But more importantly:
I DON'T want Tom Hanks to play Langdon!!! He's a great actor but he's not gonna do it for me I don't think. I'm dying to see who gets cast in all the other major parts. Silas, Captain Bezu Fache, Sophie Neveu...and I'm only on page 68!!!
I'd LOVE George Clooney to play Langdon.
I'd like Tom Noonan to play Silas. (killer in "Manhunter")
I think Bob Hoskins would make a good Fache if he could pull off a French accent. In my mind he seems more the body type. Otherwise Jean Reno would be just fine by me!!! Hollywood's resident Frenchy it seems. Again, okay by me.
I think Sophie should be played by an 'unknown' and authentic french actress. N'est pas, oui? If it has to be a Hollywood type, mmmmm, it would be very nice to see Natalie Portman play against Reno again. [note to self: when you can, buy "The Professional" on DVD!!!]
Anyway, I've got a cat waiting for her lap reservations so I must go settle down for a little more reading and a lap full of purring fur.
*coughhackcough* ack! I don't wanna be sick damn it! Should put on some tea too. Oh look, I have some cheeseez left...........
Oh and a GIP just to back up my Cloony [or is it Clooney?!] campaign....
