Liev Schreiber is reportedly out of the running for the role of Harvey Dent in The Dark Knight. Who's up next?
Batman on Film is reporting that Liev Schreiber (The Manchurian Candidate) is no longer in the running to play Gotham City D.A. Harvey "Two Face" Dent in The Dark Knight.
Instead, Memento's Guy Pearce (whom some had rumored for the role of Bruce Wayne/Batman before Batman Begins' casting was announced) is said to be in the running. If true, it would be his second film with director Chris Nolan.
Ryan Phillipe was also said to be up for the role.
Official casting news may be coming out next month with the debut of The Prestige (directed by Nolan and starring Batman Begins stars Christian Bale and Michael Caine as well as X-Men's Hugh Jackman), according to the fan site.
