They've cast Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon.

Eh, don't how I feel about that. Don't get me wrong, Tom Hanks is an incredible actor... but I don't know if I see him as Langdon just yet.

I guess, I can't really judge until the movie comes out...



And I reeeeeeeeally hope they cast Kate Beckinsale as Sophie Neveu. I think she's perfect for the part.

Meh I think Senor Hanks could quite possibly pull it off..

ooO agreed Kate Beckinsale...she would be perfect

I've never read the book before.
But if I do see the movie, i'll have to read the book, first.

I haven't read the book or the sequal yet, but I do plan to (eventually). However, I sort of hate it how good books are always made into movies; the movies change plots. It changes how people interpret the novels. Boo. Hopefully I will have read the books by the time the movie comes out though.

Tom Hanks, i agree, shouldn't be Robert Langdon. I think someone younger should be him.

you never know, with some makeup and a wig, he could look 20 years younger! jk lol.

well, he is a very talented actor and can transform, so maybe he can pull it off. yea, kate beckinsale is perfect.

Ooh, I can't wait to see it!! I don't know about Tom Hanks, though...He's one of my fave actors, but him as Robert Langdon?

but robert langdon IS 40+. so yea. i cant wait to see the movie! its nly coming out in 2006? hmph! but i hate the way the movies change the plot from the book.

Yeah, May 16, 2006... soooo long away. :(


It's being directed by Ron Howard. Hopefully they won't change it that much.

anybody really read the booK!?

Whoa. When I read it, I pictured Kate Beckinsale as Sophie. Funny when I read this. Haha. And Tom Hanks? He's a terrific actor - he'd be able to pull it off.

I did... I actually prefer Angels & Demons more.


I know, me too! Which is why they NEED to cast her! And Tom is a pretty versatile actor and I know he'd be able to pull it off but it's just, eh.

same for me, never read the book, i might read it meh and i agree, good books are always turned into movies *sigh*

Tom Hanks --- wow! That's great news! I'm glad that he's the main character in that movie! He's one true awesome actor! He's good at acting those classical type of movies too. I'm glad that they choosed him! Anyways for the girls, I don't know. Since I don't remember there was girls part in his story haha. It's been long I haven't heard about the Da Vinci Code. So yeah --- I can't wait!

yeah kate beckinsale sounds perfect to me. i dont know about tom hanks..

Yeah, Sophie is pretty much with Langdon throughout the whole book.


I hope they cast someone like Jaoquin Phoenix as Silas.

I read the book and the whole time I read it I was like, "moviemoviemoviereleasenow"
Wait.. .wasn't Robert Langdon suppose to look like Dennis Quaid? (<-- Harrison Ford?) I remember the book specifically making a comparison of what he looks like to an actor. I realize that they won't use that actor but I know that the vision I had of Langdon was definitely NOT Tom Hanks.

He's a great actor, I watched the entire Cast Away... But I imagined someone different the entire time I was reading Da Vinci. ._. i'm kinda sad now...

I imagined Catherine Zeta Jones as Sophie, i've realized i'm like the only one in the world now...

looks like I have another reason to finish the book now...

there is a movie coming out?/ man i need to hurry up and finish this book. i'm only on like chapter 5 and it's already really good. but i agree, although i haven't read the full book and know the characters that indepth, i don't think i could see tom hanks as Robert Langdon

never finished reading the book.....

but I prefer "Angels and Demons " that book was a shocker..

i wanted to read the book
but i'm too lazy

so i'll just watch the movie.
it sounds interesting
:D

The book is awesome! Tom Hanks could be perfect for the role. He has the harvard profesor look and you get some hot chick, maybe kate beckensale, charlize theron, would be nice!

i've heard it was good. and people have reccomended it to me. i just still have to find time to read it. hopefully it will make a good movie

yea...i don't really see tom hanks as langdon either. i was thinkin of an older guy

i'm in the middle of the book.

may 16 2006!! two days after my birthday haha.
anyway...

tom hanks could be a good langdon

for some reason i imagined jennifer garner as sophie... O.o LOL

... i really should get around to reading this book!

i dont like tom hanks as langdon, I just pictured someone that's attractive, intelligent, and active... that sounded mean, let's just say i pictured someone different.

wow the Da Vinci Code.....i finished a while ago...i remember i was sooo addicted to it i spent weeks only thinking about the Da Vinci Code and searching the internet for more and more information....

that book is truly one of the greatest and thought provoking books ever written

It's official, they've cast Audrey Tatou (Amelie) as Sophie Neveu and Jean Reno as Bezu Fache.

wow, they seem to be runing out of ideas for movies these days, and so they turn to books, not that I have any problem with that.

i hate books

hmm, robert langdon seems a lot younger in the book

who knows?

Me too! But now that I think about it, Audrey Tatou fits the part quite well. Tom Hanks is a little strange though. He's a good actor, but he doesnt seem very Langdon-ish to me.

I'm halfway into the book, and it's really good so far. I hope this movie just the book justice. Movie turned books tend to kill the story lines.

i agree, A&D was better.. Kate Beckinsale would be good..

btw.. you're a patriots fan, i see

WE'RE GOING TO BEAT YOU TOMORROW!

tom brady is gorgeous though

Langdon is what, 40 ish? Which is how old Tom is... and c'mon, you gotta admit Tom is a VERY versatile actor. I think he'll be able to pull it off.

But Audrey Tatou as Sophie... now that I don't agree with. And she's only 26 or so in reality, while Sophie is supposed to be in her 30s. I've heard she was excellent in Amelie, but some people don't think she's right for this part. Who knows.

They're filming some scenes in the Louvre, which is AWESOME. And Ron Howard is directing, so I don't think it'll be so bad.


And pssh... the Patriots won. :P And yeah, Tommy is gorgeous.

i dunno the title sound boring!

Trust me, it's anything but boring.

wow theyre making the movie now!??

Yup... right now they're in pre-production.

Why can they leave a great book a book and not a HORRIDE movie?!

Ron Howard was/is executive producer of the awesome shows... Felicty, 24, and Arrested Development. And the producer of How the Grinch Stole Christmas, A Beautiful Mind, and The Alamo.

So judging by his track record, I don't think TDVC will be horrid.

ahh, i really wanna watch it cuz the book was great
tom hanks as langdon... well, he is a great actor so he may fit the character xP but i think he should lose some weight first? or maybe its just me who always thought of langdon as a skinny guy
and yes, kate beckinsale would make a great sophie

I packed my book so I can't look to it for reference, but I do believe Langdon was described to look like Dennis Quaid. Aren't he and Hanks around the same weight?

Yeah, I really like Kate Beckinsale... too bad she's not Sophie.

Tom Hanks is a wonderful choice for Langdon .... only because he is the most beloved actor to have ever lived. Granted he is a great actor .... but not only will he surely give a great performance but he will also be a great box office draw. Dennis Quaid is known to be a box-office jinx .... and would probably best be suited starring in a mediocre Disney movie (a la The Rookie).

Can't say I'm too excited about this film ... Although one of my favorite actors Jean Reno is set to be in this film. I have a strong hate for Ron Howard .... only because he is oscar bait.

Ian McKellan as Sir Leigh Teabing. Yeeeeeeeees. Love Ian McKellan.

And Alfred Molina as Bishop Aringosa. He's great, too.

I can't wait for this movie!

btw its coming out the 19th of may 2006 not the 16th

I read the book , I disagree with the person that created this topic , Tom Hanks could be wonderfull as Langdon but I was thinking of someone more handsome.

that sounds cool! i'm too lazy to read the book, so i'll just see it when it comes out in the movies! :P

Argh he just ruined the book for me x.x No offense to him, but I just don't think it would work...maybe i'll be wrong

...I dislike Tom Hanks. I was thinking of someone hotter, like Hugh Grant. Haha, but maybe he's *too* sexy and British. Ah well.

I think they cast Audrey Tautou as Sophie though.
