Depp can play a serious role quite well. Have you seen Sleepy Hollow?Thorin wrote:I don't think Depp would be good, it'll go straight back to the old style camp comedy Batmans, rather than Nolan's far darker, serious, and frankly better new age Batmans.

Re: The Dark Knight
Yes, but his appearance, like many other comedy actors out there, immediately bring 'this is not as serious as it could be' connotations.

Re: The Dark Knight
IDK about that... I never thought much of Depp as a "serious" actor until I saw things like The Ninth Gate and the one in which his daughter was kidnapped in order to make him assassinate someone. Plus, his ability to portray grotesques is huge - see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Sweeney Todd.

Just saw this last night. I was highly impressed. I'll be buying this when it comes out on DVD.

And, I use the term "person" in the most polite of ways, Rochey.

Re: The Dark Knight
And now:
Worldwide total: $800,093,000
I really hope it goes on to beat Titanic as highest grossing film. The Dark Knight is a considerably better movie, performance-wise, and in the quality of the story.

Saying it's better than Titanic is like saying its better than Ebola.
What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.
