With that noted, I am very pleased with this news, and according to Joblo.com he has already signed on for the role and is not in negotiations anymore.
Also, I don't know what some of you guys are talking about because the books are great. The amount of research Dan Brown would have to do to make these books as plausible as they are is freakin ridiculous. The detail of all the locations is exact.
Ron Howard's The Da Vinci Code was ok, not even remotely fantastic but not terrible either. I think this one will be better. I hope so anyway.
