They found an Israeli.......to play an Italian woman? hah?


There are hundreds of beautiful Italian acresses in Italy and they casted an Israeli in the role of Dr. Vetra? It does not make sense. oy vey

They also casted Tom as a professor. How dare they!

lol

Get over it! It's called acting and she did a great job.


I'm not weird ... I'm gifted!

I felt Tom Hanks was much more himself than hes was Robert Langdon in The Da Vinci Code

it is this racist/xenophobic thinking that brings down the world.

you should be ashamed for looking beyond someones ability for the role and finding only hate.

you are what is wrong with man.

I agree. However, imho she was miscast. Her character came across very differently in the book, and seeing the actress who played her was a disappointment. Like you said, this has nothing to do with her nationality, but it does affect the movie.

reply

Since they are all mediterranean I think she is fine for that role.

Had she been very attractive, I wouldn't care. She isn't, so I have to wonder as well what lead them to this decision. Of course she's not ugly, but saying Ayelet Zurer is "incredibly beautiful" is a pretty absurd statement. Audrey Tautou playing Sophie Neveu in "Da Vinci Code" was far better looking, and even she isn't what I would call spectacular. Which is fine, I suppose - they're supposed to be scientists, not supermodels.

the past tense of "cast"... is cast.

yet again, someone has to complain about this rubbish. get over it. someone's nationality doesn't detract from a film

Stating your opinion as if it were a fact is more absurd. Many people find her and Tautou gorgeous. Just because you have some ridiculously high standard while typing away from your mom's basement doesn't mean other people share your sentiments.

There are few things as fetching as a bruised ego on a beautiful angel.
