Christopher Eccelston as Doctor Who, but will he have a part in The Da Vinci Code? |
Eccleston recently turned down an offer from the BBC to return as the Doctor in the revamped Doctor Who and UK newspaper the Sunday Mirror is reporting he may well end up in Ron Howard's movie.
A source is quoted as saying: "As soon as film producers spotted Chris on Doctor Who they knew they had to go for him - he has everything they want. He is a very serious and respected actor who always gives a great performance. He would be brilliant as Silas."
The book starts with the murder of a Lourve curator and the clues he leaves behind, which send Robert Langdon on a journey that leads to a well-protected secret that could change Christianity forever.
Silas is a somewhat tragic figure who works for the Opus Dei sect of the Catholic church.
Tom Hanks, Jean Reno and Audrey Tautou star with Ron Howard directing from a screenplay by Akiva Goldsman.
