Ridiculous.. "kickbacks" even for something like this.. Just last week, my wife and I were wondering how they had gotten permission to film inside the Louvre for the movie!
French President Jacques Chirac allegedly offered to help makers of the film version (supposedly, in keeping with the story, the official movie website of The Da Vinci Code has hidden images, numbers and words in the site's flash introducion), of the widely popular novel, The Da Vinci Code ... but suggested they cast his daughter's best friend in the leading female role, according to Newsweek magazine. The role has gone to a French alright.. but not Chirac's suggestion - unless Audrey Tautou (of Amelie fame) is his daughter's best friend ;)
Meanwhile, elsewhere in France... Rage is only asleep.
