The Da Vinci Code…on the big screen

Not sure how long this has been news but I saw the trailer for The Da Vinci Code film due out next summer (as in 2006). Apparently it has Tom Hanks in it along with other stars but would it make a good film? I’d always thought that books should stay as books as they’re usually crap as film. Ruins the immagination and it’s the directors immagination the film’s based around usually. It’s like the Harry Potter films. I go and see them but I have yet to come out feeling that it was a good representation of the books. Usually there’s massive chunks missing, the bits are wrong or not what’s in the book or just plan crap. So I’ll probably go see this but I suppose I’m very sceptical of this too.
