Ian McKellen (X2) and Alfred Molina (Spider-Man 2) will star in The Da Vinci Code, Ron Howard's upcoming film adaptation of the Dan Brown best-seller, Variety reported. Akiva Goldsman wrote the script, and Brian Grazer is producing with John Calley for Sony.

Molina will play zealous Bishop Arigarosa, who's keenly interested in the sleuthing activities of Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) and cryptographer Sophie Neveu (Audrey Tautou). McKellen will play Sir Teabing, a wealthy man who acts as a resource for Langdon even as he shows his own ambitions to uncover the Holy Grail. Jean Reno also stars, the trade paper reported.

The Da Vinci Code begins production in June for a May 19, 2006, release.
