I discovered today that I am the only technical writer in my entire company that has not read Dan Brown's worldwide blockbuster phenom novel The DaVinci Code. After not being able to participate in a conversation that lasted nearly twenty minutes, I was convinced that I will have to read it.
And I'm sure everyone out there knows that it is being made into a movie. Yep! I hadn't even read the book and yet I knew. But what I did not know is the caliber of people participating in the creation of the film. Consider the following:
Oscar award winning director Ron Howard (A Beautiful Mind) is directing the film.
Oscar winning writer Akiva Goldsman (A Beautiful Mind) is adapting the novel into a screenplay.
And Oscar winning actor Tom Hanks is playing Robert Langdon.
I was also most impressed that France's most loved actress Audrey Tautou is playing Sophie Neveu. (You have seen Audrey in the Oscar nominated film Amelie and last years' World War 1 epic A Very Long Engagment, which I consider one of the best films of 2004.)
So, what I'm trying to say is that I'm a fan already. Long live symbolic theory!
