Home, Sick
I got around to surfing and found out about Ron Howard and Tom Hanks imminent team up for "Da Vinci Code" -- interesting timing as I'm just winding down reading "Angels and Demons". Casting Jean Reno as Bezu Fache may be the best book-to-movie matching yet: I actually imagined Jean Reno as the inspector as I was reading the book.
Another point of interest was Loren Legarda's thwarted attempt in making it into "Mano Po 3", in what is a telling sign of her desire to run for office in 2010. Thwarted, nonetheless, by Mother Lily not wanting to just give her a cameo. Meanwhile, leave the acting to the Lipa City mayor.
And, is John-D the John Hughes of the Philippines?
Ah, but what really pleased me was Robodump.

but dont you think hanks as prof. langdon is somewhat hilaw?
Hi Happy,
The latest Newsweek issue named Jean Reno among those considered for the Bezu Fache role. I agree, he's a good match for the role.

I *do* agree that Tom Hanks isn't a good match. I actually think someone like Hugh Jackman will work fine in that role. That said, will Ron Howard direct anyone other than Hanks or Crowe?
