I’m planning on picking up his other books eventually as well.  I think Sam Neill would be a perfect choice to portray Langdon.  Even Harrison Ford would be good as the comparison is made in the book.  Or maybe Julian Sands with the short hair look now that he has aged a bit.

But they are indeed fast reads so that helps. I love the subject of the Knights Templar, Priory of Sion, and the Illuminati. All intriguing stuff. I’m just amazed at how the locations the secret rites are factual. I of course could never confirm those rites, but it is all compelling reading nonetheless. I’m definitely thinking about picking up deception point and digital fortress. As for the role of Robert Langdon, I thought Sam Neill would be a pretty good choice. He does a pretty good job of being the scholar. I’m not sure who would be Sophie. But the suggestion of Jean Reno as Fache was superb in my opinion. I’m thinking about picking up the Holy Blood, Holy Grail book as well. Anyone have thoughts on that? And I *still* have to go see Passion… I agree with his writing methods.
