Seven New “Angels and Demons” Photos
Today we have the seven new photos from upcoming highly anticipated “Angels and Demons,” which is based on a bestselling novel by Dan Brown.
When Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) discovers evidence of the resurgence of an ancient secret brotherhood known as the Illuminati - the most powerful underground organization in history - he also faces a deadly threat to the existence of the secret organization’s most despised enemy: the Catholic Church. When Langdon learns that the clock is ticking on an unstoppable Illuminati time bomb, he jets to Rome, where he joins forces with Vittoria Vetra, a beautiful and enigmatic Italian scientist. Embarking on a nonstop, action-packed hunt through sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs, deserted cathedrals, and even to the heart of the most secretive vault on earth, Langdon and Vetra will follow a 400-year-old trail of ancient symbols that mark the Vatican’s only hope for survival.
Ron Howard again directs the film, which is produced by Brian Grazer, Ron Howard, and John Calley. The screenplay is by David Koepp and Akiva Goldsman. Read the rest of this entry

Angels & Demons Viral: Secret Message in Teaser Trailer
Two days ago, Sony released the teaser trailer for “Angels & Demons,” the followup to Dan Brown’s highly successful book/movie The Da Vinci Code.
Hidden in the trailer is an ambigram (reads the same thing upside down as upside right) of Illuminati that also figures heavily in the plot of the book/movie. Digging a little deeper, there’s actually a hidden message in the letters of the ambigram. With a few steps in Photoshop, the words “Altars of Science” is clearly visible.
It just happens that Sony owns a site with a domain name www.altarsofscience.com, which contains a video feed of a room with the word “Illuminati” written on the wall and a device that looks like a bomb. There is also a countdown set to run out on May 15th, 2009, which is the theatrical release date of “Angels & Demons.” Read the rest of this entry

“Frost/Nixon” Premiered At London Film Festival
London Film Festival opening movie Ron Howard’s “Frost/Nixon” premiered last night in London’s Leicester Square.
Among those attending the red carpet event - Michael Sheen, Kevin Bacon, Frank Langella, Toby Jones, Matthew Macfadyen, Oliver Platt, Peter Morgan - was David Frost himself, who said he was “delighted” by the film.
“I am delighted. It really is good, it really is powerful,” Frost said.
The movie depicts the tense meetings between David Frost and disgraced US president Richard Nixon in 1977 and series of interviews culminating in Nixon’s seeming admission of guilt over the Watergate scandal.
Frank Langella, who plays the former commander-in-chief, said Nixon continued to figure in his thoughts long after the cameras were turned off.
“I do not think I will ever say goodbye to him. I think about him every day,” he said last night. “It is not a political film but a human film.”
“David Frost is not a character, he is more of a way of life, so I started to get worried when I found it more enjoyable being him than I did being me. So now I’m starting to kind of de-Frost, come out of character and let it go,” Michael Sheen said.
The film has already received attention as a potential award winner. Director Ron Howard said:
“It is a little early for me to talk about. A movie like this - it needs that kind of support and acknowledgement.”
London Film Festival runs Oct. 15-30.

Frost/Nixon Poster
Poster for the upcoming Ron Howard-directed “Frost/Nixon” film is unveiled.
The film is based on the popular Broadway production, by the same name, and focuses on interview Nixon gave, post-resignation, to English journalist David Frost. Nixon spoke about the Watergate scandal during the sessions, which aired in 1977.
Oscar-winning director Ron Howard brings to the screen writer Peter Morgan’s (”The Queen,” “The Last King of Scotland”) electrifying battle between Richard Nixon, the disgraced president with a legacy to save, and David Frost, a jet-setting television personality with a name to make, in the untold story of the historic encounter that changed both: “Frost/Nixon.” Reprising their roles from Morgan’s stageplay are Frank Langella, who won a Tony for his portrayal of Nixon, and Michael Sheen, who fully inhabited the part of Frost onstage in London and New York.
