[Trailhead?] The Da Vinci Code

[Shaded Spriter]

I wish I could see the full screen trailer...

It looks interesting...It would be funny if they hidden an ARG in this movie since this is about codes hidden in famous paintings (not read the book...so if I am wrong don't kill me.)

[thebruce]

well it seems like the perfect movie genre for an ARG... has anyone else seen the trailer in theatres? Maybe someone who's going to see star wars, or maybe any other movie, can take a digital camera with a good zoom along to capture that line disappearing at the end, see if there's any more that can be seen?

I can't let this one slip through the cracks without knowing whether or not there is actually something to see on that line...!

I haven't read the book or seen the trailer myself, but might it be just a line from the book?

Well Bruce it looks instead of send to be "Lead you on further" The first three words I can't understand worth a hell. This would totally make me happy, cuz I freaking loved the book.

When I first looked at the line, the first word looked like "hitherto". I did a search for that word in various bible passages, and came up with this:

/me salivates all over the keyboard.

I heart DaVinci Code, and am looking forward to the movie already. This just makes me happier. Nice find, Brucie, and nice work, the rest of youse.

The bible passage is integral in the story. come to think of it, the entire story plays like an ARG. Am hoping they get on the ball here, it would be too delicious to pass up...

Oh, I KNEW there was a reason they were letting us go through the opening vid frame by frame. This poor person seems to have gotten some math in their hair. And I seriously doubt this is the only instance of something like this in the vid.

(And I was right! There's more numbers under the Vitruvian Man's right armpit. The Fibbonacci sequence, to be exact. Doubtless there are others, but it's already very, very late for me.)

UGH! If that code leads right back into the Da Vinco experience, thats not an ARG but a cute little time waster. Am hoping they would have expanded it into a fuller game....

Guys, the DaVinci code had SEVERAL argish qualities, even as a book.
Sure, there was the online mini game that bordered on an ARG. But there was also hidden messages ALL OVER the place in the book-- even in the plost summary in the jacket cover, bold letters spelled out a secret code, coordinates were hidden on the spine...
As far as it goes, I htink there will be plenty of fascinating stuff in the trailer. And maybe Dan Brown will even go so far as to make an ARG............ but it might be a lot of red herrings. Here's hoping!

Hmm. Loved the concept of The Da Vinci Code; hated the execution (do your bloody research, for crying out loud!).

An ARG could totally redeem it for me.
