The Quest for Tom Hanks
Filed under: Drama, New Releases, Fandom, Newsstand
Quite understandably, the arrival of the massive The Da Vinci Code
film crew in tiny Roslin, Scotland has sent the town into something of
a frenzy. Since the most famous creature previously in residence was
Dolly the Sheep, autograph hunters, star-watchers, and bored kids are
going wild with excitement, and the set is constantly surrounded by
on-lookers. (Though since they're looking-on at nothing but security,
the description might in fact be a little generous.) Nick Thorpe of the London Times spent a few days with the frenzied fans, and his article (linked below) is a great, non-judgemental look at both the insanity of fandom and the outrageousness of Hollywood. I don't want to spoil it entirely for you, but here's a tidbit: some of the fans end up in Ron Howard's movie! Now, aren't you sorry you didn't go?
