A Boycott of Angels & Demons

The Vatican is demanding a boycott of the film Angels & Demons.

Just as the Vatican did with The Da Vinci Code, its sequel, Angels & Demons, is the target of controversy over references to the historic religion of Catholicism.

Again, the Vatican is demanding a complete boycott of the film, which is set to open on May 15, reports The Hollywood Reporter.

On Friday (March 20), in the Avvenire, the official newspaper of the Vatican, an article mentioned that the Catholic Church does not approve of the film, and is asking followers to boycott the movie.

In 2006, the Vatican called upon members to boycott The Da Vinci Code, but the film still earned $757 million at box offices worldwide.

The Vatican also made filming Angels & Demons difficult, closing roads and banning the crew from several key locations.

In the film, Tom Hanks returns to his role as professor Robert Langdon, a specialist in religious symbols.
