Reply #7: John Travolta. The only problem I have with Hanks as Langdon [View All]

[jobycom]

Is that Hanks can act, and there won't be one place in this film where anyone has to actually act. They need someone who can run and stare lustfully at a much younger attractive redhead. Hanks doesn't look the part, and there won't be enough in this film for him to act his way to credibility in the part, unless Howard puts more into the film than is in the book.

Travolta could be interesting. He can look cool for most of the film, I wouldn't have a lot of trouble believing a woman ten years younger might be interested in him (though I never believed it in the book, either), and if he has to act a little, he can pull it off.
