I'm very excited to see that Ian McKellan is in it as Sir Leigh, but I always saw him as more of a portly character, but anyway  And I LOVE Jean Reno... he will be perfect as Fache. Bring on next May  |

I can't actually imagine there NOT being one to be honest, since it is obviously going to be a HUGE profile release.

I saw a trailer/clips this morning on a show here in Oz...it looks very good...Tom Hanks looks great, his hair is longer than usual and swept back, he looks more and more like he now suits the part!!  |

Woah - looking great. I don't think Tom Hanks is great for the part, he's not very academic and they've even made him up to look like some geek, but he's a great actor, and he REALLY wanted the part so I daresay he'll do a good job of it. Everything else was great - Jacques looked very similar (if a little chubbier) to what I had in mind, and the Louvre and all the other beautiful locations speak for themselves  Ian McKellen is always wonderful and I'm looking forward to seeing how he develops the character. He has a great character to play (by the way, a lot of people still haven't read the book so if you are going to say something that could be classed as a spoiler please try to warn people first!!). Anyway, looking at the trailer - letters flash up on the latter name screens:  Is that all it says? The codes? It's all I can think of... |

Picture this: Roz alone in the middle of the night on her computer when there is a knock on the door! Roz answers warily. It is British Intelligence who lurk on The Forum and offer her a job in code breaking after her last post! Good one Roz! |

I have to say, I rather enjoyed the novel the first time around. I finished it in about 2 days. But I think that has as much to do with Dan Brown's intense writing as it does the short chapters (anyone else keeping thinking, oh just one more chapter, it's only 3 pages?)
But when I heard the Tom Hanks announcement, I was a little disappointed. I love Hanks and respect him very very much as an actor, but I don't think anyone else could really have pictured him while reading the book. I am very surprised however, he did look much better than I had ever expected. Hanks can act his way out of any script, so we'll see how he does it.
As a side note, Jean Reno looks great for the brief second we can catch him. I think he will fill the role perfectly.
After reading the book, I was doubtful that this could be translated well to the big screen.....after watching the trailer I am, again, a bit surprised. But I don't think it will be nearly as big of a hit as the book was.

Hey Roz...nice that you saw that to and decoded it...but you missed a little something. watch the trailer again and look at the screen before the actor list...you MAY see another word lit up, and that work MAY help you to find a nice little publicity site about cracking codes.

Argh! I only got the one viewing and I won't be able to see it again for a while - can you do a print screen with it like I did? I may get lucky and see the trailer at the cinema in front of Kong or Narnia, you never know |

Alright, I don't know if anyone else has noticed yet, but I can forsee a possible problem with in the Da Vinci Code film adaptation. Namely they hired Akiva Goldsman to write the screenplay. OUCH. Ok, ok, I know what you are thinking- he did win an oscar for A Beautiful Mind. That was a very well written script, but still had some minor plot errors. Here's to hoping he can adapt Dan Brown's novel well. But for the sake of it, let me offer some of the Golden lines of Goldsman. Apparently he has an affinity for bad bad bad puns (mostly revolving around things being cold or having to do with plants). "Allow me to break the ice. My name is Freeze. Learn it well. For it's the chilling sound of your doom." "Kill the HEROS!!!!" "ICE to see you" "In this universe, there's only one absolute... everything freezes!" "If revenge is a dish best served cold, then put on your Sunday finest. It's time to feast!" Well, and so on, and if you any of you have seen the film Batman and Robin, you will know exactly what I am refering to. The script ranks up there with the absolute worst of all time. Check out the movie for a real good laugh, or just read this synopsis. http://www.agonybooth.com/batman_robin/default.asp?Page=1It's a bit long, but kept me laughing out loud for a solid hour. But again, I hope Akiva Goldsman can follow the winning writting of A Beautiful Mind and not revert back to some of his older ways. |

Well, there's a new trailer out... If I were a film director and I was starting with Ian McKellen's voice in ultra gloomy, sincere Shakesperian mode, the last thing I'd do would be to use the same track for the background as was used for the Two Towers trailer... But that's me http://www.apple.com/trailers/sony_pictures/da_vinci_code/trailer1/large.htmlThe film has been canned at Cannes  oh well, I'll be going to see it to make up my own mind. |
