Well, at least my main annoyance with the book will (hopefully!) not make it to the screen, because Dan Brown's style and me are really, really not friends. I'd have hoped for actors to redeem the characters I felt lacked good characterisation and the like, but I was thinking mostly of Hanks' and Tautou's characters, and I like neither of those actors. Hopefully the script will rectify that, though. But there's also the fact that everything is so gorram predictable and expected in the book, and it's just... there's nothing that really commanded my attention, unless it was to groan at it.
Nothing but Silas and his mentor and their story, so you can imagine how psyched I was when I learned who they'd cast as Silas. Psyched, and slightly resentful, in a "now I'll have to go see it" way. But mostly psyched.
Right, okay, thanks, I think I'll definitely buy it then.
It's not "focus" so much as "an incredible ability to lust". But yes. And heh, Mr. Bettany is definitely my #1. A friend of mine had told me he would be, and I went "nah, he'll be in the top 5 but not #1" except when it came down to it... yes, he is. I am helpless for that man.
