I read both Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons recently. I preferred Angels just because it was the first one of the series I read and it was all new. Plus I remember studying most of the sculptures and paintings and churches in Art History in college, so I could say... hey! I know that place!

Now I am all curious to explore the Vatican City and Rome next summer.

As these books are fiction, I enjoyed that they gave me a new perspective on the Catholic faith. Now if only my teachers in high school had made the bible that interesting. :rolleyes:

Tom Hanks is probably going to play Robert Langdon. I picture Langdon as more of a Harrison Ford-type guy, so I'm not sure if it's going to work.

Some are suggesting John Cusack, but Langdon's about 46 years old, so I don't know if Cusack could pull it off....

Ralph Fiennes would be great as well.... Some argue he's not a big enough box-office draw, but w/this book to movie project, I think that is a worthless argument. People are going to go see it no matter what.

I don't like Kate Beckinsale as Sophie...Sophie was a blond in my imagination...Charlize Theron would be good.

I know Langdon was suppose to be in his mid 40's but I mentally always pictured someone along the line of Johnny Depp (he is early 40's). Dark and a bit on the good looking side with a hint of sense of humor :)

Tom Hanks...NO!

I can't see him as Robert Langdon. I picture Langdon's character as someone who is ruggedly handsome...like Robert Redford in his younger days...well I still think he's ruggedly handsome, he's just too old for this role.

I don't know if I've mentioned this before but I think Tilda Swinton should play Sophie.

When reading TDVC, Tom Hanks did not come to mind.

Should be interesting. And I would agree with Hugh Jackman, but isn't his accent pronounced?

Yeah, Tom Hanks is pretty much a definite for the role. They are also saying the movie could turn into a trilogy

That's exactly what I was thinking.

One of our local papers had an article about Opus Dei, which referenced "The Da Vinci Code." The text is online at http://shrug.csl.uiuc.edu/~wedwards/opus_final.htm

I love like this book so far. I'm a little lost, but I figure as you go everything starts piecing together. Some of the things he talks about are so interesting like the PHI thing. I wonder if that has anything to do with some GLO's letters? It's so neat.

Dateline is doing a "fact finding" show about The Da Vinci Code right NOW

I only caught the tail end of it, but all this publicity can only help sales.

P.S does anyone know when his new book is coming out?
