More tabloid DA VINCI CODE casting rumors! Is Silas cast' Plus Variety confirms Gandalf and Doc Ock!!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here this fine evening with a little rumor from the beings known for their journalistic merits including, but not limited to pictures of celebrities buying milk, the most accurate and recent JFK/Elvis/Martian sightings and an occasional DA VINCI CODE casting rumor. This could very well be true. We know that there must have been a really good reason for Christopher Eccleston to leave DR. WHO, a show that is on the good side of most fans of the original series. So, you can click below for the story, if it's true. I'll meet you below for the confirmed bit from Variety.

Am sure you have heard this rumour but here it is in case you haven't. The Sunday Mirror is probably not the most trustworthy of tabloids to be honest.......

Now Variety has Sir Ian McKellen and Alfred Molina announced as being in the movie. If you have an account you can read the full story here... or you can click through and read the first two sentences.

For those who don't want to try, it seems that McKellen is cast as Sir Teabing, "a wealthy man who acts as a resource for Langdon even as he shows his own ambitions to uncover the Holy Grail." Alfred Molina will play Bishop Arigarosa, "who's keenly interested in the sleuthing activities of Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) and cryptographer Sophie Neveu (Audrey Tautou)."

The cast on this one seems second to none and it keeps on building. What do you folks think of the tabloid rumor and the confirmed casting? I haven't read the book, so you tell me... Perfect casting or off by a mile?
