Angels & Demons - a Dan Brown Movie Banned by Vatican
June 17th, 2008
The production on Angels & Demons, the latest thriller by Dan Brown and a sequel that’s actually a prequel to The Da Vinci Code only started on June 5th, 2008 and Vatican has had itself heard and banned the movie. The filmmakers of Angels & Demons requested to have some of crucial sequences filmed directly in Vatican’s the churches of Santa Maria della Vittoria and Santa Maria del Popolo but their long awaited request was turned down and the movie forbidden. What’s pope afraid of?
Variety says that the reason for banning Angels & Demons is that the “sequel is incompatible with religious sentiment”.
Just as it was with the Da Vinci Code, Angels & Demons is directed by Ron Howard and stars Tom Hanks. Dan Brown published Angels & Demons before The Da Vinci Code and while the Code suggests that Mary Magdalena and Jesus Christ were married and had children, Angels & Demons focuses on The Illuminati - sinister elite of the world and their effort to take over Vatican.
