Da Vinci star power
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
George Clooney, Russell Crowe, Tom Hanks, and Hugh Jackman are all in the running to star in a film adaptation of the runaway best-selling book, "The Da Vinci Code," according to author Dan Brown.
Brown disclosed the names of the potential stars of the flick when speaking to an audience in Concord, New Hampshire recently ? and the crowd gave the loudest applause to Clooney, reports the Union Leader of Manchester.
Brown said he resisted having his book made into a film, but Miramax head Harvey Weinstein convinced him that the public needs to know about "The Da Vinci Code" ? and most people don?t read.
?He absolutely appealed to my ego,? Brown said. Paramount, however, is making the film.
woah, I didn't know about this.
