I was just going round IGN, when I saw that Christopher Eccleston was cast as Silas in the film version of The Da Vinci Code.

I had no idea they were making this movie. Does anyone have any details about it. It said Tom Hanks was going to be in it, I am presuming as Robert Langdon but can someone give some details please?

Ron Howard is directing and I belive its due out next summer.

This is weird. I was telling my friends earlier about this book and I told them a movie was being made. I knew about Hanks, Eccleston is a good choice and I think Ron Howard is a really talented director.

Ron Howard is directing, nice, I enjoy his work. This is rather funny timing, I just finished Angels and Demons last night and was just thinking about a big screen adaptation.

I've just finishing the Da Vinci Code. There was a documentary about it on Britain's Chanel 4 back last year. They were discrediting some of what was said in the book, at least I think so only got a bit of it.

Agreed, I thought Angels & Demons`was the better book also. I would have liked to have seen a film version of that more too be honest. I hope just because they have gone straight for the sequel, that they don't overlook and A&D movie in the future.

I saw that also, it seemed to me they were discrediting what was said in the book. Tony Robinson even went as far to say that he thought it wasn't well written and seemed drag on in certain places.

The programme went into some detail to do it, I can't exactly what they said all I really saw was the guy talking about 'the Last Supper' fresco. He was talking about something else as well but I can't really remember.

Is any of the story fact?

I am not sure too be honest. At the beginning of the book, it says that the Priory of Sion did indeed exist, but in the documentry on Channle 4, they revealed it to be a hoax by someone.

They didn't really come to any conclusive facts, a lot of it was still left in the open.

The Storm

04-19-2005, 12:06 PM

Thanks for that, probably shouldn't have mentioned it with not knowing all about it lol. Its pretty elaborate story, I thought some of it was fact and Dan Brown built on that. I'm very impressed by the book I haven't been able to put it down, got high expectations for the movie as well.

I'm a fan of Ron Howard's work as well...and Tom Hanks is a good actor. However, I think he was miscast in this role. I just don't see him as Robert Langdon. I am glad that Jean Reno will play Bezu Fache. That's good casting.

The Storm

04-19-2005, 12:12 PM

Thats another good casting decision, I absolutely loved this guy in Leon. Any else been cast yet? I would look but my computer is total ass and would probably have a fit if I opened another window!

OtepApe

04-19-2005, 12:19 PM

Yeah, I gotta say I am not sold on the idea of Tom Hanks as Robert langdon. When I thought of langdon, someone like Tom Hanks didn't pop into my head. I think he'll need to hit the gym a bit. Hopefully my doubts will be sorted out.

Sony Pictures Entertainment has set Ian McKellen and Alfred Molina for roles in "The Da Vinci Code," the Ron Howard-directed adaptation of the Dan Brown bestseller.

Brian Grazer is producing with John Calley. Akiva Goldsman wrote the script.

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. Pic also stars Jean Reno.

Pic begins production in June for a May 19, 2006, release.

Well the book is a fiction, but I do belive Jesus did have a wife ore a mistress that may have been Mary and could have even had children. We will never know caue he has so much mystery around him and so many things written about him. To simply discredit it, would be plan naive imo.

If you want to get more accurate details from which the fictional Da Vinci code is based on, please read "The Holy Blood & The Holy Grail", as well as its follow-up "The Messianic Legacy", both authored by Henry Lincoln, Michael Baignent & Richard Leigh.

It's a fascinating read. :cool:

If it's widely debunked, it's only because people like Laura Miller & most other christians have a hard time accepting something other than what they've been told since birth.

Since Laura Miller is a columnist for the NY Times and Salon.com, I'd guess that she's not your average conservative Christian.

But yeah, I wouldn't just accept one person's claim of debunking either. I'm trying to find out more about these references:
Plantard's hoax was debunked by a series of (as yet untranslated) French books and a 1996 BBC documentary
Particularly the BBC documentary. If BBC America was on top of things they'd dig up that docu and get some Da Vinci Code-related ratings for themselves as well!

Timstuff

05-23-2005, 04:34 PM

The Da Vinci Code is a bunch of garbage based on a hoax. Jesus was never married and never had any sexual relations with anyone. He was God in human flesh, and for him to have relations of that sort with a Human would be even worse than when the Angels, according to the bible, took human wives and gave birth to the Nephilum race (who Goliath was one of). There is no historical evidence that Jesus had a wife, and what little there was has been shown as false. I enjoy historical fiction, but when it's based on some obscure conspiracy theory that we already know is un-true then I think it's absurd, and only serves to propogate one's personal opinion.

I've heard some stuff about Pierre Plantard's stuff being bogus a few years ago... I'd like to see more on that. He plays a major role in revealing the history of the Preurie de Sion.

Nonetheless, as far as a more detailed history of Jesus the MAN, both books take a great look at his life, as well as Barbara Theiring's "Jesus the Man", all of which have nothing to do with Plantard and/or his historical knowledge of this very secret society.

WHAT is the movie about?

dpm07

05-27-2005, 04:06 PM

This will easily be one of the biggest films of the year. Easily. The book is still in the Top 10, and the pre-quel Angels & Demons is also high on the charts. Dan Brown is a phenomenal writer. Whether you agree or disagree with his approach and controversial topical issues relating to the subject matter, it is still a hotly debated topic among Theologians and Historians regardless of denomination; i.e. Catholic, Protestant, or Orthodox.

This is going to be a great movie. If it's only as half as good as the book, it will still be exceptionally great.

Holy Blood, Holy Grail is a really great read as well. I'm Catholic, and I loved it. Sure, it does blow holes in certain viewpoints, but if you go in with an open mind, you'll see where the authors are coming from. I've actually taught Art History & Culture at the university level, and highly recommend it because of the symbology contained within. Most conservative fundamental christians that I have met have a hard time enjoying the writings versus the Catholics and Orthodox that I have talked to. Ironically, I got turned on to reading the book by a Catholic priest who loved it.

Dan Brown's next Robert Langdon novel is going to address the secret society of The Masons. Another great subject for the book. The book is going to be called The Solomon Key.

To tell you the truth, his being chosen for the role came out of left field for me as well. Still, it's Hanks and Ron Howard together. They'll do a good job.

News24.com (http://www.news24.com/News24/Entertainment/Abroad/0,,2-1225-1243_1729988,00.html) reports that Columbia Pictures started filming The Da Vinci Code (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=7413) yesterday. The anticipated adaptation of the Dan Brown novel, directed by Ron Howard, stars Tom Hanks, Jean Reno, Audrey Tautou, Ian McKellen, Alfred Molina and Paul Bettany. The site says:

Filming began late on Wednesday at the Ritz hotel in central Paris, according to Le Parisien newspaper.

It was to continue all night on Thursday at the nearby famous Louvre, where the Mona Lisa is kept, for the novel's opening scene in which the museum's fatally wounded director leaves a cryptic message for Langdon.

Hanks, Howard and their team will also be taking the camera to Britain for several location shoots, although officials there have refused to make Westminster Abbey available to recreate an important scene because the book's premise was considered theologically unsound.

The studio is planning a May 19, 2006 release date for the thriller.

Exclusive Da Vinci Code Set Report

Source: Larryfilm
July 1, 2005

While art curators have found (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20050701/ts_nm/arts_davinci_dc) a new Leonardo Da Vinci drawing hidden beneath the surface of one of the Renaissance artist's most celebrated works, The Virgin of the Rocks, filming on the big screen (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=10227#) adaptation of Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=7413). Scooper 'Larryfilm' was on-hand to get a first look at what director Ron Howard is doing.

Wednesday June 29 2005 was the 1st official shooting day for DVC at Paris' exclusive, upscale Place Vendome. I was there by accident with some friends around 9:00PM. We bumped into a pretty big film (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=10227#) crew that was prepping the first shot. Before the very imposing security detail and Paris PD evacuated the square around 10:00pm, we were able to appreciate the scope of the production.

First of all, for those of you not familiar with Paris, Place Vendome is a pretty large, very elegant square surrounded by exclusive 19th century 6-story limestone "palaces", including world famous (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=10227#) Ritz Hotel. The square itself is pretty much void of cars and pavement is in small cobblestone, adding a feeling of "chic" and magnificence to it, so typical of the City of Light.

There were no less than 80 to 100 crew members and they had 3 latest model (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=10227#) Panavision cams ("A", "B" and "C" cams with their own 8-people dedicated crew) with LCD secondary viewfinder to help the focus puller check at all time the frame's accuracy (focus, lighting, etc.). A major remote controlled crane (60-ft long) was sitting on tracks perpendicular to the Ritz Hotel Main entrance. That area being already cordoned off and shielded by an impressive security detail, we decided to wait as much as we could across the square, where I could briefly talked to P.As (Production Assistants). All of them had some kind of Clearance Badge that was sporting the new DVC logo/initials (the one from the poster) and a color code depending on which restriction access level there were. Two of those guys has the time to tell me that after shooting all night on Place Vendome, the crew would move to the Louvre this Thursday night (6/30) for a long 2-week shoot, before security arrived and literally kicked us out. Said P.As told us that next week they would shoot as well around St Sulpice (but no specific date yet) and that in the near future (thanks for being that specific!) producers will request "car driving extras" for Robert Langdon faked escape from the Louvre, when dozen of Paris PD cars are chasing the big truck on which RL allegedly jumped and hid. I'll go rent a car right away!!

Anyway, while we were pushed outside the perimeter, thus unable to see anything, they started lighting heavily the square (very impressive) and we caught a glimpse of director Ron Howard's Mercedes 500 SL limo which stopped 10 yards from us: he just walked to the set and with the casual way he was dressed (a worn cap, t-shirt, jeans, sneakers), who would think this was one of the world most famous and respected directors?

BTW, we couldn't see any member of the cast who where brought on set by a small motorcade of black Mercedes minivans whith heavily tinted windows. Bummer! We'll try to go to the Louvre tonight (where there are setting up 13 Motion Picture Power generators and prepping a very large parking area to accomodate the 40-truck transportation department + a huge tent for catering/craft service that one P.A. told me can accomodate 150+ crew/cast member at the same time).

I'll come back later in the week to add more on site news. BTW, for those of you wondering, pics and video (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=10227#) filming where banned, evene with cellphones (security was everywhere, but unable to prevent me to grab precious insider info from P.As!), thus I did not have a chance to even take one or two pics.

'Larryfilm' sent a follow-up report as well:

Yesterday, Thursday June 30, the DVC cast and crew was filming street scenes on Paris upscale Rue de Rivoli in the French capital 1st District (1er arrondissement), right along the Louvre Museum. We were on set (well, actually "by" the set for the production security detail made sure that passersby would not stop and go on with their walking) around 11:00pm, and we could see one huge crane with several HMI flood literally "sun lighting" the street.

As we found a "safe" spot at a street corner were security and PAs where too busy to tell us to keep moving on, Paris PD TCM (Police Dept Traffic Control Management) just stopped traffic in front of us. Then a huge filming truck with 10-crew members and director Ron Howard on board and additional Keno-flo (= neon soft lighting) came in from a perpendicular street, with two "A" and "B" Panavision 35 mm cams on it, and the cast car (the super mini-sized "Smart") attached to it thanks to a low bed that gives the feeling that the car is actually being driven by the actors. Behind the Smart car were several crew and extras cars, creating a fake, messy traffic jam.

Anyway, we were no more than 10 yards from the actual shooting and could clearly see Audrey Tautou/Sophie Neveu driving and obviously having an animated conversation with a slim and tanned (yes, tanned !) Tom Hanks/Robert Langdon. They reshot the scene several times. Very nice to have a close up of the actors yet the scene itself was not particularly interesting for we could not hear the dialogues...

Tonight (Friday 1st of July), additional scenes will be shot around the Louvre, including Robert Langdon's arrival to the crime scene (well the driving part at least).

New Da Vinci Code Set Report & Pics!

Source: Larryfilm
July 2, 2005

Scooper 'Larryfilm' has sent us another report and the first pictures from the set of director Ron Howard's The Da Vinci Code (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=7413), which give you a first look at Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon:

Following my two previous exclusive scoops, here are some pics that fellow "scooper" marcelo_56 hinted me on. They show Tom Hanks' brand new look (long hair, tanned skinned and trendy clothings) as well as Ron Howard waiting while a shot is being prepped on June 30.

On the other hand, yesterday night (Friday July 1st), I returned to DVC's set at the Louvre with a camera to try to grab some shots... to no avail! I even wanted to take some pics of the huge parking lot East of the Louvre (10 big black electric dept. trucks, 10 grip trucks, 5 make-up trucks and 10 huge "star waggon" style cast trailers), but, once again, heavy security and even Paris PD were preventing anybody to take pics (there is also a big 8-foot metallic fence surrounding the production camp, occulted with white yet opaque fabric).

However, I had the chance to see the filming of Robert Langdon escape with Sophie Neveu in the tiny silver Smart car, exiting the "Guichets du Louvre" (one again lit by three huge crane-mounted flood HMIs) at high speed, nearly avoiding (fake) traffic and speeding into the Rue de Rivoli. After the first shot, I was "shocked" when the "principal car" returned to set... right in font of me (no more than 10 feet away) and I could clearly see Audrey Tautou and Tom Hanks, for they were lit from under by neon style light. That shot got wrapped around Midnight and moved to 1st and 2nd unit "chase" shots where police looks for the couple. But the street was being evacuated so no more sightseeing.

Oh, BTW, while leaving the area, I literally bumped into Tom Hanks limo returning to prod camp, a last model black Range Rover with tinted windows and Great Britain license plates and Rita Wilson in the front with Tom Hanks leaning forward from the back seat and talking to her. Very nice closeup.

Another set report from Comingsoon.net, with another picture!

I went to visit the Louvre on July 1st knowing I might come across some crew and stuff from the movie.

Around 9pm (I was still in the museum) some security groups (blue coats) surrounded the Pyramid area (about 30 men). I heard museum guards saying the movie will shoot around 10pm. (the museum closes at 9:45).

The blue guards were apparently there to prevent people which exited the museum going in the park in front of the pyramid.

I went on purpose where the blue coats were and I got exited by the road.

There I saw big lights being installed. 2 HUGE lights (which were installed 30 or 40 feet in the air) clearly lighting up Rue de Rivoli and one of the entries of the museum. (the one I exited the Louvre from).

I went to get diner in some Rue de Rivoli restaurants and from there I could see some of what was happening. It was around 9h45 - 10.

The crew blocked Rue de Rivoli every 15 minutes or saw for 5 minutes to shoot what they had to shoot.

-The Smart car entering the Louvre-

I was able to see the Smart car with all the equipment on it entering in the louvre. A camera on a "louma" was fixed on rivoli's sideways.

Of course when I left the restaurant I took Rue de Rivoli but, like it has already been said, the security system is huge. The crew told us to keep going and every person got ejected from rivoli's sidewalk. From there we couldn't see much so I left at about 11:40pm.

Later, we were sent a picture of the Smart car that was driven by Tautou, who plays Sophie Neveu, taken by 'potter2004'. She's apparently having an animated conversation with Tom Hanks (Robert Langdon).

Good thing I looked in here 'cause I've been meaning to read the D.C., I'm never one to just jump on the band wagon but, after all this time of hearing about it I was just going to check it out.

The Da Vinci Code to Film at Rosslyn Chapel

Source: BBC News (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/4716365.stm)
July 26, 2005

BBC News (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/4716365.stm) reports that director Ron Howard will film (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=10544#) The Da Vinci Code (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=7413) at Rosslyn Chapel near Edinburgh in September:

The 15th century chapel saw a surge in visitors after the book's plot suggested it was built to house the secret of the Holy Grail.

Trustees spokesman Stuart Beattie said: "The chapel has long been a popular destination for hundreds of years.

"There are many stories in Rosslyn's long history and I'm sure the chapel will make a superb backdrop for this particular one."

A spokesman for Rose Line Productions described Rosslyn as a "magnificent" building which would enhance the quality of the film.

The chapel will close for the filming between 26 and 29 September.

The May 19, 2006 release, based on the Dan Brown novel, stars Tom Hanks (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=10544#), Jean Reno, Audrey Tautou, Ian McKellen (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=10544#), Alfred Molina and Paul Bettany.

IGN has reported some trouble on the set of the film. It contains spoilers so if you do not wish to know anything, please don't read.

August 17, 2005 - The BBC has the latest rundown on the continuing controversy over Dan Brown's bestseller The Da Vinci Code and the Sony Pictures' screen adaptation currently being filmed under the direction of Ron Howard with Tom Hanks starring.

First, please be aware that there really is no way to discuss the controversy over Da Vinci without revealing SPOILERS. If you don't want to know them then stop reading.

Still here? Onward then ...

A Roman Catholic nun, Sister Mary Michael, has been protesting the film while it shoots at England's Lincoln Cathedral, which doubles as Westminster Abbey since the production's request to film there was denied. Sister Mary Michael is not alone in her belief that Brown's book is blasphemous because it claims Jesus and Mary Magdalene had a child together and that Jesus' bloodline survives to this day.

Hanks and the crew are reported to have witnessed Sister Mary Michael's protest. "It matters to me what God thinks, not what the film crew think," she informed the BBC. "When I face almighty God at my final judgement, as we all will, I can say I did try my best. I did try my best to protest."

Da Vinci Code cast member Sir Ian McKellen, who protrays the villainous Sir Leigh Teabing, has addressed the controversy in a posting at his official site. "As an atheist I am indifferent [to the book's claims and the charges of heresy against it]," said McKellen. "As a reader I couldn't stop turning the pages of Dan Brown's book."

In a posting last month as part of his Teabing's Chronicle, McKellen recalled filming scenes at the French location serving as Teabing's home, Château de Villette:

"Teabing has been handicapped by polio and I want to see what stairs I will have to negotiate tomorrow with my sticks and caliper. It is my entrance into the film. Good to be filming it first. Most of the interiors of the Château will be filmed later in the controlled conditions of Shepperton studios." For more of what McKellen had to say, click here.

It's such a controversy because the book makes an accusation that the Catholic church engineered a massive cover-up of a little-known fact of Biblical history. It's written in a way that makes it seem like the Catholics are the bad guys, so expect a gargantuan backlash from the Vatican.

Anybody know when The Da Vinci Code will be released in paperback? I don't feel like giving Brown $17 and using up some of my shelf space.

I also wish they would have done Angels & Demons first. The Science vs. Religion argument is a more potent debate today where as Jesus fathering a child is a subject people could care less about because it isn't true.

Oh well, maybe they'll pull the same thing with these books with Langdon like they with Tom Clancy's novels and Jack Ryan. They had three (I believe) different actors play the same character and the adaptations didn't come out in chronological order. Maybe we'll get an Angels & Demons movie one day.

I agree, I too think Angels & Demons was the far better book. The Da Vinci Code gets more recognition as it had a lot of controversy on being published. Angels & Demons is the better book, it has the better story and certainly raises more important questions.

Also, the book is already released in paperback form, that's the copy I own.

Is that right? is that the general gist of it?

Harvard professor Robert Langdon recieves an urgent late night phone call while on business in Paris. The elderly curator of the Louvre has been brutally murdered inside the museum. Alongside the body, police have found a series of baffling codes. As Langdon and gifted French cryptologist, Sophie Neveu, begin to sort through the bizzare riddles, they are stunned to find a trail that leads to the works of Leonardo Da Vinci-and suggest the answer to a mystery that streches deep into the vaults of history.

Unless Langond and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine code and quickly assemble the pieces of the puzzle, a stunning historical truth will be lost forever...

__________________________________________________ _______________

I am not religious in any way. I wouldn't go so far to say I am an athiest but I do question most things that have been printed in the Bible and have been told to us throughout the years.

The Da Vinci Code is relativly harmless. It merely takes a 'What If' approach to the story of Jesus. It's nothing to be taken seriously. And the fact that the Vatican are so pissed about and make their anger known worldwide, does nothing more then help this bok reach more hands. The can be said for the movie when it is eventually released.

Although, I have watched some documentries on the subject, and some people (including Priests), suggest that some of the claims made in the book are not as far fetched as some would have us believe.

You couldn't turn on the TV without seeing a Jewish Rabbi or a non-christian Christian bashing the flick before it even came out. I guess people realized when you give a movie that much free press then people get REALLY interested, which, inturn, becomes massive profits.

Which is interesting, because I'm a Protestant Christian as well and I'm not threatened by Harry Potter at all.

Anyway...I don't understand why a lot of people get so pissed off about this book..

Okay, scratch that, I DO understand, but at the same time, a.) It's a work of fiction, so people who get in a huff or allow it to change the way they look at life are just wasting their time. b.) If Jesus married and had a kid, from a Biblical standpoint, that's not a sin. I don't personally believed he was married, but if he was then he was in the clear, because the Bible is very clear on things like marriage and the like.

As for the temple thing...yeah, he trashed the market in the temple, and he was pissed, but anger in itself isn't a sin, it all depends on what you do in your anger. Jesus got all of the people defacing the temple out of there by throwing tables around...not sure if throwing a table is a sin, but I'm pretty sure he didn't injure anyone. ;)

You couldn't turn on the TV without seeing a Jewish Rabbi or a non-christian Christian bashing the flick before it even came out.

2K Creating The Da Vinci Code Game

Source: 2K Games
November 2, 2005

2K Games, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc., announced today an exclusive worldwide agreement with Sony Pictures Consumer Products to publish and distribute current generation console video games based on the highly-anticipated The Da Vinci Code (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=7413) film by Oscar winning director Ron Howard, which is based on Dan Brown's best-selling novel.

The games are being developed by The Collective, a division of Foundation 9 Entertainment and a top developer of action titles. Timed to coincide with the film release date, "The Da Vinci Code" games are expected to be available in May 2006. "We are thrilled to work with Sony Pictures on one of its most anticipated film properties," said Christoph Hartmann, Managing Director at 2K Games. "'The Da Vinci Code' is exactly the type of high-caliber licensed property 2K Games looks for when developing movie-based games."

Charles Cecil, designer of the critically acclaimed title "Broken Sword," has joined the development team at The Collective to aid in the game's design. Revolving around secret societies, ancient cover-ups and calculated vengeance, the gameplay in "The Da Vinci Code" will feature action-oriented suspense for seasoned gamers and "The Da Vinci Code" fans alike.

Dan Brown's critically-acclaimed book "The Da Vinci Code" is the best-selling novel of all time and has spent more than two years on the New York Times best-seller list. It has also been translated into 42 languages. To date, there are more than 38.6 million copies of the novel in print, averaging more than two million copies sold each month.

One of the most anticipated films of next year is no doubt Ron Howard's adaptation of Dan Brown's mega bestseller THE DA VINCI CODE. As you may recall, the film stars Tom Hanks as Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon, who teams up with French cryptographer Sophie Neveu (Audrey Tautou) in an effort to unravel a mysterious puzzle hidden in Da Vinci's paintings which could dismantle the Catholic Church. There was a teaser released earlier this year, which wasn't too exciting considering it was released about a month before filming even started. Principal photography on the film is over (or at least it should be), though, and we can confirm, thanks to our man Alex, who kicks ass updating the trailer page, that the first full trailer for DA VINCI will be attached to KING KONG. Not that you needed any other reason to watch Peter Jackson's interpretation of the giant ape but if you did, well, there you go. Hanks tries to crack the code May 19th.

I have one question to the devotees of the Da Vinci Code. If what Brown asserts is true, and Jesus is not the Son of God, and he did not die but married Mary and had kids, DOES IT MATTER if anyone is of his blood line if he was not divine?

Holy Blood, Holy Grail, with out the word Holy you have common, everyday blood and grail, its a bloody cup folks. Then it doesn't matter if Leonardo was a descendent of Jesus or of Judas for that matter. And it certainly doesn't matter if Sophie is.

Something I really can't understand about the book (which I haven't read) is, how is Mary Magdalene supposed to be the Holy Grail? And when people refer to "searching for the holy grail" in context to her, does that mean they are searching for her remains? Personally, I believe that the holy grail is nothing more than a fairy tale, cup or otherwise (from a religious aspect it makes no sense, because the bible makes no refference of it). But I was hoping that maybe someone could clear this up for me. (if I had time to read the DaVinci Code, there's alot of other stuff I'd read first)

Hans Zimmer to Score The Da Vinci Code

Source: Columbia Pictures
January 16, 2006

<DIV id=intelliTxt><FONT face=arial color=#000000 size=2>Oscar®-winner Hans Zimmer will compose the score to Ron Howard's (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=12722#) film (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=12722#) adaptation of Dan Brown's best-selling novel, The Da Vinci Code (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=7413). This highly-anticipated film from Columbia Pictures and Imagine Entertainment stars Tom Hanks (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=12722#), Audrey Tautou, Sir Ian McKellen, Alfred Molina, Paul Bettany and Jean Reno, and is set for release on May 19, 2006.

From director Ron Howard, producer Brian Grazer and screenwriter Akiva Goldsman, the Oscar®-winning team of A Beautiful Mind (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=12722#), and producer John Calley (the Oscar®-nominated The Remains of the Day), comes the film version of Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=7413), one of the most popular and talked about novels of our time.

The Da Vinci Code (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=7413) begins with a spectacular murder in the Louvre Museum. All clues point to a covert religious organization that will stop at nothing to protect a secret that threatens to overturn 2,000 years of accepted dogma.

One of Hollywood's most respected composers, Zimmer has the distinction of having scored more than 100 films during his illustrious career. In 1994, he won the Academy Award® for Best Original Score for the animated feature The Lion King, and has also been nominated for his work on six other films: Gladiator, The Prince of Egypt, The Thin Red Line, As Good As It Gets, The Preacher's Wife and Rain Man. Other career highlights include The Last Samurai (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=12722#), Black Hawk Down, Thelma & Louise and Best Picture winner Driving Miss Daisy. Additionally, he is also the winner of three Grammy Awards, a Tony Award, and countless other accolades for his musical achievements.

The Da Vinci Code (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=7413) marks the second collaboration between Zimmer and director Ron Howard. They previously joined forces on Backdraft. The Da Vinci Code (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=7413) recently completed filming in France, Scotland and England. Zimmer, having visited the European sets on several occasions, is at work constructing his musical approach to the film.

Zimmer started his career playing keyboards and synthesizers in the band The Buggles, famed for the song "Video Killed the Radio Star." He also served as an apprentice to composer and mentor Stanley Myers. His first film was My Beautiful Laundrette, but his breakthrough as film composer came in 1988 with Barry Levinson's Rain Man, for which he received his first Oscar® nomination. Since that time, his use of electronic music in combination with orchestral and choral arrangements have made him an innovative cinematic force, and its influence on the art form is prevalent not only in his works but also the works of his contemporaries today.

His work spans a variety of time periods and genres, yet Zimmer is equally comfortable scoring the animated feature Shark Tale and the historical epic The Last Samurai. In 2005, Zimmer continued to make film history by scoring the acclaimed summer blockbuster Batman Begins in collaboration with composer James Newton Howard, the first pairing of its kind since 1954 when Bernard Herrmann and Alfred Newman collaborated on <B>The Egyptian

Call for Da Vinci 'adult rating'

Catholic group Opus Dei has called for the film version of The Da Vinci Code novel to be given an adult rating.
The organisation says children should be protected from what it calls "insidious" lies about Catholicism.

Spokesman Marc Carroggio said: "Any adult can distinguish reality from fiction. But you cannot expect a child to make proper judgements."

The group has aroused controversy in the past, with critics calling it secretive and ultra-conservative.

The film, based on Dan Brown's best-seller, stars Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou.

Its conspiracy theories and thriller style, in which two code-breakers try to track down the truth behind the Holy Grail, have caught the imaginations of millions.

Disclaimer

Directed by Ron Howard, the film is due for release in May.

Mr Carroggio added: "Merely adding a disclaimer that says 'fiction' is not enough."

"Although the story is absurd and at times somewhat humorous, it produces a hateful image of the institution and it is well known that hateful images like this produce feelings of hatred in those who lack a critical sense."

But he said Opus Dei would make "no declaration of war" against the film, adding he did not believe the film would have a negative impact on the organisation - believing it would be a "sort of indirect publicity for us".

"No one is going to make threats or organise boycotts," he told Catholic news agency Zenit.

Da Vinci opens Cannes Jan. 23, 2006

Source: Variety by: Mike Sampson

It's expected to be one of the biggest films of 2006 so it should come as no surprise that it will open one of the biggest film festivals. Yup, THE DA VINCI CODE will open up the 2006 Cannes Film Festival on May 17th. The film will screen "Out of Competition" two days before the festival opens but you can expect a promotional push of gigantic proportions. This will be Ron Howard's fourth trip to Cannes after previously showing up for WILLOW, FAR AND AWAY and, ahem, ED TV. Yes. ED TV. So far not much else is known about Cannes '06 but I'm sure it'll be glitzy and glamorous no matter what it is. And if you've been reading the site for a few years, you know our own JoBlo has been kicking ass with his Cannes coverage so here's hoping his health will allow a repeat trip this year. DA VINCI will hit theaters two days after its Cannes premiere on May 19th worldwide.

I just finished reading THE DA VINCI CODE last night. It has an interesting premise, if nothing else, and it sheds some new light on the quest for the Holy Grail and opens up some interesting possibilities.

I am not terribly impressed with Dan Brown's writing style, and never have been. (I have also read ANGELS AND DEMONS and DECEPTION POINT). I don't think it's tripe, because he creates solid characters, and he does "twist" fairly well, and he does provide some interesting information in his writing that isn't just technical (though it's not always a hundred percent accurate). He's also a slave to his own writing style. His style consists of "Should I reveal what's going to happen now? HELL NO, let's string it out for another three chapters!"

If you follow the story of the book then it's quite anti-religious. Religion is just the back bone of the story.

THE DA VINCI CODE is not anti-religion. In fact, it is strongly religious, with several devout characters, including, as we see in the end of the film, Robert Langdon himself. Yes, the book raises questions about what religion is, and how much something HAS to be true for it to inspire people, and what people value. The book, in the end, lets you make your own decisions about the situations involved. And it is a work of fiction. Which apparently people cannot get over.

The casting is nigh perfect, I think, after reading the book. If nothing else, we're in for some fantastic performances. Personally I think the controversy has been blown out of proportion.

An ancient secret brotherhood.
A devastating new weapon of destruction.
An unthinkable target.

World-renowned Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned to a Swiss research facility to analyze a cryptic symbol seared into the chest of a murdered physicist. What he discovers is unimaginable: a deadly vendetta against the Catholic Church by a centuries-old underground organization — the Illuminati. Desperate to save the Vatican from a powerful time bomb, Langdon joins forces in Rome with the beautiful and mysterious scientist Vittoria Vetra. Together they embark on a frantic hunt through sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs, deserted cathedrals, and the most secretive vault on earth...the long-forgotten Illuminati lair.

I just got done finishing the book. What in god's name is up with this casting... "Ian McKellen .... Sir Leigh Teabing " ? Isn't Leigh Teabing suppose to be fat and short? I also got the feeling he was Langdon's age, that could of been my fault assuming that but none the less a fat McKellen could be scary :( This casting choice is awesome "Jean Reno .... Bezu Fache". The book is okay, I liked it but it's really over-rated. It feels like it's made to be a movie because there quite a bit of fat there that can be shed away, and perhaps the actors can add a little more dept to the characters. But none the less I'm looking forward to this movie.

I just saw the trailer and I'm intrigued. The book was great (and I agree Angels and Demons was better) and the movie has one heck of a cast signed up. This movie just got bumped up a few notches on my "cannot wait-o-meter".

I liked it better the The Davinci Code. It's a good read, check it out.

Im reading Da vince code right now. I dont really like reading story books but it seems pretty cool, although the narration is nothing like the AMAZING clockwork orange which i just finished tonight.

Wow. That trailer took over my computer and sucked me in. Crazy. It looks awesome, however I do have one problem that might be a minor spoiler to anyone who hasn't finished the first full chapter...

It seems to imply the French cop guy asking Langdon for his help at a book signing rather than confronting him at his hotel. What's up with that?

Oh, and big big big spoiler...

The part where Teabing dives for the little... can't think of the word, the thing with the scroll inside... that absolutely had me on the edge of my seat. I remembered it so well. Though I'd always seen it from a different angle

Oh yeah, and only those who have read the book will get this...

DA Vinci Code.

Brilliant.

Trailer looks awesome.

I think DVC will make $309m domesticly and about $474m in overseas.

I hope so.

I wonder what the moviegoers who never read the book will think of this movie.

I never read the book though, which makes it all the better.

I stayed up until 3:30 last night just to finish this book (and considering I had to be awake by 6, well...

But damn, was it worth it! For anyone who hasn't read it, please do... you won't be disappointed. Even if you don't agree with some of the contraversial aspects of it, it's still a great story with great characters and the best pacing I think I've ever seen in a novel. Should make a great movie... as far as I can tell, the casting is flawless. I can easily see all of these actors in each of their parts.

^Yep, but too bad I started reading the book around 12 AM. My mind wasn't functioning well. :p

I finished Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in four hours and I can't finish The Da Vinci Code quick enough? Bleh. :o:p
