Da Vinci film faces ban in Korea
Sounds like the religious people in Korea are afraid of loosing sheeple!

Quote:
A religious group in Korea has applied for a provisional injunction to stop the release of the movie version of the novel The Da Vinci Code.
The Christian Council of Korea (CCK) filed its application in Seoul against the film's distributor Sony Pictures, according to Screen International.

Dan Brown's bestselling book suggests Jesus and Mary Magdalene had a child.

CCK said the film was "an insult and defamation" of the holiness of Jesus Christ and the Bible.

The group added that they were "concerned about the damage that would be caused to individuals' faith" because of the film's content.

The film stars Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou and is directed by Ron Howard.

It is currently scheduled to open in Korea next month after its Cannes world premiere on 17 May.
Personally, I don't think any movie should be banned over a point of view. This will open up the religious debate. If we can't draw cartoons about a Muslim leader, can we make movies blasting the Christian faith?

I have read the book and I am looking forward to seeing how they do with the movie. TIME ran an extensive article during the month of January and some of the film was actually shot in the Luve. (sp) I guess they are trying to make it as much like the book as possible, but that sucker is a long one and I doubt they'll be able to keep most of it. Tom Hanks always makes a good movie (IMO) so it should be worth seeing. -- As for the radicals who want to ban this movie all I can do is laugh in their faces. This movie will do no more to change peoples view on religion than my ultimate favorite religious bash, "DOGMA". If you have never seen "DOGMA" log off and go get it right now. It is a masterpiece!
