The Da Vinci Code to be filmed in the Louvre
France will allow director Ron Howard to shoot scenes in the famed Louvre museum for the Columbia Pictures adaptation of Dan Brown’s bestseller The Da Vinci Code.
Asked about plans to shoot the movie, starring Tom Hanks as Professor Robert Langdon, in the Louvre in summer, a spokesman for the Culture Ministry said: “Yes, it is scheduled to go ahead. There is no problem.�
A production team has already visited the Louvre to select locations in its Grand Gallery, where the opening of the novel is set.
Filming usually takes place at night and on Tuesdays, when the museum is closed to the public.
Tom Hanks plays Robert Langdon in Da Vinci Code
Two time Academy award winner actor Tom Hanks is all set to bring fictious character Robert Langdon to flesh in the on screen adaptation of Dan Brown’s cult novel ‘Da Vinci Code’. To be directed by Ron Howard, the Oscar winning director of ‘A Beautiful Mind’ the movie is already aroused loads of hype and curiosity.
Though names of other heavyweights like Liam Neeson, Dennis Quaid and Mel Gibson were also in fray to enact the once in a lifetime role but Hanks stole the role from under the nose of everyone. The director, Howard himself told Newsweek that he chose Hanks to play Langdon because ‘The Da Vinci Code’ sells itself, but (Hanks) gives Langdon instant legitimacy.
The screen adaptation of the Dan Brown bestseller kicks off in modern-day Paris with the murder of the Louvre’s chief curator, whose body is found laid out in symbolic repose at the foot of the Mona Lisa. Seizing control of the case are Sophie Neveu, a lovely French police cryptologist, and Harvard symbol expert Robert Langdon, reprising his role from Brown’s last book. The two find several puzzling codes at the murder scene, all of which form a treasure map to the fabled Holy Grail. As their search moves from France to England, Neveu and Langdon are confounded by two mysterious groups-the legendary Priory of Sion, a nearly 1,000-year-old secret society whose members have included Botticelli and Isaac Newton, and the conservative Catholic organization Opus Dei. Both have their own reasons for wanting to ensure that the Grail isn’t found. Brown sometimes ladles out too much religious history at the expense of pacing, and Langdon is a hero in desperate need of more chutzpah. Still, Brown has assembled a whopper of a plot that will please both conspiracy buffs and thriller addicts.
Released in March 2003, The ‘Da Vinci Code’ by Dan Brown has sold more than 4.5 million copies (as of January 2004). It has camped atop the New York Times bestseller list. Brown’s thriller (after Angels and Demons) is an exhaustively researched page-turner about secret religious societies, ancient cover-ups and savage vengeance.
Tom Hanks has appeared in films like Cast Away and Big, as well as on the sitcom Bosom Buddies, is considered one of the most bankable movie stars on the planet. He took the leading-actor trophy at the Academy Awards for his work in Philadelphia and Forrest Gump. Recently hanks gave us such memorable films like - The Terminal and The Polar Express.
Tom Hanks is expected to take the lead role if a deal can be worked out with Howard. French actor Jean Reno may also appear in the film in a supporting role.
Jean Reno confirmed for The Da Vinci Code
Jean Reno is, surprise surprise, cast in The Da Vinci Code as Bezu Fache, the French Detective, said Coming Soon.
Not a great shock there, the chat on the previous posts on this role has had his name all over it, and it’s the best choice all round. Might just save his career after the farce of The Pink Panther!
Earlier Tom Hanks was confirmed as leading actor for Da Vinci Code.
Wat een mooi boek was dat he? Ik heb nog nooit zo snel een boek uitgelezen!
ME neither! Ik heb Berninni Mysterie 2 dagen geleden uitgelezen!
Nu bezig met "Juvenalis Dillema"

Ik heb overwogen die boeken aan te schaffen maar ik twijfel nog. Waar gaat het Berninni mysterie over dan?
Bernini gaat over de Illuminatie die het Vaticaan infiltreren om het Geloof te vernietigen. Robert Langdon moet proberen een antimaterie wapen dat verstopt
ligt in het Vaticaan te vinden door een verborgen pad door Rome te volgen.
Het pad is eeuwen daarvoor ontworpen door Galilei en Bernini in de vorm van
subtiele hints in kunstwerken en architectuur.
Imho een boek dat zeker niet onderdoet voor de DaVince Code!
Zit weer boordevol van de toffe weetjes e.d. net als het 2e boek!
Ik moet zeggen dat ik hoop dat er meer boeken over Robert Langdon komen!
Coole character! Hoewel ik me er niet echt Tom Hanks bij had voorgesteld!
Bedankt voor de info mannen, super!!!
Wie had jij willen zien dan Mickey? Mij lijkt Tom Hanks ook niet de juiste maar zou niet weten wie uit Holywood er een professor on de Iconologie zou moeten spelen.
Ik had een wat ouder persoon voor ogen.
Weet niet waarom. Harrison Ford leek me wel een goede kandidaat.
George Clooney ...........

Vind hanks niet echt geschikt voor de rol van prof langdon. Had liever Russel Crow in de plaats gezien.
