Looks good! At the end they highlight the following letters in the credits:

THSECDEO

Mean anything? Just a scramble for "The Codes"?

I may just have to read the book.

And it looks much too dark to be anything other than rated R.

Definitely read the book for those that haven't -- it's a quick read.

Impressed with the trailer.

or listen to the unabridged audiobook in the car like i did. did the same with Angels and Demons as well. I actually looked forward to driving those few weeks.

I'm still unconfortable about the choice of Tom Hanks as Langdon....and I am worried that a book like this will lose a lot of itself wehn condensed into a 2 hour movie. I think it would work better as a much longer miniseries on cable or something. How can they possibly have time to work in enough of the symbology, ancient reilgion, and religious history stuff?

Looks good! Tom Hanks with the Kevin Bacon hairdo? I was just at the Louvre last month so it looked pretty familiar.

Absolutely love the book, and the trailer looked better than I was expecting it to be. I'm in.

Very good trailer. As someone who's not a fan of the ideas presented (laughable as it may be) I feel compelled to see it anyways.

I thought the book was more a screenplay than a novel, and something of an anticlimactic tease at that, but the movie does have some impressive star power attached to it, and doesn't look half bad.

At least it looks like he got fairly fit for the role. He's still not quite what I imagined while reading Angels and Demons, but at least he looks a little more than the normal common man that Hanks usually plays

Use the direct links at:
www.davestrailerpage.co.uk

Just do a right-click and save on them. That's what I had to do, because I was having the same problem for some reason.

I agree, I was a bit worried about Hanks in the role, but the shots of him from the trailer don't seem too bad.

Finally. I again win the "I will wait until they make it into a movie" patience test.

Reading is for losers.
