Tom Hanks to star in "Da Vinci Code" movie!

[romantico]

Totally miscast, but oh well! I'm not wild about Ron Howard directing either. ROman Polanski was all but signed & then dropped from the film. Too bad. Polanski would have given it what it needed.

2. That's needed

[PROGRESSIVE1]

4. Good Lord,Tom Hanks! I love him but he's too old for the part IMHO

[devilgrrl]

5. I had suggested Kevin Spacey as the lead...

apparently Mr. Howard felt otherwise.

Seriously, I did and he listened to what I had to say. Ron Howard's way cool.

6. Yuck

I think that George Clooney would have made a much better Robert Langdon!! Tom Hanks is way to old, and not at all the face that I envisioned when I read this book

[maveric]

8. I second Clooney.

Hanks is a miscast.

7. Wow - Peter Jackson has lost a lot of weight

9. Oh my.

Terrible book. Overrated actor. It doesn't bode well.

[matcom]

10. oh my.

Overrated actor. WONDERFUL book. too bad.

11. But Jean Reno is up for Bezu Fache, the French cop...

and I'll watch anything with Jean Reno in it! Yum!

Hanks could be OK. I generally like him, but don't really see him as Langdon. Oh well. Viggo Mortenson would have been good, actually -- put him in a nice tweedy jacket and he'd be great.
