After completing his duties starring in the remake of THE PINK PANTHER, French film star Jean Reno will move on to play Detective Bezu Fache in greatly anticipated THE DA VINCI CODE movie. Tom Hanks has already been cast as symbologist Robert Langdon, the man that discovers hidden clues in the works of the legendary European genius that hint to a great secret the Church doesn't want revealed.

Reno is as well known to American audiences as he is to French film lovers. He's had major parts in GODZILLA, the first MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE film and RONIN.

Ron Howard will direct THE DA VINCI CODE, with filming slated to begin later this year for a May 19, 2006 release.
