When I was reading both Angels & Demons and then The Da Vinci Code, I always pictured Jeff Bridges playing the role of Robert Langdon. Possibly because of his performance in Arlington Road which was vaguely similar (and a very good film).
I don't think Hanks was particularly bad in the role or mis-cast, I just think the film should not have been made. It was one of those knee jerk reactions to a massively popular book. The film companies saw the opportunity to make a buck and made the film as quickly as possible with the biggest names they could find (Hanks and McKellen). It's not an awful film, it does have it's good points.
