“Angels” Get Round Vatican Ban
The director of the controversial film “Angels & Demons” beat a Vatican ban on filming churches and around St Peter’s Square by dispatching a team of “fake tourists” to take 250,000 photographs and hours of video footage. Church chiefs issued the edict because they were furious about another Dan Brown blockbuster being made into a movie after “The Da Vinci Code” had suggested Christ was a married father. The ban had prevented director Ron Howard from filming both inside and outside churches in Rome. I guess he found a solution.
