Part of the reason that it is coming up now is because of the hype hollywood is making on the upcoming movie the OMEN. Here is an article on the subject I read:\n\nLOS ANGELES (AFP) - With the clamor over religious thriller "The Da Vinci Code" barely fading, a major Hollywood studio is mining the same vein with a Satanic "666" marketing campaign for its new horror film. \n\n"The Omen", a remake of the 1976 horror classic, is the kind of film that routinely makes it big at the box office, appealing to the coveted demographic of young and predominantly male thrill-seekers.\n\nTwentieth Century Fox has banked "The Omen" on a promotional campaign based on "666", the number associated with Satan, based on Revelation, the last book in the Bible.\n\nEven the film's worldwide debut is set for June 6, 2006, or 06/06/06, which the studio conveniently has shortened to 666 in the film's logo.\n\nIn the Christian culture, the number "666" is the symbol of the devil, as related by Revelation 13:18: "This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666."\n\n"The Omen" is the story of a father who realizes his adopted infant son, Damien, who has a 666 birthmark on his skull, is a reincarnation of Satan. A maelstrom of death surrounds the boy.\n\n"The prophecy is clear, the signs unmistakable: Armageddon is upon us. On 6/6/06, the omen is revealed...and our darkest fears are realized," says the 20th Century Fox website.\n\nThe use of a Satanic promotional campaign comes at a sensitive time, after this month's release of "The Da Vinci Code" provoked an outcry from religious groups protesting the film's controversial theme of a married Jesus Christ and a     Vatican cover-up.\n\n"Normally, a marketer is going to be very, very wary about using the devil," said Robert Thompson, professor of television at Syracuse University in New York state.\n\n"But 666 has really emerged in the popular culture as a funny thing you bring up when you're talking about a kid misbehaving on the playground, you say 'I bet this one has a 666 on his scalp'," he said.\n\nBut Ted Baehr, president of Movieguide, a conservative Christian publication, warned the marketing could backfire.\n\n"Any time you overemphasize the demonic and the satanic, you're feeding the lesser instincts of people who're susceptible," he told AFP.\n\n"The marketing can be the biggest drawback of the movie."

-if you didn't watch MI1 or MI2, don't watch MI3... coz you'll know what to expect if you know the previous episodes...\n-if you are not impressed with tom cruise's stunts, don't watch MI3\n-if you go strongly against the fictional idea of 'Jesus may have married & got a son', don't watch da vinci code coz you'll curse it from the moment you walk in the cinema\n-if you've read the book & still think it's ok/interesting, go for da vinci code, guess the actors won't let you down (from the cast & the comments so far)\n-if you don't have $$, don't watch both!

The movie rating system is a voluntary system sponsored by the Motion Picture Association of America and the National Association of Theatre Owners to provide parents with advance information on films, enabling parents to make judgments on movies they want or do not want their children to see. \n\nG - General Audience. All ages admitted. This signifies that the film rated contains nothing most parents will consider offensive for even their youngest children to see or hear. Nudity, sex scenes, and scenes of drug use are absent; violence is minimal; snippets of dialogue may go beyond polite conversation but do not go beyond common everyday expressions. \n\nPG -  Parental Guidance Suggested. Some material may not be suitable for children. This signifies that the film rated may contain some material parents might not like to expose to their young children - material that will clearly need to be examined or inquired about before children are allowed to attend the film. Explicit sex scenes and scenes of drug use are absent; nudity, if present, is seen only briefly, horror and violence do not exceed moderate levels.\n\nPG 13 - Parents Strongly Cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13. This signifies that the film rated may be inappropriate for pre-teens. Parents should be especially careful about letting their younger children attend. Rough or persistent violence is absent; sexually-oriented nudity is generally absent; some scenes of drug use may be seen; one use of the harsher sexually derived words may be heard.\n\nR-  Restricted-Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian (age varies in some locations). This signifies that the rating board has concluded that the film rated contains some adult material. Parents are urged to learn more about the film before taking their children to see it. An R may be assigned due to, among other things, a film's use of language, theme, violence, sex or its portrayal of drug use.\n\nNC -17 No One 17 and Under Admitted. This signifies that the rating board believes that most American parents would feel that the film is patently adult and that children age 17 and under should not be admitted to it. The film may contain explicit sex scenes, an accumulation of sexually-oriented language, or scenes of excessive violence. The NC-17 designation does not, however, signify that the rated film is obscene or pornographic.

Dan Brown talks about the controversy surrounding the movie.\n\nHOW MUCH OF THIS NOVEL IS TRUE?\nThe Da Vinci Code is a novel and therefore a work of fiction. While the book's characters and their actions are obviously not real, the artwork, architecture, documents, and secret rituals depicted in this novel all exist (for example, Leonardo Da Vinci's paintings, the Gnostic Gospels, Hieros Gamos, etc.). These real elements are interpreted and debated by fictional characters. While it is my belief that some of the theories discussed by these characters may have merit, each individual reader must explore these characters' viewpoints and come to his or her own interpretations. My hope in writing this novel was that the story would serve as a catalyst and a springboard for people to discuss the important topics of faith, religion, and history.

Sure I will. Tom Hanks is a great actor.  The story line is fiction.  Sure in the preface Dan Brown makes a fool of himself by making false claims, but he states the story line is fiction.  If as a Christian I'd go and see Mission Impossible Three, surely i'd view the Davinci Code.  In fact, I look forward to seeing it.\n\nAnd further more, even if the book is "hersey", you can't argue with the results.  Whether or not Dan Brown intended it, more people are seeking out the truth behind the book and finding Constantine and the real Gospel.  I think God works in some powerful ways...\n\nPlus, the movie itself opens up a whole new area of witness that can be used for ministry.  We are called to be able to provide an answer for our faith.  If a non-believer's question comes from something within the film, i'd like to be able to give him a clear answer.

I don't know what kind of movie you like. I watched Mission Impossible 3 last week and The Da Vinci Code last night. They both were great to watch.

Um... It's just a movie. It's pretty unimportant. In fact, I'm a bit puzzled as to why there's so much attention being placed on the issue. All it's doing is getting persons more riled up to see it. Protesters have merely propagated a movie that would have probably been only mildly successful were it given less concern. The Da Vinci code isn't a distraction from Satan. Personally, I think it's just some attempt at stirring people's beliefs and making some good cash in the process. We're always going to be presented with compromising views. It's best to just stick to what you believe in and not be too easily perturbed by 'the others'.

it is a GREAT movie/book i read the book and it is so addicting!! read this interview:\n\nHOW MUCH OF THIS NOVEL IS TRUE?\nThe Da Vinci Code is a novel and therefore a work of fiction. While the book's characters and their actions are obviously not real, the artwork, architecture, documents, and secret rituals depicted in this novel all exist (for example, Leonardo Da Vinci's paintings, the Gnostic Gospels, Hieros Gamos, etc.). These real elements are interpreted and debated by fictional characters. While it is my belief that some of the theories discussed by these characters may have merit, each individual reader must explore these characters' viewpoints and come to his or her own interpretations. My hope in writing this novel was that the story would serve as a catalyst and a springboard for people to discuss the important topics of faith, religion, and history. \n\nBUT DOESN'T THE NOVEL'S "FACT" PAGE CLAIM THAT EVERY SINGLE WORD IN THIS NOVEL IS HISTORICAL FACT?\nIf you read the "FACT" page, you will see it clearly states that the documents, rituals, organization, artwork, and architecture in the novel all exist. The "FACT" page makes no statement whatsoever about any of the ancient theories discussed by fictional characters. Interpreting those ideas is left to the reader. \n\nIS THIS BOOK ANTI-CHRISTIAN?\nNo. This book is not anti-anything. It's a novel. I wrote this story in an effort to explore certain aspects of Christian history that interest me. The vast majority of devout Christians understand this fact and consider The Da Vinci Code an entertaining story that promotes spiritual discussion and debate. Even so, a small but vocal group of individuals has proclaimed the story dangerous, heretical, and anti-Christian. While I regret having offended those individuals, I should mention that priests, nuns, and clergy contact me all the time to thank me for writing the novel. Many church officials are celebrating The Da Vinci Code because it has sparked renewed interest in important topics of faith and Christian history. It is important to remember that a reader does not have to agree with every word in the novel to use the book as a positive catalyst for introspection and exploration of our faith. \n\nWHAT DO YOU THINK OF CLERICAL SCHOLARS ATTEMPTING TO "DISPROVE" THE DA VINCI CODE? \nThe dialogue is wonderful. These authors and I obviously disagree, but the debate that is being generated is a positive powerful force. The more vigorously we debate these topics, the better our understanding of our own spirituality. Controversy and dialogue are healthy for religion as a whole. Religion has only one true enemy--apathy--and passionate debate is a superb antidote. \n\nPARTS OF THE DA VINCI CODE DESCRIBE THE ACTIVITIES OF THE RELIGIOUS GROUP OPUS DEI. HOW DOES OPUS DEI FEEL ABOUT YOUR NOVEL? \nI worked very hard to create a fair and balanced depiction of Opus Dei. Even so, there may be those who are offended by the portrayal. While Opus Dei is a very positive force in the lives of many people, for others, affiliation with Opus Dei has been a profoundly negative experience. Their portrayal in the novel is based on numerous books written about Opus Dei as well as on my own personal interviews with current and former members. \n\nSOME OF THE HISTORY IN THIS NOVEL CONTRADICTS WHAT I LEARNED IN SCHOOL. WHAT SHOULD I BELIEVE?\nSince the beginning of recorded time, history has been written by the "winners" (those societies and belief systems that conquered and survived). Despite an obvious bias in this accounting method, we still measure the "historical accuracy" of a given concept by examining how well it concurs with our existing historical record. Many historians now believe (as do I) that in gauging the historical accuracy of a given concept, we should first ask ourselves a far deeper question: How historically accurate is history itself?\n\nARE YOU

The Da Vinci Code, the movie, is based on a FICTIONAL book, so the whole big stink is being made over someone's imagination.  Yes, little facts are mixed in here and there, but freaking out and saying the movie is an attack on faith is ridiculous.  At the very least, the movie should be encouraged because it motivates people to THINK, to examine their beliefs...regardless of how good or bad the acting may be.  Additionally, as for people being upset that some believe Christ married, it should be pointed out that NO WHERE in the Bible is marriage considered a sin.  Rather, the union between man and woman through marriage (made official in that time by sexual intercourse) is considered a GIFT from God. :-)\n\nAs for Pirates...WOO HOO!  I can't wait to see it!
