Yeah, like Hollywood would ever make such a movie.

When he walks on to a movie set, he usually gets star treatment.
But as Tom Hanks arrived at the Lincoln Cathedral yesterday, he found himself somewhat upstaged.
A handful of protesters were making their feelings known about the decision to film scenes from The Da Vinci Code in the historic building.

Yes, you can. It is a movie. You can make a movie about how Jesus Christ started Scientology if you want. I think the real issue is how this affects the less informed among us who internalize movies presented in a factual manner however false and easily diprovable they might be. (See Michael Moore flicks.) How do we ensure that people take the time to check the facts after they see something like this?
My impression of Tom Hanks is that he's a very nice, decent man who is ruled by his heart rather than his head, hence his support of liberal causes.
Go ahead, but even if it's 100% factual I hope you have a LOT of money for lawyers to defend you.
You can't. And I personally don't care about the masses being so willfully ignorant, anymore. If all they want to do is party, play, and think "the Man" is out to get them, F*** 'em.
I'm sorry to see Hanks involved in this farce...
Hanks has enough Hollywood Horsepower to make movies that he himself can act in. He's on the Robert Redford track.
Unless you have met Hanks, you don't know him. What you know is what is edited for TV presentation.
I have no information on which to judge mr. Hanks. To me, he is just another guy that can memorize lines and change his facial expressions. Acting is not science, math, or biology.
Yeah, like Hollywood would ever make such a movie. It would be great if somebody with their own production company (like Mel Gibson) would take on Scientology.
This movie was made by a Scientolgist and is not an objective look AT Scientology.
A prospective movie about the history of Scientology is a fascinating subject.
Do all those millions upon millions of people who bought and read the book have some sort of deep disrespect for religious people? This is a pulp adventure no more about Catholicism then 'National Treaure' was about American history.
I listen to people talk about this book at work. They believe it! Do not underestimate the stupidity of people. Especially otherwise intellegent professional people.
uhh. It's FICTION!!!!
Is the Christianity so weak and feeble that it can not stand fiction?
Or shall we ban these books and burn the authors at the stake. You know, more like Islam...
"I listen to people talk about this book at work. They believe it! Do not underestimate the stupidity of people. Especially otherwise intellegent professional people."
Quick question.
Even if SOME of the book were true, would that instantly make Jesus not the way, the truth and the light?
He would still be the messiah.

To me...no problem. To the easily led...it closes doors.
