Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Movie director Ron Howard is being advised to tread carefully when filming the movie adaptation of novel The Da Vinci Code this year, by not permitting albino stereotypes. The National Organization For Albinism And Hypopigmentation (NOAH) has asked film bosses to make sure the upcoming movie doesn't portray its albino character as a red-eyed psychopath. NOAH president Mike McGowan says, "One huge problem with (author Dan Brown's book) The Da Vinci Code is how (the character of) Silas is described with red eyes. That's a myth. Most often in people with albinism the eyes are light blue or even hazel. Ron Howard can make a big difference for people with albinism by continuing the trend away from a hack device if they adjust the Silas character to not be an evil albino. Over the years the stereotyping and misinformation foisted on the albinism community by film-makers does real harm to real people." Tom Hanks has signed up to star in The Da Vinci Code, which is slated for a mid-2006 release.
I do understand that people rarely write albinos that don't kill, but what are they asking him to do? Make him not evil, or not an albino?

Perhaps they should make everyone else albino too -- that way, he'll just be evil.
Also, Michelle Trachtenberg is cute. That movie looks like fun. (And Joan Cusack plays her mom!)

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Somehow, she doesn't seem pointy enough.
Could anybody?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Good point, but her hair seems too flat, as well. I have a feeling I won't be pleased with this movie, as much as i'd like to be.
There's a link to a picture of Summer Glau in there. Holy shit, she's damn pretty.

And to : this , which is both hugely exciting and the best teaser tagline ever.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm still nursing a huge grudge against the Wachowski Brothers. I'll have to wait for the movie to open and the reviews to come in before I get excited about it.

Yeah, leading off with the world "trilogy" makes me look askance.
