"Thank You For Smoking" star Aaron Eckhart looks to have landed a plum role in upcoming "Batman Begins" sequel "The Dark Knight". Eckhart is understood to be in final talks to play Gotham City District Attorney Harvey Dent and his alter ego Two Face in the movie, which is expected to begin filming next month. The character, who was last bought to the big screen by Tommy Lee Jones in 1995's "Batman Forever", is a former ally of Batman who goes insane after being doused in acid by crime lord "Boss" Maroni.
Eckhart will join fellow newcomer Heath Ledger in "The Dark Knight", which will see Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine and Gary Oldman all returning as well as director Christopher Nolan.
