Hip New Spin on Da Vinci Code

Pacific Palisades ~ Palisadian-Post:

“There have been a few different specials on ‘The Da Vinci Code’ that have that A&E-Biography pace,” Carr said. “Our show isn’t like that at all.”

Carr, who co-directed and co-produced the program with his Beantown partner David Comtois, said they wanted to produce an hour-long special with a younger, hipper spin than other “Da Vinci” documentaries.

“It’s not your father’s ‘Da Vinci Code’ show,” Carr said. “It’s really fast, and the information still comes through. We try to make it more visually stimulating and more accessible to a wider, younger audience.”

Titled “Da Vinci Declassified,” the documentary takes an oftentimes comedic look at Brown’s assertions about the Priory of Sion, a secret religious society in “The Da Vinci Code” that protects the secret of the Holy Grail. On its second page, the book states the Priory of Sion was founded in 1099 and that it is a real organization.

“We wanted to see if it was true, so we went to the real locations and investigated,” Carr said. “We actually found that it is not true.”

About three years too late.
