Variety brings news of two new additions to Ron Howard‘s upcoming "The Da Vinci Code." Already on board were Tom Hanks, Jean Reno, and Audrey Tautou, but those crafty casting directors were just getting started. Seems that both Sir Ian McKellen ("X-Men") and Alfred Molina ("Spider-Man 2") have recently signed on for a pair of supporting roles.Based on the wildly popular novel by Dan Brown (and adapted for the big screen by Akiva Goldsman), "The Da Vinci Code" focuses on a modern-day search for the Holy Grail.
