Trivia
The close-up shots of the exterior of Rosslyn Chapel are genuine, but the two distant shots of the chapel aren't actually of Rosslyn Chapel. This is because the chapel was swathed in scaffolding when filming took place. The first (overhead) shot looks like a different location entirely, with a chapel that resembles Rosslyn. The second shot, looking up a wooded hillside to the chapel, is indeed a shot of Roslin Glen with the chapel in the right location, but with the other chapel pasted in. The penultimate scene at the ruined castle is indeed filmed at Roslin Castle, a partial-ruin that's a couple of hundred yards from the chapel. It's privately owned, but visitors can easily view the exterior and the bridge which were shown in the film. The chapel is noted for its many internal carvings, including what appears to be a depiction of American maize - but the chapel was completed before 1492.

Right after Silas turns and shoots at Aringarosa he goes up to him. The pistol's slide is open (gun empty)/closed (gun loaded) between shots. Then when he turns to the police, the slide is closed again.

Q
Is it true that the British Version has a censored audio track?
A
The 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. A detailed comparison between the censored British Version and the Uncensored Original Version with pictures can be found here.
Q
Why did Silas want the Holy Grail?
A
Who 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.
Q
Is "The Da Vinci Code" based on a book?
A
Yes. 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.
