The Quicktime Movie Trailers page brings the very first teaser for next year’s "The Da Vinci Code." Based on the overwhelmingly popular novel by Dan Brown, "The Da Vinci Code" ‘centers on one of the greatest mysteries of humankind, a 2000 year-old conspiracy, clues to which are encoded in the paintings of Leonardo Da Vinci.’

Sitting in the director’s chair for this highly anticipated project is Ron Howard ("Cocoon," "Cinderella Man"), and the filmmaker will once again be working from an adapted screenplay by Akiva Goldsman ("A Beautiful Mind"). Tom Hanks is will play the lead role of professor Robert Langdon, and he’ll be flanked by a supporting cast that includes Audrey Tautou ("Amelie"), Ian McKellen ("The Lord of the Rings"), Jean Reno ("Leon: The Professional"), and Alfred Molina ("Spider-Man 2"). "The Da Vinci Code" is scheduled to hit theaters precisely one year from today: May 19th, 2006.
