I can’t see her in the role. Sophie Marceau or Julie Delpy maybe, but not Audrey.

Tautou May Decipher ‘Da Vinci Code’
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) – French actress Audrey Tautou, who stars in the World War I drama “A Very Long Engagement,” may have a chance to run around modern-day France for her next project.
The gamine actress will reportedly play opposite Tom Hanks in the film adaptation of Dan Brown’s best-selling novel “The Da Vinci Code,” according to Le Parisien newspaper.
The project centers on symbologist Robert Langdon (Hanks), who must clear his name of murdering a museum curator by deciphering a series of codes left by the dead man that point to the location of the Holy Grail. Tautou will play Sophie Neveu, the curator’s granddaughter who helps Langdon crack the code.
Tautou, 26, beat out Sophie Marceau, former Miss France Linda Hardy and Julie Delpy for the coveted role. Also recently cast is Jean Reno as Bezu Fache, the captain of the French Judicial Police.
Director Ron Howard will begin shooting this summer, aiming for a May 19, 2006 release date.
Tautou’s other film credits include “Venus Beauty Institute,” “Dirty Pretty Things” and her breakthrough film “Amelie.”
