Elisabetta Povoledo reports in the New York Times for June 24, 2008, on the filming of Dan Brown’s Angels and Demons, starring Tom Hanks. Several of our students have spotted the film crew around Rome and report on it in their blogs. Povoledo speculates on the tourist spinoff of the film. Already there is a guided tour of Rome based on the book, and it is expected that the film will draw still more tourists to Rome in search of the sites described in the film–but in the case of the churches, not actually filmed, since the Catholic Church denied permission for the crew to film there.
