Although there wasn't really much doubt, it's now been confirmed by director
Christopher Nolan that Harvey Dent will be in the
The Dark Knight when it's released in 2008. For those who don't know (AND SLIGHT SPOILERS I GUESS) Harvey Dent eventually becomes the villain Two-Face (just happens to be my favourite villain in the comics). Nolan confirmed the news when speaking to
IGN FilmForce. Thanks to
Coming Soon for the heads up...
...When we asked if District Attorney Harvey Dent a.k.a. Batman's future nemesis Two-Face would indeed be in the film, Nolan replied, "I don't want to go into too many specifics. Yes, he is."IGN caught up with Nolan as he was exiting the event and asked if Dent had been cast. "Not yet." Would that actor be an American, an Aussie or a Brit? "You'll see," Nolan promised... So we now just wait to see who Nolan decides to cast. My choice as you all know is
Liev Schrieber but failing that I would go for
Guy Pearce but I have a feeling that Nolan is going to go completely left field like with the Heath Ledger as Joker casting. I think it will be somebody that hasn't really been mentioned yet. It's interesting aswell that Nolan confirmed Harvey Dent's appearance in the movie but not that of Two-Face which again goes along with what we have been predicting, that he won't be transformed into a villain until the very end of the second or beginning of the third movie. I love it, the transformation of Harvey Dent into a bad guy is one of the best Batman stories there is, developing the character in the second movie then turning him into the biggest badass ever will make compelling viewing. Folks, I have never been looking forward to a movie more than I am The Dark Knight (i guess not suprising, my anticipation for
Batman Begins was off the charts). source -
