Howard Sidesteps Questions About 'Da Vinci' Controversy

From IMDB: Ron Howard, the director of the movie version of The Da Vinci Code, which is currently shooting in Britain, has declined to discuss the brewing controversy over his film among fundamentalist religious groups. Arriving at the Deauville American film festival for a screening of his Cinderella Man, Howard told Agence France Presse, the French wire service: "I can tell you we are halfway through the filming and the actors are doing a spectacular job. ... It's a fascinating story to adapt and essentially it's a great opportunity to entertain and provoke conversation."
