OK What about Nicholas Cage for - Robert Langdon...I don't think that

[xultar]

Tom Hanks is a terrible Robert Langdon.

What about George Clooney?

I wish I could have casted thjis. I need to call Opie.

1. Clooney'd be all right

Harrison Ford's getting too old, but he would have been ideal 10 years ago.

2. I'm reading it now...

...coincidence? No, not really :)

Just on CH 14, but Cage, no, Hanks, I could see it. Clooney I could also see.

3. What about

a thinner Alec Baldwin?

[Sybil Reitz]

4. Nah. My husband says the only person he can see in the role is

Aidan Quinn. I think I agree, but mostly because I really can't picture anyone in the role.

But definitely not Hanks.

5. He would have been good! Or Liam Neeson.

6. Hey, that's a good pick. nt

7. John Travolta. The only problem I have with Hanks as Langdon

Is that Hanks can act, and there won't be one place in this film where anyone has to actually act. They need someone who can run and stare lustfully at a much younger attractive redhead. Hanks doesn't look the part, and there won't be enough in this film for him to act his way to credibility in the part, unless Howard puts more into the film than is in the book.

Travolta could be interesting. He can look cool for most of the film, I wouldn't have a lot of trouble believing a woman ten years younger might be interested in him (though I never believed it in the book, either), and if he has to act a little, he can pull it off.

8. Derek de Lint !!!!

Did anyone ever see him as Abelard (of Abelard & Heloise fame) in "Stealing Heaven"?

Or in "The Unbearable Lightness of Being"?

Or "China Beach"?

9. i am a tom hanks fan. but i can't see him as langdon. i think dennis

quaid would be good in that role.

[AgadorSparticus]

10. on second thought, i think Viggo Mortensen would be a great RL.

Please, anyone but Tom Hanks.
