Perhaps it's just something unmentionable in the context of a general-rated trailer.
You know, that one we're not allowed to know about yet. "Earth, Air, Fire, Water," says the voice of Hanks over each usefully illustrated sign, "and the fifth sign," which is just unbearably vague. Bless you McGregor, you're getting to be so predictable. Best thing though, is that he says it in his very best "let's get on with this and hand over the cheque so I can finance my next world trip please" cod Irish. "What koind of soign?" says Ewan McGregor (who clearly hasn't managed to get past the first three pages of Angels and Demons, like so many others). What it's the first sign of, or why, anyone who hasn't read the book hasn't a chance of knowing. "This is the first sign!" says Hanks, referring to nothing anyone can identify. "Access to the archives is only by written decree by the holy father!"Ī hidden trail, you say? Just like The Da Vinci Code! And then there's Tom Hanks, just like in The Da Vinci Code! "There's a hidden trail through Rome itself. Yet, in the context of the trailer, all of that makes sense. So not only is Professor Langdon providing them with the solution, he's also patronising them by poking holes in Catholicism. They've come for their revenge."Īh right. The Catholic church ordered a brutal massacre to silence them forever. "The Illuminati were a secret society dedicated to scientific truth. Which is weird, because it's one of the easiest words to guess at in a crossword. Perhaps they need help with a crossword clue?
"He exposed one of the greatest coverups in human history, ", "but what terrifying discovery could make the Vatican turn to him?" Like Indiana Jones – now there's a recognisable name. If only the name was more recognisable and rolled off the tongue more easily, though. That should tell you that it's related to The Da Vinci Code, if you didn't know already. And then there's a dead body: a dead priest, no less.Įxcellent.
Sets the scene perfectly in time, location, and situation.Ī girl screams. The new Pope is yet to be selected," says a voiceover, news presenter-style. "Thousands are gathered in St Peter's Square.
So this time, we can assume, they're doing a loose adaptation of a less familiar and less popular work instead. The problem with the Da Vinci film, director Ron Howard has said, was that they tried to stick too closely to a familiar and extremely popular book, and it ended up being too wordy and staged. And yes, found it to be not quite as catchy or readable, but that's not the point here. Although it's actually a prequel to the Da Vinci book, it's here presented as a sequel – which is only fair since eleventy-billion people read it after enjoying the other one. Angels and Demons is, of course, a book in the same series as The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown.
