Does anyone else think this sounds sort of like National Treasure

 

[Speedball]

yeah...it does...
Dan Brown is so screwed.
When this comes out, everyone will know where he got the idea from.

 

[Fran]

Ripoff

 

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

I'm still gonna read it.

Hey, national Treasure sucks

That wiki might be wrong and someone's made it look that way

 

[kytrigger]

how is it ripping off of National Treasure? Just because it may have teh Freemasons in it? That's like saying it's ripping of of The Skulls also because they might be in it too. So far that description has nothign about secret buried treasure but instead explore's their religous beliefs.

You could just as easily say that National Treasure "ripped off" of Dan Brown by skewing historical facts to helkp serve a fictional plot.

I looked at stuff and its set in the US, concerns the dollar bill and a few other similarities.

Look I'm not trying to bash it I actually wanna read it because I beleive something can be better than National Treasure

Hasn't Dan been talking/writing about this since before the first National Treasure came out?

Right, but all of those things have been in conspiracies for a longtime. I mean it's like the Spear of Destiny. That's been used in a number of movies and books, but tht doesn't meanthat everyone is rippin goff of the others (although I am sure some people are). As long as the main quest isn't the same, it should be totally different...hopefully

Like The Da Vinci Treasure is to The Da Vinci Code?

anyways

Wasn't that like a really bad movie rip-off of the DVC?

Actually, the bad movie ripoff to DVC was teh gay porn, The Da Vinci Load...

I'd be willing to bet that Langdon ends up with a female partner in his crazy escapades and that the villain is really a character related to the girl or langdon who seemed like a supporting character with nothing to do with the evil plot until it is revieled that he/she is actually the head of it. And the book will be filled with Langdon doing incredible physical acts because Brown likes to pretend he is Robert Langdon.

Hahaha you definitely have Brown's plotlines pinned. I still like to read his books anyways though lol.

 

[kytrigger]

Yeah, I find his books entertaining enough. I used to like Da Vinci code until it became popular and everyone kept trying to insist it was historically accurate, but that's not really Brown's fault.

 

[Gonking]

I'm Looking forward to read this book

 

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

I love The Da Vinci Code. I don't claim it's historically accurate: COZ IT'S FICTION!

\/ \/ \/ \/
like the bible OOH SNAP!

 

[ComicChick]

The title and the basic premise of the book has been well known for a while.

i've been waiting for it to come out.

 

[ComicChick]

if you figured out the stuff on the DVC book, you kinda had an idea where it was heading.

if you go with freemasons, there's a lot of symbology and stuff in D.C. that Brown loves to write about.
