The Da Vinci Cast

[zorac]

So, I've had a look over the casting choices for the movie adaptation of The Da Vinci Code. I can't argue with the acting ability of most of the choices, but the producers seem to have (in most cases) chosen people who completely fail to fit [my mind's eye view of] the characters. What do you think? Obviously, it would be rather pointless to try

I haven't read it, although I'd like to - none of my book suppliers have passed it on. Book suppliers... makes me sound like I have a crack habit. lol

At any rate, I'd like to nominate Janet Reno instead of Jean Reno, and I will be very impressed if you know who she is. I suspect that only Americans will know and then they'll realize that I really do have a crackbook habit. ;)

Actually, I do happen to know that she was Attorney General. Whether I know this for any reason than that she popped up as a character on Ally McBeal for a couple of episodes is an entirely different question, though...

*laughs* You still get the point, but I'm fairly certain that is why you know it. Some things never change, hmm?

WHilst I think that it'll make a better film than a book, I really couldn't even beging to make a start at casting this..

Before I start flinging my opinion around, I'm going to ask if you actually enjoyed the book ... as I feel my opinion of it somewhat informs my casting choices.

I think I'd probably take the 'damning with faint praise' approach. It certainly isn't good enough to deserve its world-wide bestseller status. But then, neither do most world-wide bestsellers...

Can't make Paul Bettany evil. It's just wrong!
