"Da Vinci: Revisited"

When Director, Ron Howard approached Tom Hanks about the possibilities of a sequel to the film, "The Da Vinci Code" a few years ago, Hanks was a bit skeptical however, because Hanks has managed to navigate his career to stardom, and with success of past projects with Ron Howard, Hanks reconsidered and accepted this latest challenge. "Angels and Demons" arrives at a time that has put it at the epicenter of a whirlwind of controversey. Based loosely on the cryptic writings of the prophet, Nostradamus, this particular story examines the possibilites of the "final days" on earth scenario. A few years in the making, hours of completed footage were "red flagged" by the Vatican in Rome and production would have to resume in the United States in a mock setting. The backdrops, city streets and historic landmarks were reproduced in a small scale reproduction constructed by styrofoam. The Catholic Church has already labeled this movie as "nonsense" and has written off any possibilty that perhaps there's some sort of truth deep within. If Da Vinci's, "The Last Supper" gives us anything to think about, it suggests that Mary Magdalene was seated next to Christ and goes on to further give the idea that Jesus was secretly wed to the Saint and had a son at the time he was crucified. According to religious zealouts, Jesus Christ's bloodline still flows into a small group of family to this day! No one knows for sure about the truth and perhaps no one will ever know however, before the protests begin and folks take to the streets saying this is making a mockery of Christianity, let's not be so quick to jump to any conclusions. I have a feeling that we'll all learn the answers somewhere down the line. Besides, anything including Tom Hanks other than a "Turner and Hooch" sequel is welcome by me!
