Amazing Illustrated Movie Companion!

This book is nothing less than amazing! Every detail from the motivation behind lighting and dialogue, to descriptions of scenery and characters is here. Because this is a controversial story, the Catholic Church refused to allow ANGELS AND DEMONS to be filmed on location. Can't blame them. But the extreme extent to which the producer, Ron Howard, went to make this movie realistic on a budget is nothing less than amazing! From creating "marble" floors out of photocopies of real marble, forcing the stars to wear booties over their shoes, to reproducing the massive sculptures in the Vatican, it is all here. Many photos overwhelm the reader with the actual scope of the project!
