Last I posted about TwoFace casting rumours it was about Guy Pearce and personally I think he would be wonderful in the role. But now it seems that there is a raging debate over Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Phillippe.
Two actors in particular have been rumored as the frontrunners during the last few weeks: Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Phillippe. Liev Schreiber and Guy Pearce have also been mentioned, but Gyllenhaal and Phillippe are the most hotly discussed.
After getting firm and official denials from both CAA and his reps at Management 360, IGN can shoot down the Gyllenhaal rumor. Gyllenhaal’s rep even quipped, “No, the other guy from Brokeback Mountain is in it if you haven’t heard.” That’s a reference to Heath Ledger being cast as The Joker.
A lot of other sites are crediting the “other Brokeback guy” angle as meaning that Gyllenhaal is being cast. Now I dont think this is a bad thing, but its entirely inaccurate. The statement was made to discourage the rumours around Jake.
But with EVERY camp denying their man is in the runnings, I have to wonder which one is bluffing? Or is it that NONE of these guys will be playing the future villian in the next movie. I guess time will tell.
