The book is primarily about pseudo historical conspiracy theories which became popular through books from the 1980s as the Holy Blood and the Holy Grail by Michael Baigent c.s. Brown received the nickname "the Umberto Eco for the common man" by, because Eco in Foucault's pendulum somewhat related themes in a novel processed. ====Film<span class="mw-editsection" len="320" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] ==== <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">The Da Vinci Code was made into a film under the same title in 2006 by Director Ron Howard, with Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou in lead roles. Critics, however, the movie, which creaked 750 million brought up. Brown and his wife are to see themselves as an extra in the film. Brown composed a part of film music and can be heard as a singer.

<p lang="en" len="463" style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">Also the book Angels and Demons was filmed and is released in theaters in may 2009 again with Tom Hanks in the lead role. ====Lawsuits<span class="mw-editsection" len="327" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] ==== <p lang="en" len="163" style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">Brown was accused of plagiarism by both the novelist Lewis Perdue as Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh, non-fiction writers about the Grail.

<p lang="en" len="49" style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">The indictment of Perdue was unfounded.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">Brown appeared before the second case in February 2006 for the UK Court. Baigent and Richard Leigh accused Brown of it to have their ideas taken from the book that she and co-author Henry Lincoln wrote and was published by Random House that as well. They demanded 15 million euros in damages. Brown himself has earned an estimated more than 300 million to its successful books. There are more references to the book of Baigent and Leigh. So used Brown in the Da Vinci Code "Sir Leigh Hanouta" as name for the villain, what is a anagram of the surnames of the two authors of the earlier work. In addition, he lets the character Hanouta limp, just like Lincoln. In april 2006, the accusation of copyright infringement however groundless explained. Otherwise fiction writers in general get problems if they are non-fiction-books as inspiration and source use.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">Justice in this plagiarism thing, Peter Smith, had its own "code" hidden in his pronunciation. A number of letters in the text was in italics and formed as the code. The letters in the first paragraphs pins "smithy code";the rest was: "jaeiextostgpsacgreamqwfkadpmqzv". A lawyer from London decoded this to "Jackie Fisher who are you Dreadnought" (lett: Jackie Fisher who are you, daredevil), a reference to a British Admiral.Dreadnought is the name of a ship that at the time of the process launched 150 years ago. ==Criticism<span class="mw-editsection" len="323" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">Brown is considered by many as anti-Christian because of the Da Vinci Code. In the us the film fell bad by the implicit criticism of the Catholic Church and the story about the descendants of Jesus and Mary Magdalene. According to his website is Brown a Christian. ==Discography<span class="mw-editsection" len="327" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == ==Bibliography<span class="mw-editsection" len="328" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == ==Bestselling 60<span class="mw-editsection" len="329" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] ==
