I wonder if Vatican camerlengo (papal chamberlain) Ewan MacGregor wanted to pull out his lightsaber. In other scenes, Vatican interiors are represented by the Royal Palace of Caserta, which also doubled as the Palace of Naboo in The Phantom Menace.
Peter’s Square in Vatican City, Langdon has to make do with a scale replica built in LA. That’s why, instead of visiting the real St. “I wasn’t aware that episode had endeared me to church authorities,” he replies. Why Langdon? “Your recent involvement in certain … shall we say … mysteries,” is the vague, uncomfortable explanation of the Vatican official who finds him in the Harvard pool where he swims fifty laps a day. I hate it when that happens.Īt least the Church know who to call to try to sort things out: Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks).
It’s definitely the only movie about a conclave held while Vatican City is threatened with imminent annihilation from an antimatter bomb, and four kidnapped papabile - sorry, preferiti - face gruesome executions, ostensibly from an ancient enemy of the Church calling itself the Illuminati.
