Did Dan Brown Pass Art & Arch?
The other day, while at the cinema to see The Watchmen (my review here), I happened to see this trailer for Dan Brown's Angels and Demons. Anyone notice a problem in the very first shot? I got a nice chuckle...
Just further proof that Dan Brown & Co. are preying on people's ignorance.
Well, the voice-over says, "Thousands are gathered in St. Peter's Square..." when the statue - correctly identified as that atop Castel Sant'Angelo - is shown. I could be misreading the trailer, but I think the suggestion is that the statue is there.
Perhaps they confused it with one of the statues atop the basilica, which figure in this version of the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSyWqCdqCZ0

The angel at the top of the Castel Sant'Angelo? There's something wrong with it?
I guess I failed too.
