Could this be Sophie and Silas in The Da Vinci Code?

From imdb.com:

"Delpy: "Da Vinci Role Is Mine"

French actress Julie Delpy has set her sights on the role of cryptologist Sophie Neveu in the forthcoming movie adaptation of best-selling book The Da Vinci Code. The Before Sunset star is a huge fan of Dan Brown's novel and is desperate for director Ron Howard to cast her opposite Tom Hanks in the mystery thriller. An American Werewolf in Paris and The Passion of Ayn Rand star Delpy enthuses, "The character is French, in her thirties and has a shade of red in her hair. I can become a redhead.""

I saw her pic on imdb...not quite what I was picturing when I read the book. I was thinking Sophie Marceau. Obvious this is hardly a confirmation - I was just curious what you guys think.

I didn't think this warranted a new thread, but Silas may be close to being cast!

Doctor Who To Play 'Da Vinci Code' Thug?


British actor Christopher Eccleston has wasted no time in finding his next big project after giving up on TV series Doctor Who after one season - he's reportedly in talks to play the villain of The Da Vinci Code. The Gone In 60 Seconds star is said to be the new favorite to play killer monk Silas in director Ron Howard's adaptation of Dan Brown's best-selling book, according to website Digitalspy.Com. Jim Carrey was also rumored to be in talks for the role of the monk, who is a fearsome albino in the story. The Da Vinci Code, which will star Tom Hanks, Jean Reno and Audrey Tautou, begins filming in June.


Thoughts? Judging from his photos, it's not quite the Ralph Fiennes I was picturing, but I can definitely see an albino monk in him. Finally, some casting I like!

"Before Sunrise" and "But I'm a Cheerleader". I don't remember either movie much though.

I happen to be happy for you that you're happy she's finally getting some recognition she deserves. I'm not ragging on her. I'm just saying that aesthetically speaking, she isn't what I pictured Sophie to look like. *shrug*

---

She's very pretty- I could see her playing Sophie, I think. I haven't seen her act, so I can't speak for that, but her face seems fine.

Hey, Tiff, you finish that paper?

She's very pretty, yeah. I keep picturing women playing against Colin Firth though, because I always pegged him for the role of Robert. (Note: I'd look really good against Colin Firth. Just, y'know, FYI.) Tom Hanks though....ehhhhh...

Where was she in But I'm a Cheerleader? I just saw that credit on IMDb and I saw it once, but I don't remember her in it.


And Plum, um.... *guilty look*

---

Move it, Tiff! Work! I'm almost done; let's go!

I vaguely remember Megan at a bar, but not much more than that. Was she any good in the sequel to Before Sunrise? I don't remember the first one too well.


Okay Plum! I'm going! I'm going! (Am I crying wolf today or what??)

BEFORE SUNSET was one of the best films I saw this year. It was even better than the first and goes into my book of best romance films of all time.

---

Yes, it came out on DVD 3 weeks ago.

Tiff, go write your paper, young lady. And then you can rent both Before Sunrise and Before Sunset as a reward. Now scoot!

No. Outline's don't count for SH*T. It's like talking about a project. The more you talk about it, the further away it gets to actually happening.
Type, typeATiff.
Anyway, I'm one of those people that is baffled by the overwhelming popularity of this book. I'll probably go see the movie, since it will make a bajillion dollars on opening weekend, but also because the movie will be better than the book. The thing with the book is, it's a GREAT story, horribly told. So on screen, it'll be good. That's my theory.

I totally, 100% agree. I can understand it's popularity, because it's storyline and its theories are very intriguing, but the only apsect that I HATED was the way it was narrated. You could tell Dan Brown wrote it, expecting it to be made into a movie. And if Howard stays loyal to the book, it's going to be a fantastic, suspenseful movie.

Bump!
