or bust for me, WAS!!

 

[L0ngsh0t]

ooh, my apologies, yeah, you seemed like to much of a sensible poster for that to be true

 

[The-Night]

ooh, my apologies, yeah, you seemed like to much of a sensible poster for that to be true

yeah it's crazy, I just read The Long Halloween and for some strange reason I saw Lucas in the role even thogh Liev looks just like Dent!

 

[Paul Bettany]

Of course I knew all of this already - no one bothered asking me

 

[nolan's roll'n]

If Bettany's in, who's out? One of the three other choices have to be out. Hugo Weaving, Lachy Hulme, or Jude Law. Anyways, great news Bettany is back. All this Bettany talk has quited down over the past several weeks. I changed my mind about him, after I saw his performance in Gangster No.1. After seeing that Four Jacks video clip, I have to say that was great acting by Hulme.

 

[nolan's roll'n]

I wouldn't mind Josh Lucas as Dent but Liev is a better choice for the role. I saw a manip of Liev as Two-Face that looked awesome, don't know who made it though.
