The movie based on the Blockbuster Novel 'The DaVinci Code' is releasing on May 19, 2006. So if are not among the 25 million people who have read the book, you still have a couple of months before the flim is out.
What is more exciting is the cast. Tom Hanks for the role of Langdon. Initially they were speculations of Salma Hayek for the role of Sophie, but a Latin American girl, playing a French character didn't seem proper. The producer Don Howard and director Brian Frazer infact were called upon by Jacques Chirac to say bonjour and to make sure all was well with the flim shooting. He recommended his daughter's best friend, a french actress of some acclaim for the role of Sophie but Audrey Tautou ended up getting the job.
The movie is shot in the Louvre, but they have used a duplicate Mona Lisa painting. The movie also includes the other locations in the book like the Temple church in London, and Rosslyn Chapel in scotland where Silas goes finding the holy grail.
If 2005 was not a good year for Hollywood, 2006 promises to be a blast with Superman, Spiderman3, X-men3, sequel to the pirates of the carribean, mission impossible3, and offcourse thr DaVinci code.

THanks Pratik...for droppin in and wishing me b'day :)
well am also among those 25 million who haven't read the book :)
If u like reading u should definetly read this book.
Though I have very much wanted to read the book , couldnt' find time for it.. The least I can do is watch the movie when it releases... and if I like it i'l read the book - or should it be the other way round?
hey zaki,
u should definetly read the book first, It is very intresting to see the plot unfold after u have read the book. I did that for all the harry potter movies, and certainly enjoyed it.
