I’m getting happier with the casting of The Da Vinci Code now, forget the leads for the moment that carry all that controversy, on here at least, and concentrate on the new announcements yesterday and today. Variety through Coming Soon have an update:
Alfred Molina will play zealous Bishop Arigarosa, who’s keenly interested in the sleuthing activities of Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) and cryptographer Sophie Neveu (Audrey Tautou). Sir Ian McKellen will play Sir Teabing, a wealthy man who acts as a resource for Langdon even as he shows his own ambitions to uncover the Holy Grail.
McKellen is perfect for the role, and I can just picture him in it just now, and as for Molina, well he just looks the part and they both just ooze style and character acting. What does everyone else think?
