Sony Pictures vs. Opus Dei
Uh-oh, I think someone just got pissed.
Apparently, Opus Dei, a Catholic sect with strong ties to the Vatican and the very group mentioned in the ever-popular novel, ‘’The Da Vinci Code,'’ is not happy with the way Sony Pictures portrayed them in the upcoming film about the said book.
The movie about Dan Brown’s infamous book is scheduled to premiere on May 17, and with that date fast approaching, Opus Dei is asking for Sony Pictures to add a disclaimer to the movie.
A disclaimer?!? C’mon, these guys gotta be kidding.
What about that Blair Witch film / documentary or whatever, they didn’t need ANY disclaimer at all… Paving the way for them to literally fool the viewing public. And yes, yours truly was one of ‘em.
Opus Dei, a small Catholic sect with strong ties to the Vatican, sent a letter earlier this month to the distributor to counter the novel and presumably the film version’s depiction of the group as a secretive cabal of murderous monks who drug people, lie and steal to achieve wealth and power in the name of God. – E!

Opus Dei’s information officer in Japan, Seizo Inahata, said, ‘’Such a decision by Sony would be a gesture of respect toward Jesus Christ, the history of the Church and the religious beliefs of viewers.'’
Yeah right. Sure. Whatever.
What is this group, Opus Dei, afraid of anyway? All they’re doing is hype up the film until May 17. Jeez… With these developments, I myself can’t wait to see this already controversial movie.
