Hope you enjoy it!

Hey there. The other I ran into a advertisement of the movie ANGELS & DEMONS. If you loved THE DaVINCI CODE, then you don't want to miss this one. It will be released in May 2009. Here it is some information about the movie:

Angels & Demons is an upcoming film adaptation of Dan Brown's novel of the same name, due for release on May 15, 2009. The film stars Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon, a role he played in The Da Vinci Code, another Brown film adaptation. The Da Vinci Code director Ron Howard and screenwriter Akiva Goldsman also return. Filming took place in Rome and the Sony Pictures Studios in Los Angeles.

Robert Langdon is summoned by CERN to investigate a murder victim, branded with the Illuminati ambigram, leading him to discover the secret society's scheme to murder four cardinals and destroy St. Peter's Basilica during a papal conclave using antimatter.

In 2003, Sony acquired the film rights to Angels & Demons along with The Da Vinci Code in a deal with author Dan Brown. In May 2006, following the film release of the film adaptation oh The Da Vinci Code, Sony hired screenwriter Akiva Goldsman, who wrote the film adaptation of The Da Vinci Code, to adapt Angels and Demons. Producer Brian Grazer said they were too reverential when adapting The Da Vinci Code, which resulted in it being a little long and stagey. This time, Langdon doesn't stop and give a speech. When he speaks, he's in motion. David Koepp rewrote the script before shooting began.

Filming was originally to begin in February 2008 for a December 2008 release, but because of the 2007-2008 Writers Guild of America strike, production was pushed back for a May 15, 2009 release. Shooting began on June 4, 2008 in Rome under the fake working title Obelisk. The filmmakers scheduled three weeks of exterior location filming because of a predicted 2008 Screen Actors Guild strike on June 30. The rest of the film would be shot at Sony Pictures Studios in Los Angeles, California, to allow for this halt. Additionally, Roman Catholic Church officials found The Da Vinci Code offensive, so the filmmakers were unable to shoot inside the churches Santa Maria del Popolo and Santa Maria della Vittoria. The Caserta Place doubled for the inside of the Vatican, and the Biblioteca Angelica was used for the Vatican Library. A full scale replica was also built at Sony.

CBS News interviewed a priest working in Santa Susanna, who stated the Church did not also want their churches to be associated with scenes of murder. A tour guide also stated most priests do not object to tourists who visit out of interest after reading the book, a trend which will continue after people see the film. I think they are aware that it's, you know, a work of fiction and that it's bringing people into their churches. Grazer deemed it odd that although The Da Vinci Code was a more controversial novel, they had more freedom shooting its film adaptation in London and France. Italian authorities hoped the filmmakers corrected the location errors in the novel, to limit the amount of explaining they will have to do for confused tourists.

The secont unit took photographs of the Large Hadron Collider for visual effects shots of the facility. The Moving Picture Company would combine these into footage of actors shot against bluescreen in Los Angeles. Ron Howard also met with CERN to make the film more scientifically accurate. Filming also took place at the University of California, Los Angeles in July 2008.
