HANKS SLAMS DA VINCI CODE CRITICS

TOM HANKS has admonished critics of his new movie THE DA VINCI CODE of making "a very big mistake".

The actor hit out at the Catholic backlash the film has received ahead of its worldwide release next week (19MAY06), insisting it is much more than a religious rant.

He says, "We always knew there would be a segment of society that would not want this movie to be shown.

"But the story we tell is loaded with all sorts of hooey and fun kind of scavenger-hunt-type nonsense.

"If you are going to take any sort of movie at face value, particularly a huge-budget motion picture like this, you'd be making a very big mistake.

"It's a damn good story and a lot of fun... all it is is dialogue. That never hurts."
