Dan Brown’s “Da Vinci Code” is still atop the NY Times Bestseller List and Ron Howard‘s adaptation is just about to get underway (June) and now two more names have been added to the cast as Ian McKellen will play Sir Teabing, a wealthy man who acts as a resource for Langdon even as he shows his own ambitions to uncover the Holy Grail and Alfred Molina will play zealous Bishop Arigarosa, who’s keenly interested in the sleuthing activities of Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) and cryptographer Sophie Neveu (Audrey Tautou).
The Da Vinci Code is set for a May 19, 2006 release and follows a murder in the Louvre and clues in Da Vinci paintings that lead to the discovery of a religious mystery protected by a secret society for two thousand years — which could shake the foundations of Christianity.
