Seeing as how The Da Vinci Code has been at the top of the bestseller list for over two years, odds are you've read it. And if you didn't know it already, it should come as no surprise to you that a film is being made of it. (Something with that kind of track record is a no-brainer even for your average Hollywood exec.)
Well, Ron Howard is directing, which has had my attention for a while. They cast Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon a while back, and I heaved a big sigh of relief. (The rumor to that point had been that Russell Crowe was going to get the job.) They've also got the industry standard "French-speaking character actor" Jean Reno on board.
Now, word has arrived that Ian McKellen and Alfred Molina are entering the mix. Whether you thought the book lived up to the hype or not, you have to admit they're putting together a pretty great cast, and likely the "movie to beat" in 2006.

I suppose I should finally get on the bandwagon and read the damned book.
This reminds me of the director and cast of Batman Begins. There's no chance that movie could suck with such talent behind it.
