‘LEGO Batman Movie’ Finally Allows Billy Dee Williams to Play Two-Face

If it’s been a while since you’ve seen Tim Burton’s Batman from 1989, you might not remember that Billy Dee Williams played District Attorney Harvey Dent. In fact, the original plan for Batman Forever before Joel Schumacher took over for Tim Burton was to have the Star Wars star reprise his role and become the Gotham City villain Two-Face. Sadly, we never got to see that happen. But that’s about to change.

The LEGO Batman Movie is bringing the building block version of the Dark Knight back to the big screen, and after seeing the trailers, it’s one of our most anticipated movies of 2017. Now we have even more reason to be excited because Billy Dee Williams will be voicing Two-Face in the animated movie.

The news of Billy Dee Williams as Two-Face in The LEGO Batman Movie was confirmed by director Chris McKay on Twitter when a fan tossed out the hope as a pipe dream:

That’s pretty much the coolest casting we could have asked for. Since it has the tongue-in-cheek tone of The LEGO Movie, there are bound to be many jokes, Easter eggs and other nods to the Dark Knight’s long legacy in comics, TV and film, and I can’t wait to see what else they do for this movie. You can actually get a little glimpse of Two-Face on the far right in this shot (between Scarecrow and Harley Quinn) of all the villains from the most recent trailer for the movie:

Funnily enough, there was a comic book in the works at one time that would have continued the story of Tim Burton’s Batman, including turning Billy Dee Williams’ Harvey Dent into Two-Face. Some concept art from the book surfaced online back in April over at Bleeding Cool, and it included an image of Williams as Two-Face, who just looks bad ass:

It really shouldn’t be a surprise that Billy Dee Williams is reprising his role as Harvey Dent since The LEGO Movie was able to round him up to voice Lando Calrissian. Maybe they can figure out a way to get Billy Dee Williams in all the LEGO movies, just for fun.

The rest of The LEGO Batman Movie cast includes Will Arnett back as Batman, Michael Cera as Robin, Rosario Dawson as Barbara Gordon (aka Batgirl), Zach Galifianakis as The Joker, Ralph Fiennes as Alfred, Jenny Slate as Harley Quinn, Mariah Carey as Mayor McCaskill and more.

The LEGO Batman Movie arrives on February 10, 2017.

‘Alien: Covenant’ Reveals New Photo as Birthday Boy Ridley Scott Receives the DGA Lifetime Achievement Award

In space, no one can hear Ridley Scott celebrate his birthday, appear in a new Alien: Covenant set photo, and presumably receive phone calls from friends and colleagues congratulating him on being chosen to receive the Directors Guild of America Lifetime Achievement Award. But this is the internet, so we can hear all of the relevant details in one brisk movie news post.

Watch Movies HD

First of all: happy birthday to Sir Ridley Scott, who turns 78 years old today. He’s currently in post-production on his 24th feature film while serving as a producer on 17 additional film and television projects in various stages of production. I am far less than half his age and I’m writing this sentence from my bed because going to my desk sounds like a lot of effort. He is a beast and I tip my hat in his general direction.

To celebrate his birthday, 20th Century Fox has released a new image from the set of Alien: Covenant, which finds Scott standing in the middle of one of the most famous sets in movie history. As expected, the “space jockey” (or at least its chair) will return in Alien: Covenant after its origins were revealed in Prometheus. Of course, where this strange alien artifact goes, blood and guts and screaming tend to follow.

This photo follows the arrival of the first poster for the film, which is now set to debut in theaters on May 19, 2017.

The other big news for Scott involves him being the latest recipient of the DGA Lifetime Achievement Award for Distinguished Achievement in Motion Picture Direction. DGA President Paris Barclay supplied this statement:

Masterful in any genre, Ridley’s groundbreaking methods and peerless directing instincts have brought to life some of the most memorable films of our time, capturing the resilience of the human spirit and captivating the hearts and minds of audiences around the world. Stunning visuals, immersive worlds and powerful performances underpin his diverse body of work which ranges from Alien, Blade Runner and Thelma & Louise to Gladiator, Black Hawk Down, and, most recently, The Martian. Over the course of four decades, his trailblazing career has demonstrated the impact and importance of the director’s singular vision. For these reasons, and so many more, we are honored to present the Lifetime Achievement Award in feature film to Ridley Scott.

Scott has made great movies (Alien! Blade Runner! The Martian!) and he’s made not-so-great movies (Legend! Robin Hood! A Good Year!), but he’s always been one of our most ambitious studio filmmakers, bringing technical precision and attention to detail to each and every one of his movies. This is a well-deserved honor.
