Today, MSN debuted the new full trailer for The Da Vinci Code followup, Angels & Demons, due out May 15 and directed by Ron Howard. I was never a fan of Code but Demons looks solid. Best of all, Tom Hanks, once again playing Robert Langdon, is no longer rocking that heinous hairdo from Code. The plot appears to be yet another conspiracy involving the Catholic church which leads to lots of shadowy shots of religious statues. And Demons looks to be much faster paced than the sodden Code, which felt like it went on and on for days. What do you think Pop Watchers? Will you go see Angels & Demons?

Angels & Demons is the best Dan Brown book! It’s almost impossible to capture Brown’s amazingly written books but I was pleased with Code and can’t wait to see Demons!!
Well, I just finished “Angels” and I think it helps that the entire book takes place over the course of 24 hours.
No, thank you. DaVinci Code contained too many laughable factual errors that made it utterly unwatchable. For Angels, it’s just more of the same.
Looks like it could be great. I enjoyed Code a lot, and hopefully Demons will have a better pace.
Looks fabulous. I enjoyed the Code, even though the book had so much more in it. The movie seems to indicate that this is after DaVinci Code, when the books are the other way around. Whether it is true to the book or not, we’ll see. But it certainly does look like a holy good romp.
Angels was a far superior book to Da Vinci Code, and because of it’s scale (those cathedral and Vatican City scenes) I will indeed go see it in a theater. And for Nick, whose concerns about factual errors seem a bit odd…these are NOVELS, i.e. fiction. Damned good fiction at that.
Ewan McGregor makes everything better
Ditto Erin! I love Ewan. And I thought this book was much better than The Da Vinci Code.
Tom Hanks is no Robert Langdon.
I’ve seen this trailer a few times (and have read the book) and the movie just looks BORING to me…I’m sure I’m in the minority here, but wow, who the heck cares? I guess my Da Vinci Code movie flashback is coming back to haunt my feelings about this upcoming movie, but I have no love for it…At All…
Angels and Demons was a far better book, and I would love to go see the movie. I’ll be there. Unless it opens the same weekend as Star Trek…then i’m other wise engaged
I loved Angels & Demons plus Deception point a lot more than Da Vinci Code. Da Vinci code was the first movie adapted from a book i have read that did not disappoint me one bit. Having said that, I dred what they have done w/Confessions of a Shopaholic. The trailers have me depressed.
OH MY F*CKING GOD…
RON HOWARD HOULD HAVE NEVER TOUCHED THESE BOOKS… I HOPE NO ONE EVER MAKES DECEPTION POINT AS THAT IS MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE DAN BROWN BOOK….
BUT THIS MOVIE LOOKS LIKE CRAP… ON STICK.
To DianaQ… read interviews of Dan Brown. The putz actually believes his own conspiracy theories. So does nonstop viral “documentaries” on the History channel. He says the facts are true, even if the story is not. Which is why stupid facts (like Opus Dei “monks”?) are enough to make many people suspectible to his own idiocies. Next time, know your subject.
Nick, those interviews with Dan Brown were of him TRYING TO SELL HIS BOOK! Of course he would say those things but obviously this is a WORK OF FICTION. The same thing happened when the makers of the blair witch project said that the footage in the movie was real. Its all about peaking interest and getting butts in the seats.
