Casting: Brad Pitt is too old. Sorry, sir; you have the acting chops and the beauty to play Luca, but Luca looks like he's 28 or so for over a hundred years, and you've matured past that. To your credit. My daughters, who have an opinion about everything, mention Hayden Christensen. I don't know him as an actor. Ryan Phillipe maybe? Someone with the reach to play Luca's humility as well as his dogged persistence in seeking love and questioning God.
How about it? Any readers out there with opinions? Who plays Luca, Giotto, Silvano, Maddalena, Caterina, the young Leonardo, Lorenzo de Medici?
