The role of Harvey Dent in Christopher Nolan's much-acclaimed Batman sequel, a very key character in The Dark Knight, was offered to Matt Damon, but he did not take up the offer due to clashing schedules with Burn After Reading and other commitments. Aaron Eckhart played the character and received much praise for it. According to Damon, it was a tough decision, especially considering the film's monumental success.
