Star Tom Hanks, director Ron Howard, and the rest of the cast and crew of the upcoming $100 million movie of Dan Brown‘s The Da Vinci Code “have started filming in Paris and are to take over the Louvre museum — a key location,” according to an Agence France Presse wire story. French media has been refused access, says the AFP, but filming started at the Ritz hotel before moving to an all-night shoot at the Louvre. After that, it’s on to England “for several location shoots, although officials there have refused to make Westminster Abbey available to recreate an important scene because the book’s premise was considered theologically unsound.”
