thehefnerI really didn't hate THE PRESTIGE, nor do I want to, but the more I hear folks heap praise upon it (and the more I just can't get my brain around understanding why, really seeing what they see in it as much as I try)... boy howdy, I'm getting there. I sorta feel the same way about SCARFACE.
That said, I think Hugh Jackman would make an excellent Harvey Dent/Two-Face. It's not a choice that comes to mind immediately, but watching him work with Bale, thinking about how he can be handsome and charming but also dark, vicious, and haunted... wow, he would actually be great. Much, much better than the current general rumors of Ethan Hawke, Ryan Phillippe, and even Jake Gyllenhaal. Those actors are too damn boyish, damn it! And as much as I love Liev Schriber as an actor, he's just not that good-looking and charming.
I doubt they'd cast Hugh, nor do I think he'd want to be associated with two comic frachises (if only we could have him as Two-Face and get Willem Dafoe for Joker!), but it sure would be nice to dream.
Oh, and CASINO ROYALE was excellent. A truly superior action movie and one of the finest Bond movies I ever seen. Craig nailed it (although I was still distracted by his muscular-but-still-caved-in chest), playing him in a way that really seperates him from all the other film Bonds by being truer to the actual book character.
The chase scene early in the movie is damn good too (that dude was limber!), and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kkglinka made a good point, it really does put one in mind of what if they did that kind of chase between Batman and Catwoman in an upcoming movie. Man, that'd be sweet.
