The Norman Rockwell Code

Another conspiracy - but this one's for real.  It's "The Norman Rockwell Code."

Here's the Trailer.

:) Yes... parodies often are the most affective way to speak out against something.

I am Michael Walsh -- the actor who portrayed Langdon Fife in THE NORMAN ROCKWELL CODE.
I respond specifically to the above comment. Yes, parodies are indeed an effective way to speak out against "something." I agree. But, we (the film-makers) originally called the film, "un homage" to Dan Brown's books, since Alfred Thomas Catalfo (Fred) and I are fans. Legally, we were advised to refer to our project as a "spoof" or "parody" -- since these are protected legally in our First Amendment.
I still pay homage, personally, to my (near)neighbor, author Dan Brown. (I hail from Dover, NH; he lives currently in Rye, NH -- a twenty minute drive.) Not a large issue; just a word of clarification.
Thanks! Hope you chuckle. That's why we made it...by the way: there is a graphic homage to one of my personal comic heroes at the end of the film. The graphics read, "Dedicated to the comic spirit of Donald Jesse Knotts -- 1924 - 2006."
We thought that fitting, since the film wouldn't exist without his image and (verbal) likness.
Thanks!

Hysterically funny. I hope Ron Howard doesn't lead a boycott of the film.

I just saw the film tonight in Portsmouth, NH. It was really funny and actually managed to create an intricate "code" from Norman Rockwell paintings, of course in a humorous way. Mike Walsh, you were great!
