This film is based on the novel ‘Angels and Demons’,
What terrifying discovery would make the Vatican turn to Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks), the man who cracked history’s most controversial code? When Langdon finds evidence of the resurgence of an ancient secret brotherhood known as the Illuminati—the most powerful underground organization in history—he also faces a deadly threat to the existence of the Illuminati’s most despised enemy: the Catholic Church.
Upon learning that the clock is ticking on an unstoppable Illuminati time bomb, Langdon is recruited to travel to Rome, where he joins forces with Vittoria Vetra (Ayelet Zurer), a beautiful and enigmatic Italian scientist. Embarking on a nonstop, action-packed hunt through sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs, deserted cathedrals, and even to the heart of the most secretive vault on earth, Langdon and Vetra will follow the 400-year-old Path of Illumination that marks the Vatican’s only hope for survival.

Trivia provided by The Internet Movie Database:
-
This movie became the first big-screen casualty of the Hollywood writer’s strike in 2007, because Akiva Goldsman’s script still needed work, and he was on strike with the Writers Guild of America. So, production of the movie had to be postponed.
-
The production had to build a scale replica of St. Peter’s Square since Vatican officers banned the movie from being filmed in its grounds.
Although the novel upon which this film is based is set before the events of the novel The Da Vinci Code, the film has been written as a sequel to follow after events in The Da Vinci Code (2006).
-
Naomi Watts was originally cast as Vittoria.
-
Alfred Molina who played Aringarosa in The Da Vinci Code (2006) did the voice over for this movie’s first trailer.
-
Thure Lindhardt was nearly cast as Silas in The Da Vinci Code (2006). Ron Howard liked his audition so much that he offered him the role of Chartrand in this movie.
