The Da Vinci Code: The Movie

you know, the more I think about it, Mel Gibson was clearly the best choice.

[censored] Mel Gibson.


They shoulda had Chris Rock do it.

first name that came to mind was ford, but he might be slightly old and too suave for the part.

then i thought someone like crowe or the guy from LOR (Strider i think), but they are too musclebound.

the character is a real brain, not physically intimidating at all.

so...it looks like a hanks type will do okay, i just dont know if i like him doing the part.

I cant tell whether you are joking or not.

if you arent, then have you read the book? bc i dont think mel would take too kind to the subject matter.

just a thought.

I think that was his point, of course I could be wrong.

maybe Harrison Ford.

Tom Hanks should be good though.

I agree with everything said here except for, "That'll work," and, "Tom Hanks should be good though." I'm a fan of Tom Hanks, but I really don't see him as this character. I just read the book last week, looked up possible plans for a movie on IMDB, and was disappointed to see this casting.

I also was thinking of Harrison Ford, but this is probably for two reasons. One, the book had a slight Indiana Jones feel to it, no to mention the fact that the character, Robert Langdon was also a college professor much like Ford's character in the IJ trio. The other reason being that the book actually described Langdon as being a bit like Harrison Ford. Anyways, Tom Hanks just doesn't work for me here, but whatever. It was a good book, and I'm sure with Ron Howard directing, it will be a good movie as well.

Ron Howard said the best part about getting Hanks was that the character "thinks" a lot, and no one "thinks" better on camera than Hanks.

I disagree with that.

The best "thinking" I ever saw was Judd Nelson in "St Elmo's Fire":

ALEC: What extra-curricular love life? (then, it hits him like a ton of bricks. You can SEE IT on his face!) What did Kevin tell you?

Am I right? Am I right?

Is Tom Hanks good? I never watch movies with him in it. The only one I can think of that isn't at least 10 years old is Catch Me If You Can.
