ANGELS & DEMONS
From the author of The DaVinci Code

Let angels guide you!

I suppose the makers of Angels and Demons aren’t catholic, I suppose the Catholic Church would have excommunicated them for heresy otherwise…
:-|

The Catholic hierarchy does not really stand Dan Brown’s work and is quite pissed off by Director Ron Howard’s movie adaptation. Ron Howard can but be glad: that’s free promotion for his new movie Angels and Demons starring Tom Hanks. But he tries to play down the controversy, fearing that rank-and-file Catholic believers would start to listen to their narrow-minded priest:

“I believe Angels & Demons treats the Church with respect — even a degree of reverence — for its traditions and beliefs.”

Director Ron Howard

Not sure he’s sincere but I don’t give a dam (my grandmother do though, and will boycott Angels and Demons…): I just know that Angels and Demons looks like an entertaining movie!

Here below some new preview clips of Angels and Demons:

Angels and Demons Trailer

Santa Maria Della
Inspector Olivetti (Pierfrancesco Favino) arrive to find a fire inside the church.

We must defend ourselves.
Camerlengo (Ewan McGregor) pleads with the Cardinals to go public.

One Way Portal
Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) and Vittoria Vetra (Ayelet Zurer) rush to deliver a warning.

Breaking Out
Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) and Chartrand (Thure Lindhardt) are locked in an air-tight vault.

Regular movie audiences will probably enjoy the movie Angels and Demons, but I can understand that over-sensitive believers may frown upon Ron Howard’s movie.
;-P

The DaVinci Code was controversial, so much that it drove crowds to theaters. Angels and Demons, the sequel to the DaVinci Codel, does not generate as much buzz though. Well, a few well-designed poster could stir things up. And it looks like that’s the strategy in France, where new posters of Angels and Demons is insunating that the Holy See is hiding strange secrets…

What is the Vatican hiding?

The two posters above were to be displayed on buses in Paris but it seems that the bus company is refusing those fearing a backlash from Catholic groups. Bad buzz good buzz!

Two more international posters of Angels and Demons, they’re quite bland so eyebrows are unlikely to raise here:

Angels and Demons will be released on May 15, 2009.

Three new clips of Angels and Demons are available:

:)

“Robert Langdon is summoned by CERN (a European science Institute based in Geneva, Swiss) to investigate a murder victim, branded with the Illuminati ambigram, leading him to discover the cult’s scheme to murder four cardinals and destroy St. Peter’s Basilica during a papal conclave using antimatter.”

I don’t give a dam about the Oscars. But I found a compelling reason for talking about it: at the end of the show a montage of footage from various upcoming movies was aired! Thanks to Firstshowing we may enjoy below the end credits of the Oscars:

What movies from this list are you waiting for and why?

Director Ron Howard has been working on Angels and Demons the movie adaptation of the book of the same name written by Dan Brown. The book was actually a prequel to the Da Vinci Code, but it looks like they modified the time line according to this full length movie trailer of Angel and Demons:

Angels and Demons Movie Trailer

This Angels and Demons trailer is indeed stating that Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) already exposed the Da Vinci cover up. So this Angels and Demons movie is in fact the sequel of the Da Vinci Code. This timeline tweak does not bother me that much, but I think dubious that the Vatican authorities would call Robert Langdon for help if he had broken his revelations about Christ already…

Anyway, Angels and Demons still looks appealing but must say that Tom Hanks’ performance accounts for a lot for this!
:)

A new Angels and Demons featurette is available, The clip is about the Illuminati:

Angels and Demons Illuminati

In Angels and Demons Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon tries to stop what seems to be the Illuminati, a legendary secret society, from destroying the Vatican City with the newly-discovered power of antimatter.

In the movie Angels and Demons, upcoming prequel to the Da Vinci Code, Professor Langdon (Tom Hanks) has to face a mysterious order called the Illuminati who is threathening to destroy the Vatican. Take a look to those preview clips of Angels and Demons:

If you get bored of the slow pace of the Da Vinci Code movie then maybe Angels and Demons be a better match. Indeed according to producer Brian Grazer:

“Langdon doesn’t stop and give a speech. When he speaks, he’s in motion.”

Well i enjoyed the Da Vinci Code. And I’m quite impatient to see Angels and Demons because it also combines sci-fi (with anti-matter!) and religion!
