    • Abstract:
      This article reports on the making of the film "The Da Vinci Code." The film version of the book of the same title is directed by Ron Howard and stars Tom Hanks. French President Jacques Chirac helped the filmmakers gain permission to shoot some scenes in the Louvre. Chirac also suggested that they cast his daughter's best friend, an actress of some acclaim in France, in the role of Sophie Neveu, the elegant young cryptographer at the heart of the book's mystery.
