PS,didn't like Tatou for the role either...

Isn't this a movie Prince could have starred in and directed? With Tamar in the Tatou role?

I am loving the idea of Patrick, but what about my other favorite TV doc?

I suspect he's a bit older than 40ish, but I like the idea.

If he were cast as a murder victim, I could go for that.

I dunno. I still suspect he and Patrick may be too blatantly dreamy and come off too young onscreen for the story. Plus, while he rocks Dr. Carter, has he ever had a strong, serious screen role?

...The more I think about it, I really like him in this role.

I think he actually ghost-wrote the book!

I've said plenty of times Gabriel Byrne too But That Patrick fella (dont know his surname) looks about right too...

and definitely Giles from Buffy!! He'd have been perfect!

Im glad Im not the only one visualising Langdon as this type of guy - who is NOTHING like Hanks!!!

Tom Hanks -->

ANd I dont agree with Audrey Tatou either... but who was the one in Chocolat? If she were a teeny bit younger

Lammastide said:

no he hasn't but having a big name to carry the film hasn't helped either

William Faulkner.


I don't have a picture of him, but he's the actor from "Armeggedon" who's character lead the NASA mission and got the gun when they were going to blow up the nuke early.

Any Frenchman would have done. He's easier to hate

I also was thinking Henry Czerny. He's 47, he's handsome and he has a certain "gravitas." He's played Dr. Briggs in the Exorcism of Emily Rose and Tom Cruise's boss in the Mission Impossible flicks.

That is why I love to go to Oakland to see movies. No disrespect just pure love.

Story boring.

Acting boring.

No suspense.

No flow.

Dont' waste your time or money.

It's alright movie so I guess when it comes out on dvd people will find out.

It's not half as bad as the media and the religious are making it out to be. Tom Hanks is believable in the role and I think the critism is weak but so is all of the negative attention this movie is getting.

I mean it's not Gigli, give me a break.

Colin Farrell's a great actor. I thought about Russell Crowe, but I didn't buy him as a professor in "A Beautiful Mind."

Gray up Colin's hair. He could do it, for sure.

He was the best part about "Minority Report." That's the movie that made me realize he could really act. Stole the movie from Tom Cruise, in my opinion.

prior to reading everyone elses answers...

my sister and i had this SAME conversation 2 nights ago...

i said Pierce Brosnan. she said a younger Sean Connery. i didn't think her answer was fair...we can't unage Sean (is unage a word?? well it is now dammit!) and the movie is now...Sean is old now...doesn't work. Pierce is classy, intelligent, handsome, still looks rather youthful...plus while reading the book, even though it was in kind of a clumsy way, i pictured Robert Langdon to be spyish...sort of James Bond-like.

great choice. fantastic actor. handsome enough without being uber sexy.

british isn't he?? (prior to answering the thread myself i didn't notice that Lam was asking for 'American' actors...why does the actor NEED to be American??)

HamsterHuey said:

believable...and as hot as BALLS!!!!

not that he can even speak english properly, but he's hot!

whose idea was it to cast Tom Hanks anyway

what a lost opportunity.
