Vatican officials denied the "Angels & Demons" production the right to shoot inside any of Rome's churches or from entering Vatican City according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Based on the novel by Dan Brown "The Da Vinci Code" prequel sees Professor Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) running into and around churches of Rome trying to stop four cardinals from being assassinated, one every hour, by Illuminati killers
Much of the film's final act takes place within Vatican City and in the catacombs underneath St. Peter's Basilica (pictured).
Diocese of Rome spokesman Father Marco Fibbi: "Traditionally, we read the script, but in this case that was not necessary. The name Dan Brown was enough."
The suits at Sony Pictures had no comment on the decision. Filming began in Rome two weeks ago.
The outcome should come as no surprise really...Given how the church sees the work of Brown as "Sinful". The team already has a back up plan-ready to go...
