The Dark Knight The Official Phillippe-Dent thread -Oct 20th?

[7Hells]

Though im not sure this credits a new thread I just saw a commerical for Ryan Phillippes new movie http://www.flagsofourfathers.com/ by none other than WB.

If the rumors turn out to be true and he has been cast as Dent im guessing there is a high chance we will hear about it around October 20th, the day his new WB movie opens in theatres.
If we dont hear he has been cast when this movie comes out it would be my guess the rumor is false or he was only considered/screen tested.

Considering BoF has talked about some big news coming up im thinking this is a pretty good guess. What do you guys think? Am I jumping the gun?

I called this "the official" because I wanted to keep this thread around until the 20th and seperate from the Dent casting thread.
(which I noticed did not say-no more dent threads)

 

[FCEEVIPER]

Yup, jumping the gun.

 

[7Hells]

You think its just a coincidence?

 

[Threshold]

It might be Phillipe, it might not. The fact that after all the hoopalah was made about him getting the part and there was no announcement... well, that makes me think that Phillipe is either not signed yet or he's not in the film at all. My thinking leads me towards the latter.

I have a feeling that we're going to be surprised with who Nolan picks for Dent.

 

[FCEEVIPER]

You think its just a coincidence?

Only time will tell.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

I think it's a coincidence.

Although, technically....I don't believe in them. I think I'll make an exception this one time.

 

[I Am The Knight]

I don't suppose he will get the role. I don't see him in it. Who knows who Dent will be, Ledger came out of nowhere.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Yeah, we got the Kansas City Shuffle on that one.

But......well.....who knows. We could get the Shuffle again.....

 

[Maxwell Smart]

You know, that does make sense to me.

No way of knowing if its true until the 20th though.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Pffft....that's like 20 days from now.....that's like......20 days. A ****ing lifetime, man....

 

[I Am The Knight]

Funny thing is we will probably get nothing on the 20th.

 

[7Hells]

If anything a few days or week before.

You know, that does make sense to me.

Thank you, I feel validated in making the thread if atleast one person sees the sense in it

I know.

Cool

I'm sorry, I just do not believe Phillipe will be Dent. I cant accept it. After all this good news, after all the hope i've had built up for this movie, to have it all crushed by having Ryan Phillipe as Harvey Dent, it would be too devastating. I mean come on, Nolan hasn't made one terrible casting decision yet (Katie Holmes coulda been better, but wasn't terrible) so why would he suddenly break that and do something like this? Cant see it happening, who cares if he's got a movie coming out at the same time as The Prestige?

 

[Cinemaman]

Nah, it is doubtful. I think Nolan is keeping another actor, who is his true choice for Dent.

But i have feeling we will know something new on October 20th (except The Prestige).

 

[StorminNorman]

It would make sense - especially considering the Prestige is coming out the same day. I just don't want Ryan Phillipe.

 

[Stringer]

Well Nolan did say no ones been cast as Dent yet so maybe the whole Phillipe thing is premature.

 

[StorminNorman]

Just because there has been no pen to paper does not mean offers have not been proposed and deals have been reached.

 

[7Hells]

lol now im betting 10 smilies its Phillippe
Jett says a new Dent rumour is coming.

 

[Threshold]

Nah, he'd have said it was Phillippe. It's someone new.

[IamBatty]

yeah 7Hells, notice that "coincidence" too. BTW: FoOF is also distributed by WB too. Who knows.. it is possible and it will cause a big mixed reaction (good and bad) from the fans. Like you, i don't mind seeing Phillippe and also do see the resistance here too toward Phillippe LOL

But it could be someone like Depp too.. who would cause a big hype among the fan and for TDK, as hinted by Jett.

We will soon find out.. i hope. This waiting is killling me!

 

[IamBatty]

Nah, he'd have said it was Phillippe. It's someone new.

Actually Jett didn't say it was someone new or someone who wasn't previously mention.. He didn't denied any names and keeping it cryptic (guess to drive us crazy LOL)

Jett:
"I didn't say it was someone who hadn't been rumored previously. "

Also Nolan only confirmed Dent to be in the movie but regarding who is casted (and the question was posed was the nationality of the actor) he also kept it cryptic.. just saying.. "You'll see".

 

[Cinemaman]

I think I'm right with thinking about someone new for this role

Adding fuel to a fire that was about to die...

 

[DA Harvey Dent]

My prediction: harvey dent will be none other than rufus sewell.
