June 17, 2008: "Tom Hanks' Church Ban"
Tom Hanks has been banned from filming in Roman churches, he is currently shooting 'Angels and Demons' - the prequel to 'The Da Vinci Code' - with director Ron Howard, but Rome church officials have ruled they cannot stage scenes in two of the city's places of worship. A spokesperson for the Catholic Church said they had immediately declined the requests to film in Santa Maria del Popolo and Santa Maria della Vittoria churches because the movies challenge Catholic beliefs. Church official Monsignor Marco Fibbi said: "It's a film that treats religious issues in a way that contrasts with common religious sentiment. We would be helping them create a work that might well be beautiful but that does not conform to our views." The movie's crew have been granted permission to film the churches exteriors. *** Actor Tom Hanks pictures and photo gallery. Birth name:Thomas Jeffrey Hanks.
