    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Crew members visited Vatican City as tourists and extensively photographed the city to capture as much detail as possible, knowing they were unlikely to be allowed to film there, so that they could recreate the sets as faithfully as possible.
    • Goofs
      (at around 1h 5 mins) When Langdon is in the Vatican library, he passes the book he is reading over to Chartrand and asks him to look for any reference to fire. Chartrand glances at the book and mentions the word "seraphim". Directly above this is a far stronger reference to fire, "di fuoco", which actually is Italian for fire.
    • Quotes

      Camerlengo Patrick McKenna: Christianity's most sacred codices are in that archive. Given your recent... entanglement with the Church, there is a question I'd like to ask you first here in-in the office of His Holiness.

      [Walks towards Robert Langdon]

      Camerlengo Patrick McKenna: Do you believe in God, sir?

      Robert Langdon: [pause] Father, I simply believe that religion...

      Camerlengo Patrick McKenna: I did not ask if you believe what man says about God. I asked if you believe in God.

      Robert Langdon: [pause] I'm an academic. My mind tells me I will never... understand God.

      Camerlengo Patrick McKenna: And your heart?

      Robert Langdon: [pause] Tells me I'm not meant to. Faith is a gift... that I have yet to receive.

      Camerlengo Patrick McKenna: [pauses to consider his words] Be delicate with our treasures.

    • Crazy credits
      At the very beginning, when the Columbia girl is standing holding aloft the torch, it flickers like the anti-matter.
    • Alternate versions
      The UK version has been cut in four scenes to attain a more lucrative 12A rating. The BBFC suggested to the filmmakers that sight of blood splattering onto a character's face, sight of a character screaming in pain as he burns, sight of a wound being injected and sight of a character self-immolating and burning should all be reduced, in order to avoid a 15 rating.

    I wish I hadn't read the book
    I am sorry for all the readers, but I don't know where to begin.

    Let me say at first that I'm not a big Dan Brown fan, but I read Angels & Demons with great pleasure. The book deals a lot with the eternal question of Science vs. Religion and that made me think a lot about that subject again. That big battle is totally lost in the movie.

    A lot of the important lines in the book (CERN, Maximilian Kohler, the scepsis of the Swiss Guard, the love relationship between Robert and Vittoria, the Hassassin, the relationship between the Camerlengo and the pope) are lost in the movie screenplay. This makes the movie a very cut-down and over-simplified version.

    Would the movie be any good if I hadn't read the book? I still doubt it. From scene 3 on, the movie is a 'chase-movie' without interruption. There is no time for contemplation or depth. No story-line, no backgrounds. It's just a chase movie in a GREAT decorum.

    You would think that with a running time of about 140 minutes a movie is able to bring more. Much more.
