Da Vinci Code casting news

If you have not yet ready the Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown, I really suggest you do.  If ever there was a page turner, this is it!  This book is the first of his books I read and I was captivated by it.  His writing keeps you turning those pages to see what happens next.  I think it has to do with keeping his chapters short and never giving you you the satisfaction of knowing how that bit ends before you hit the end of the chapter.

Anyway, the book is being turned into a movie starring Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon and IMDB has reported that Audrey Tautou will play the role of Sophie Neveu:

Tautou To Play ‘Da Vinci’ Role?

       

          French film star Audrey Tautou is thrilled she’s won the lead role in the upcoming film adaptation of US author Dan Brown‘s best-selling thriller The Da Vinci Code. The popular Amelie star, who is currently on screens in A Very Long Engagement, will play Sophie Neveu – the young French cryptologist assisting Professor Robert Langdon – played by Tom Hanks – in his investigation. The Professional actor Jean Reno
will also star, playing detective Bezu Fache. Filming is due to start
later this year – with a predicted cinema release of May 2006.
