The Da Vinci Job

[altariel]

Oh man! I just checked back on the cast list for The Da Vinci Job Code, and Paul Bettany has been cast as Silas the albino killer monk!

Can't wait to see him act this bit:

"Andorra, he thought feeling his muscles tighten. Incredibly, it was in that barren and forsaken suzerain between Spain and France, shivering in his stone cell, wanting only to die, that Silas had been saved."

That's made my morning, that has. Ah, Andorra! Why did I ever leave?

Another great oh-so-original casting choice. Maybe they just had a look at the slightly unflattering photo in his IMDB profile and thought: "Hey, the poor guy does actually look a bit pigmentally challenged. Let's take him." I think he deserves better roles, but perhaps he needs the money just as urgently as Ian McKellen... *sigh*

Perhaps he couldn't resist working with a cast as good as they've got.

Might be an explanation. I mean the casting is really fabulous, which makes the project so interesting and tragic at the same time. Oh, well, I am, in all likelihood, going to see the movie just for the cast and the snark anyway, so I should stop complaining. :)
