Aaron Eckhart cast in The Dark Knight
Thank You For Smoking star Aaron Eckhart is in final negotiations to play Harvey Dent in The Dark Knight, Chris Nolan’s sequel to Batman Begins.
Ryan Phillippe was previously rumored to be in talks to play young Harvey Dent, Gotham’s District Attorney who later becomes the villainous Two-Face. Tommy Lee Jones played the character in 1995’s horrendous Batman Forever.
The sequel will follow Batman as he enlists the aid of Gordon and Dent in “bringing down the Joker… but not killing him. In the third movie, the Joker would go on trial, scarring Dent in the process,” screenwriter David Goyer previously revealed.
Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine and Gary Oldman have previously signed on to return. Heath Ledger signed on last summer to play the Joker.
Eckhart’s a great choice for Dent. Nolan’s casting thus far has been spot-on (okay, may-be Katie Holmes was unneeded, and Ledger’s Joker is a “wait and see”)
The Dark Knight is set to hit theaters on July 18th 2008.
Jude Law and George Clooney Do Venice
Jude Law and George Clooney Do Venice
If you’re an Italian woman in Venice this week, there’s a little more eye candy than usual, courtesy of the Venice Film Festival. Stars like George Clooney and Jude Law are giving the ladies a reason to spend a little extra time in front of the mirror.
Jude led the pack of charming, handsome men gathering in the fair city to celebrate another year of top-notch cinema. He was seen in a gondola with none other than Michael Caine, another English charmer.
And George raised the level of class with his timeless look of distinction. The Oceans Thirteen actor was seen all over town sporting the elegant look of a gentlemen.
As the Venice Film festival continues, it appears that this year’s festivities are being upstaged by the men, rather than the women turning out for the event. Who knew?
Jude Law’s Disheveled Look
Jude Law’s Disheveled Look
There is such a double standard in Hollywood. Women always have to look their best, and spend thousands of dollars on hair, makeup and wardrobe. But men can get away with fashion murder. Just look at Jude Law.
It seems he pretty much just rolled out of bed and threw on whatever was on his floor when the Holiday actor went out for a cup of coffee and cookies. Complete with bed head and an old man cardigan, this stud proves that the clothes do not always make the man.
Law is back in London, and regardless of his appearance, his fans still love him. A source told press, “While he looked as if he’d just got up, there was no mistaking that charm.”
Maybe he’s a bit distressed that his new film, a remake of Sleuth, only received a tepid response at this year’s Venice Film Festival. Law stars alongside Michael Caine in the new film, set to hit theaters November 9th.
