It's confirmed: Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon
Columbia Pictures has confirmed that Tom Hanks has been cast in the lead role of the famed symbologist Robert Langdon in the studio's upcoming film adaptation of Dan Brown's best-selling thriller The Da Vinci Code, it was announced today by Sony Pictures Entertainment Motion Picture Group Chairman Amy Pascal and the film's producers Brian Grazer and John Calley. The studio also announced that it has slated May 19, 2006 as the worldwide day and date release for the highly anticipated film.
OK. I'm trying hard to imagine Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon. Although Harrison Ford would be the perfect choice, had he been 20 years younger, I am still not convinced to have Tom Hanks as Langdon. Maybe he has been stereocasted as a simpleton, loner, outcast... to have him as an intellectual cum adventurist... still doesn't click. But Tom Hanks has proved to be a versatile actor, and I am seldom disappointed by his movies. So, let's just hope it doesn't bomb.

He's really the last person I have in mind for the role. He can act really well, but the appearance is not convincing at all. Langdon is supposed to be slim and fit, he swims everyday after all. But on the other hand, Tom is just fat and too uncle-looking. He better do something to fit the role. I think Nicholas Cage fits the role far better. The producer also mentioned that they hope to get a french babe for Sophie's role, let's see who's the hot babe they're going to get. Hehehehe.
