Comingsoon.net is reporting that Tom Hanks has been cast as Robert Langdon in the film version of 'The Da Vinci Code.' I think Hanks will be excellent as Langdon.
I received the book as a gift last Christmas and read it in two days. I am a normally fast reader but I read this even more quickly because it's short chapters read almost like scenes in a screenplay. I vividly imagined every chapter taking place on a movie screen as I read. So transferring it to film should be very easy.
At times The Da Vinci Code felt like a low-rent version of Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum, but I still enjoyed it very much and it should make for a very exciting film. Hopefully, Dan Brown's story will be the one that makes it to the screen.
Read 'Angels and Demons,' it's much better that Da Vinci, in my opinion. Same kind of story line, just a little more interesting from a science perspective, which I think you will enjoy.
