• Da Vinci Code Movie Youtube

Darren Aronofsky takes on the Bible for his next movie Noah, and though the film won't be in cinemas until 2014, there's already controversy swirling around the big budget drama. Paramount's recent test-screenings - to Jewish, Christian and general audiences - reportedly prompted 'troubled reactions', leading to much speculation about what Aronofsky's epic has in store.

The Da Vinci Code is a dismal and disappointing thriller that is more insulting for its poor scripting than its theological pretentions. Caterpillar b15 software update. Howard's direction is utterly lacklustre, most of the cast. The Da Vinci Code is a 2006 American mystery thriller film directed by Ron Howard, written by Akiva Goldsman, and based on Dan Brown's 2003 best-selling novel of the same name.

Noah is not the first film to fall foul of church groups - it seems that anytime a movie portrays religion, headlines and column inches swiftly follow. Digital Spy takes a look at six movies that have sparked religious uproar below..

The Devils (1971)
Ken Russell relished his reputation as a provocateur, and his early '70s drama The Devils was prime bait for the tabloids with its depiction of witchcraft, explicit nudity and Vanessa Redgrave as a masturbating nun. The film naturally fell foul of ratings boards and was heavily censored on its initial release. The Devils garnered renewed interest in the early '00s when critic Mark Kermode discovered lost footage.. the fact that it contained a sequence dubbed 'Rape of Christ' probably goes some way to highlighting just why it was so controversial.

Monty Python's Life of Brian (1979)
'So funny it was banned in Norway!' announced the tag line for this Monty Python film, which centred on a Jewish man called Brian who gets mistaken for the Messiah. Accused of blasphemy and banned in Ireland for an astonishing eight years, the comedy found itself slapped with an X certificate in the UK and prevented from being shown by 39 local councils. Life of Brian, of course, brilliantly satirises the furore surrounding religion so it's perhaps ironic just how much of a fuss it caused.

The Last Temptation of Christ (1988)
Martin Scorsese's adaptation of Nikos Kazantzakis's book showed Willem Dafoe's Jesus grappling with human temptations, including lustful desires for Barbara Hershey's Mary Magdalene. A scene of Jesus consummating his marriage with Mary and his crucifixion, in which Satan appears as an androgynous child, drew religious ire for departing from the gospel. Last Temptation found itself banned in several countries and still isn't shown in Philippines or Singapore.

Dogma (1999)
Kevin Smith's fourth feature film drew protests from the Catholic League thanks to its tale of two fallen angels trying to get back into Heaven. Smith was inundated with hate mail around the time of Dogma's release and, hilariously, the writer/director actually joined a New Jersey group to protest against his own movie.

The Passion of the Christ (2004)
This Mel Gibson film gruesomely depicted the final hours of Jesus's life, with the director's own hands cropping up in an insert shot to hammer Christ to the cross. The film was met by a wave of criticism from the Jewish community, who felt that it was blaming them for the death of Jesus. Gibson denied this and also defended the scenes of extreme violence, saying: 'If you don't like it, don't go. If you want to leave halfway through, go ahead.'

The Da Vinci Code (2006)
Both Dan Brown's novel and the subsequent Ron Howard film adaptation stirred up anger with Catholics for suggesting that Jesus and Mary Magdalene had a daughter who was part of a 2,000-year-old cover-up from the church. The Vatican denounced the movie on its 2006 cinema release, while countries ranging from Jordan to Samoa banned the film outright. This was presumably to do with The Da Vinci Code's hot potato religious content and not Tom Hanks's highly-offensive hairstyle.
