Could this be Sophie and Silas in The Da Vinci Code? — Page 2

Audrey Tautou does indeed speak English. Her English language debut was in Dirty Pretty Things, I believe.

But you one upped me with a pretty picture

can I still voice my displeasure with Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon?

Yes, and I'm right there with you kissmycookie. SO wrong.

I'm not happy about Tom Hanks either, but maybe he'll surprise me. He's a great actor, so I'm hoping he can somehow pull off this part.
I think Audrey Tautou is a good casting choice, and though I'm not familiar with Christopher Eccleston, he looks the part.

I wonder how Julie Delpy is feeling today.

As talentless as she feels on every other day, I shouldn't wonder.

I think Hanks got cast because he's worked with director Ron Howard before (Apollo 13, Splash). Rumor was that Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe and George Clooney besides Hanks were leading candidates.

Another update from IMDB. Alfred Molina as Bishop Aringarosa. I could see it. Whyyyy Tom Hanks?? Whyyyy??

British actors Ian McKellen and Alfred Molina have been added to the cast of the anticipated screen adaptation of Dan Brown's controversial novel The Da Vinci Code. The movie, which will be directed by Ron Howard, features Oscar-winning actor Tom Hanks in the lead role as Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon. Molina will portray Bishop Arigarosa, who takes a strong interest in the Holy Grail-pursuing efforts of Langdon and cryptographer Sophie Neveu, played by Audrey Tautou. McKellen takes on the role of wealthy eccentric Sir Teabing, who also has an interest in tracking down the Holy Grail.
