Posted on January 21, 2005

The Associated Press reports that the Louvre is willing to allowing filming to occur in the museum for The Da Vinci Code. Although the details are still being worked out, it looks like the location shoot is a go. Filming of the adaptation of Dan Brown's bestselling thriller is slated to start in June. Oscar-winner Ron Howard will direct Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon, a symbologist in a race to solve the murder of an elderly member of an ancient society that has protected dark secrets since the early years of Christianity.
