Da Vinci Code Trailer Online

If you've never heard of The Da Vinci Code, then you obviously don't read. The novel has been on best-seller lists long enough for Christians to read it, get upset about it, publish other books refuting it, have their refutations attacked, and then publish more refutations to the refutations of their refutations. Some people get a little upset when you start messing with the story of Jesus, and then use it to sell fiction.

The story itself is like Raiders of the Lost Ark, but with bad theology. It's a "Paganism for Dummies" story, wrapped in clothing that loosely resembles Christianity, with a fun adventure thrown into the mix. If you can suspend your belief in any modern Biblical scholarship, and tell yourself that this is only a fictional story, designed to plant itself on best-seller lists for as long as possible, then you might enjoy it.

The movie trailer, just released, looks very slick. It comes complete with albino monks, naked and dead senior citizens, that girl from Amelie, and Tom Hanks. The movie itself is set for release on May 19, 2006 (which is, incidentally, the day I'm planning to get married).

I'm sure this movie with cause more religious controversy than people who hate Narnia. But then again, that always helps with ticket sales.
