Entertainment Weekly reports that Israeli actress Ayelet Zurer has landed the role of Vittoria Vetra in Columbia Pictures' "Da Vinci Code" prequel, Angels & Demons.

Zurer, who has appeared in Munich and was last seen in Vantage Point, will star opposite Tom Hanks in the Ron Howard-directed film. Naomi Watts was previously reported as being attached to the role.

Zurer's character is the daughter of CERN physicist Leonardo Vetra. Following her father's death, Vittoria pairs with Robert Langdon (Hanks) on a journey to uncover the mystery behind her father's murder and stop a terrorist plot.

Filming is set to begin in Europe in June for a May 15, 2009 release.

It's been a while since I've read "Angels & Demons", was Vittoria Italian? Not that I'm discriminating; I'm sure Zurer will do well. I was kinda iffy about Naomi Watts playing Vittoria.

As long as they don't change the main plot points from the book, this should be great. The 4 cardinals have got to die

I thought they were trying to get people in the roles who were the same nationality? Course, they did have a British guy playing a Spanish monk in the first one. I just hope they get someone really good for the carmelengo.
