Interesting facts

The Norman Rockwell Code is a 2006 parody of the 2003 Dan Brown novel The Da Vinci Code and the 2006 film of the same name. The plot is ridiculously exaggerated in an attempt to mock the Da Vinci Code. The movie was listed on the June 2, 2006 issue of Entertainment Weekly's "The Must List."

Production

The film was directed and produced by Alfred Thomas Catalfo, who also wrote and starred. It had a budget of approximately $5,000. As the 2006 film was at the time unreleased, Catalfo based the script on the novel under the assumption that the Howard production would closely follow the book's plot. Filming began in February 2006 in Kittery and York in Maine, as well as Dover, New Hampshire, and wrapped on March 19 of the same year.
