QIs it true that the British Version has a censored audio track?
AThe distributors of The Da Vinci Code approached the BBFC with a rough cut of the film, asking for advice on what rating the film was likely to receive when it was completed. The BBFC suggested the film would likely be a 15, and so to attract a wider audience, the distributors made some cuts to the film in order to obtain a 12 rating. Because the censored scenes in question offer little by way of visual material, the BBFC instructed that reductions be made to the film's sound effects, which were making the violence more impactful.

QWhy did Silas want the Holy Grail?
AWho wouldn't want the Holy Grail? People have been searching for it for the past 2,000 years. Actually, Silas didn't want it for himself but for a person that he calls "the Teacher." Or just to destroy it; given the fact that the church had tried to deny its existence for the past 2,000 years, it would even be better for its leaders if the Grail did not exist at all anymore.
QIs "The Da Vinci Code" based on a book?
AYes. The Da Vinci Code is based on a 2003 novel of the same name by American author Dan Brown. The novel was adapted for the movie by American screenwriter Akiva Goldsman. It was followed by Angels & Demons (2009), based on another of Brown's novels.
