The Da Vinci Coed

In my more mundane musing I thought that perhaps some mogul may have missed an opportunity to spice up the movie by replacing Tom Hanks with a hot female lead. Then the movie could have been entitled "The Da Vinci Coed."

As it so happens Ross King had a similar thought. His review of the novel Labyrinth by Kate Mosse for the Washington Post is entitled, The Da Vinci Coed. King described the book as;

". . . a "women's" adventure story because, presumably, it showcases a strong female cast or, rather, a cast of strong females: two heroines, separated by 800 years, who find themselves pitted against a pair of glamorous, green-eyed female villains. As for the adventure bit, Mosse clearly warmed to her task, packing the novel with swordfights, sieges and massacres. At its heart is a hunt for the Holy Grail across the ruggedly beautiful Cathar country of southwest France."

It's not quite what I had in mind for a movie, but it might work.
