Belittled by a blockbuster
The Guardian reports that a Christian group in South Korea has filed a court injunction against the film adaptation of The Da Vinci Code claiming that it “defiles the sanctity of Jesus Christ and distorts facts.”
“The Da Vinci Code is a movie which belittles and tries to destroy Christianity,” said the Rev Hong Jae-chul of the Christian Council of Korea, an umbrella group of over 60 Korean Protestant denominations.
The group has also called on other Christian groups to try and block the film, which stars Tom Hanks, Audrey Tautou and Ian McKellen and is due to be released later this year.
