Angels and Demons, I am told, is the better of the DaVinci Code books, and is well on its way to becoming a prequel to the most mixed reviewed movie in Tom Hanks career. And they have added Ayelet Zurer to the cast.
A big piece of the Angels and Demons casting puzzle has just been filled. According to Hollywood Insider, Israeli actress Ayelet Zurer has been cast as Vittoria Vetra for Angels and Demons.
The DaVinci Code was such a critically acclaimed book that it was doomed to be a movie, and fans either loved or hated the film. I ask one person if they liked it and it gets me a heartfelt fanboy rant about how good it was or a sigh of disgust followed by the lack of effort to go into what they hated one more time.
With such mixed reactions, were there enough people that are going to want to see this prequel? Should they have started with this one first?
I just don’t know. I haven’t read the books as they dont really fit in the genre I prefer to read.
Is casting news getting you excited about this or were you already done with DaVinci?
