Harvey dent thought which would make an actor hate you

[kitewithfish]

I just had a really random thought about how to do a movie with Harvey Dent. For everyone else- have one version of the script. For the actor doing Harvey post-acid- have a script with two versions of each scene- one for if the coin lands good, and one for when the coin lands bad. Make him learn both, and then only when you start rehearsing with other actors do you tell him which is the 'real' version. Make him think about how both options are real and viable and how Two-Face encompasses both outcomes.

Obviously, the actor would hate you. But as a geek, it would be so damned cool.

Utterly awesome. I'm obsessed enough as a fan and masochistic enough as a performer to totally try taking that on.

But that's the thing- in order to get someone to willingly sign off on that, they'd have to be quite the Harvey enthusiast to begin with, and I don't think that it would be a problem.

And then there's the logistical considerations- if you give the poor fool a copy of the full script, even with additional 'choose your own adventure' options, it wouldn't take too much deduction to figure out the 'real' results of the coin flips.

All in all, a cool idea that will likely never come to fruition.
