Angels and Demons is the new film based on the Dan Brown novel of the same name and it is set to be released May 15, 2009. It is being touted as a sequel to The Da Vinci Code film when, in terms of the novels, it is actually a prequel. Bay Area native Tom Hanks returns to portray the protagonist, Robert Langdon. The film also stars Ewan McGregor (Star Wars prequels) and Stellan Skarsgard (Pirates of the Caribbean sequels).One of the thematic elements of the film involves a uneasy alliance between the Catholic Church and Robert Langdon due to his perceived betrayal for what he did in the first film. However in the book, the events that happened in The Da Vinci Code occurred after the events of Angels and Demons.
One of the major theme areas in The Da Vinci Code involves the Louvre in Paris, France. While in Angels and Demons, one of the major theme areas involves the Vatican. The following pictures are picture I took when I went to Europe at the Louvre and the Vatican. The first picture is where the Holy Grail is hidden in the Louvre and the second picture is from the top of the Vatican.
