Eckhart says that the movie endures, in part, because it 'wasn't just special on the screen.'

Aaron Eckhart, who played Harvey Dent in The Dark Knight, says he never gets tired of fans gushing about the movie -- in part because he is pretty impressed by it, too. Speaking with ComicBook.com in support of his new movie Chief of Station, Eckhart said the movie has continued to be iconic in part because how holistically it was put together, with a great script as well as great performances and direction.

The film told the story of how Eckhart's character evolved from a morally-upstanding district attorney into the disfigured supervillain Two-Face, although as with most characters in the Nolan movies, it was just the one adventure before the villain was gone. "That movie's extraordinary, that movie's special, and it wasn't just special on the screen," Eckhart told ComicBook.com."It was special in the script. It was special in the writing. I'll tell you a story about that. I was at home and a guy came to my house with the script. He handed me the script, and he waited outside for two hours while I read that script, and then I handed it back to him and he left.

In Chief of Station,"Ben is a former CIA station chief whose world comes crashing down after his wife, a former operative, dies in a terrible accident. Soon, a cryptic message sends him back into the shadowy underworld of Eastern Europe, teaming up with a former adversary to unravel a conspiracy that challenges everything he thought he knew about his wife and the agency that he worked for.
