Actor, Tom Hanks and director, Ron Howard are currently filming a prequel to “The Da Vinci Code” called “Angels and Demons”. However, while filming they have been banned from filming in two Roman Catholic churches.
“The Da Vinci Code” angered the Catholic Church when it was released and urged people not to see it or to read the book because it suggested Jesus married Mary Magdalene and raised a family with her. It also claimed the Holy Grail – which is believed to be the cup used by Jesus at the Last Supper – was in fact the bloodline of Jesus.
The movie’s crew have been granted permission to film the churches exteriors.
