[One of Nine]

It does look good, can't wait to see it.

[Mutant Enemy]

I'm probably the only person on earth that hasn't read the book. The trailer looks really good! I should probably read the book before I see it though?

[Nessasita]

This movie is definitely on my to see list. The trailer looks awesome. Can't wait for it to come out.

not alone.
same here

[Darklord Dave]

I'd actually recommend seeing the film first. The book is pretty much a potboiler thriller with some interesting history thrown in, so I can't imagine the movie will leave much out.

Personally I thought it did a good job of popularizing information that has been discussed for years, but I didn't think it was a great book by any means. I fully expect to like the movie a lot more.

[Azog]

Take it from Dave, I have followed his comments on movies for a while now, and he has yet to miss the mark...

[The Josh]

I'll probably go see it. It looks interesting and the theory behind it is even more interesting not that I actually believe it.

And in the meantime you can find out about the DaVinci Code in this documentary...

Unlocking DaVinci's Code (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002F6BA6/qid=1134582436/sr=8-3/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i3_xgl74/104-2663162-7142324?n=507846&s=dvd&v=glance)

And learn about the argument against it in this documentary...

And in no way is this a commercial plug for the production company that made both of those docs.

[The Josh]

I've actually seen both of those on the Discovery Channel.

[Darklord Dave]

You didn't seen these particular ones on the Discovery Channel. You probably saw versions that had some production value.

Maybe it wasn't the discovery channel. It may have been National Geographic. It's either these two or copycat programs.

[Buttmunch]

The trailer looks great. I'd guess the rating they are aiming for will be PG-13 judging by the cleaver censoring. I'm surprised how much is actually revealed in the trailer. Those of who haven't read the book and don't want to find out any spoilers don't watch the trailer slowly. Just watch it regularly and not frame by frame.

[Migwit]

I have the book but haven't read it yet. Everyone I know who's read it says it's good, but I haven't gotten myself in the mood for it. But now that the movie's coming out, I'll see if I can't spare some time for the book (because I prefer to read the book first!). :joy

[Dusty]

Wow, that *does* look good! Much better than I expected it to look. I enjoyed the book for what it was - a fun thriller with some twists and turns along the way.

[Darklord Dave]

It's either these two or copycat programs.

At last count I believe there were 27 DaVinci Code documentaries circulating in some form or another.

[The Josh]

I'm pretty dang sure it was those two exact programs but I could be and probably am wrong.

:mwaha Come on now Dave, they must have *some* production value ;)

[Wetanut]

Agree with Dave on the book. If you haven't read it before now, might as well wait for the movie. The elements are so intrinsic to each other that they wouldn't leave out any of the critical ones from the book IMO. It's a good book, but his first one was much better I thought. The trailer really does look good. Will be a definite "go see" at theaters for me.

[Nessasita]

I just finished reading the book yesterday... let me tell you... it is unbelievable... I even went home earlier from the second party on Saturday so I could read more chapters in my book. Once you start... you cannot stop. Now for me the countdown goes to the movie. My suggestion... read the book before the movie... it is amazing :google

[Wetanut]

Saw National Geographic's 2-hour piece "Beyond the DaVinci Code" last night. Coulda been about 45 minutes shorter but interesting nevertheless.

As good as DaVinci Code was, I prefer Dan Brown's first book -- Angels and Demons. Same twisting and blending of history and legend to present a plausible scenario.

edit: deleted first sentence since I'd forgotten that I'd already commented on reading vs. movie. d'uh...!

[Nessasita]

I too am in the camp of if you haven't read it by now, don't . Wait for the movie. The suspense and build up will be well worth it.

Angels and Demons is going to be my next book. Will go buy it this week. Friends at the club loved that book too. So now I want to read it. At least I am doing one of my resolutions... more reading... less television. :)

[Darklord Dave]

more reading... less television.
Well, when it comes to Dan Brown - there's a lot of tV that's better...

The first, Angels & Demons, actually had quite some flaws which sort of blew the story for me. And he made some obvious mistakes in the first book too, like a character who is somewhere in the other part of town comes back and immediately is all-informed while they are on a minute-tight deadline. Where did he find the time to get debriefed?

I know it is fiction of course, but in the Da Vinci Code it all sounds more plausible, like it could actually be true.

I've read all 4 books now and really enjoyed them, even Angels & Demons for the story was quite enjoyable and it reall grabs you. But the Da Vinci Code is still my favorite.

Can't wait for the movie to come out, but will recommend you to :read. But that's personal, I like the suspense while reading a book better than during a two-hour movie. If you want to be surprised, than you should just wait and see. It's worth it!

Well, when it comes to Dan Brown - there's a lot of tV that's better...

I couldn't disagree more. Dan Brown's books are responsible for quite a few folks I know putting down the controller and picking up a book again. I do agree with seeing the movie first, just so as not to spoil anything that may be upcoming in the next scene. I don't think that all the elements will necessarily be in the film though, if the last few big best sellers to movie are any indication Timeline, Sahara]. With the people involved in this film I am hoping not to be disappointed.
