"The Da Vinci Code" starts filming in Paris

Tom Hanks and the rest of the cast and crew of the upcoming movie "The Da Vinci Code" have started filming in Paris and are to take over the Louvre museum -- a key location --, the producers said. The 100-million-dollar (80-million-euro) film version of the US novel penned by Dan Brown is due out in May next year. It stars Hanks as its professorial hero Robert Langdon, who has to decipher a number of clues linked to historic works, including Leonardo Da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" painting, to crack a centuries-old secret protected by a mysterious and deadly sect.
