lotesseI heard an interview on npr last night with Hans Zimmer, who's doing the score for The DaVinci Code. The universe is conspiring to make me interested in this movie.
It's a horrid, horrid book. Brown is a dreadful stylist and not oo good with the characters either. (Excellent takedown of the earliest bits of leaden prose here.)
But but but...Ian McKellan and Paul Bettany and Zimmer sounded so coherent and interesting. And the music--or the few samples that I heard--was genuinely lovely in a sort of Palestrina-style way, and I'm a sucker for Palestrina. I am excited for this movie. Dear god, why do I have to be excited for this movie? The premise is so utterly silly.
I'm still really just seeing it for Ian.
