RuggieBear

worked for me.

google ffdshow and download it

scion

looks alright, nothing special

rugbug86

yeah, looks good. worth a watch i'd say.

and i'd say the usual "book is better than the film" will apply.

Quicktime 7.0.3 here and I couldn't play the non-HD trailers. I had to suffer the download of the 480p one.

Trailer looked decent enough. I enjoyed the book, cant see why so many people have a problem with it. Was an enjoyable piece of fiction. Will certainly go see the movie.

Still cant see Hanks as Langdon though. Horribly mis-cast if you ask me!

My thoughts exactly!

I thought the book was over rated so it cann't be much worse.

You can tell Dan Browne teaches creative writing

Lesson 10: How to write a page turner with out it being remotely creative.

I had to stop reading one of his other books as it was going down the same road as The DaVinci Code. :rolleyes:

If you go into the main Sony site you there are different formats for you to watch the trailer on.

I think his books are comparible to your average hollywood blockbuster. Not very well written, somewhat predictable, always follow a set formula, but also quite entertaining.

Yes, but is there a need to write anymore in novel form?

Also the character where quint essentially english, american or french.

Looks decent enough, i'll go and see it. I'd love to see how they would tackle Angels & Deamons tho. Would be interesting to see if the Church would let them film anywhere near the Vatican, or even would they get licence to film in Rome at all???

The trailer looks okay. Hopefully the pace will be a bit slower than the trailer makes it look. The book was entertaining, and I expect the film to be the same. I don't expect it to be the best film I see next year, nor to win any awards, save for perhaps acting as the cast is impressive, but I do expect that it will be universally like, if thought to be uninspired.

The casting looks good other than Tom Hanks (as much as I like him, I just can't take him seriously - whenever I see him all I can think of is that scene in The Burbs with the bone, "Ray, this is Walter!"). I enjoyed the book, hopefully I'll enjoy this too. I agree with rahim though, I'd almost prefer to see how they did Angels & Demons.

The "May 19th 2006 worldwide" is interesting - trying to reduce losses from piracy I guess. All the better for us.

I know what you mean.

I had the same feelings when he was going to be the Head Prison Warden in The Green Mile, I just couldn't see him in that role, but he was excellent.

As for this role I have a vision of him in a Grey Full-lenth Rain Coat, which makes me think of Inspector Gaget.

ObeyGiant

I dunno. I'm getting the feeling from watching it that it's kind of redundant. I mean, everyone in the world has read it at this stage. Even the little brown babies with AIDS who haven't got any food have still found time to read this book. Is there any actual point in filming it? We're all far too aware of the book's "twists." How can they make anything that even approaches entertaining and isn't just a retelling of a story that really wasn't all that impressive first time around? Any movie that can make me think "Well, maybe National Treasure wasn't so bad, because at least they were doing something slightly different" is clearly failing on some level.

I'd love to say I'm really looking forward to this film now, but I'm not.

But Audrey Tautou. Running around, looking cute. That I'm looking forward to.

This is becoming more the norm now for big films for the very reason you gave.
Sometimes there may be a week or so in between different regions to allow cast etc... attend local premiers and do promotional work etc..


This is going to be such a big hit.
Wasnt a fan of the book myself... thought is was overhyped and nothing special.
I'll still go see the movie though, but agree with Hanks being out of place.

The DaVinci code is the lowest form of beach book pap, perfect for disillusioned middle aged women who believe that this sort of tripe could be real. How come in these types of books the lead male character is instantly attractive to the first female he encounters. The Doc in this book is around 50 and probably over weight, however as soon as he walks into the room all the women go weak at the knees and he knows straight away that he will be having intercourse with one of them before the evening is out. Given the opportunity, i'd love to beat Dan Brown to death with the hard back version of his ridiculous creation. I've never seen a book spawn so many "the real Davinci code..." t.v. documentaries!!! Christ Channel Five had a field day with the whole thing and usually their happy showing tittilating "exposes" of the sex trade after home and away!!
