'Da Vinci' Casting News & More


Brits Ian McKellen and Alfred Molina are joining Tom Hanks in Ron Howard's big-screen adaptation of "The Da Vinci Code," according to Variety. Molina, last seen as Dr. Octopus in "Spider-Man 2," will play zealous Bishop Arigarosa, who's keeping a close eye on the investigations of Robert Langdon (Hanks, as you all know). McKellen will play Sir Teabing, a wealthy man who is a resource for Langdon, even as he shows his own ambitions to uncover the Holy Grail. Production will begin in June for a May 19, 2006 release (pushed back from a previous release date of March 2006).

Am waiting to be first in line to see it.

Loved the book and I really like the author's other books, too.

After puting it off, I've finally started reading it. I can't hardly put it down so far. Mom and dad both read and loved it. My mom met a friend for lunch one day and took her a copy. Strangers were coming up to her talking about it. I can't really remember a book, in my lifetime, that's had this much of an effect on people.

Should be a great movie. They picked a good person for Sophie...exactly how I would have picturered her.

Tom Hanks though....I'm not sure how well he'll pull off Langdon. I'm sure he'll do fine, but I think they could have cast a better person.....If Harrison Ford was a little younger, he would have been a great choice.
