I saw the latest Da Vinci Code film clip recently--Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou as Robert Langdon and Sophie Neveu in the Louvre. Unfortunately, it made me cringe with its stilted dialogue and flat acting. I have been saying for some time that I think The Da Vinci Code will be the biggest grossing movie of all time. I still think that will turn out to be true. But it isn't going to win huge critical acclaim. It looks like the screenplay has not really nailed the right voice to tell the story in and Tom Hanks remains a poor casting choice in my opinion. In my straw polls taken in groups of Da Vinci Code enthusiasts around the country before the cast for the film was officially announced, a noticeable majority favored Harrison Ford (for whom the Robert Langdon part was written by Dan Brown, if you read his descriptions of Langdon in the novels) and Juliette Binoche.
