Aaron Eckhart Talks GOTHAM Series And Offers Advice For The Next Two-Face
Aaron Eckhart is perhaps best known for his incredible turn as Harvey Dent/Two-Face in The Dark Knight. Offering a real, gritty version of the character, Eckhart masterfully chronicled Dent’s story arc from his war against crime in Gotham to his fall into madness. So, the fact that he will most likely never reprise the role is certainly bittersweet. The subject did come up, however, when MTV spoke with Eckhart at the I, Frankenstein press junket. The site asks specifically if he’d be interested in playing Harvey Dent again in Fox’s upcoming Gotham series, but the actor doesn’t see it happening. “How old is Harvey?

Concept Art For McG And J.J. Abrams’ Defunct Superman Project, SUPERMAN: FLYBY
Before 2006’s Superman Returns, there were a number of attempts to bring the Man of Steel back to the big screen after the Christopher Reeve movies. One of these projects was Superman: Flyby, which was in development in the early 2000’s. Scripted by J.J.
