As the "The Da Vinci Code" movie sets to open in theaters worldwide this week, it is generating even more controversy and criticism than the hugely successful novel on which it is based.
Surprisingly, the movie was previewed at the Cannes Film Festival this week with numerous critics panning the film.
Despite its critics, the "Da Vinci Code" - directed by Ron Howard and starring Tom Hanks - may still turn out to be a billion-dollar blockbuster for Hollywood.
And many Christians see the book and movie as nothing more than big cash for blasphemy.
NewsMax Magazine will soon be releasing its special report "The Da Vinci Con" authored by James Hirsen, columnist for NewsMax's Left Coast Report and author of The New York Times best-selling books "Hollywood Nation: Left Coast Lies, Old Media Spin, and the New Media Revolution" and "Tales from the Left Coast: True Stories of Hollywood Stars and Their Outrageous Politics."
NewsMax's "The Da Vinci Con" exposes the historical lies both the movie and the book are based upon – including claims that Jesus fathered a child, his descendants live today, and the Catholic Church will do anything to keep this a secret – including murder.
Many Christian leaders tell NewsMax that "The Da Vinci Code" is nothing less than an effort to torpedo Christianity and the historical underpinnings of the Christian faith.
As NewsMax's report shows, some surveys have found that many readers of the fictional book have taken its claims literally.
The "Da Vinci Con" edition of NewsMax Magazine gives you the other side of the story that major media won't report.
