"Suppress" is probably a loaded word. Unquestionably, some books made it into the Bible while others, particularly the Gnostic writings, did not. And it is true that many books that were not accepted as canonical were ignored or even condemned as teaching false doctrine. Whether this constitutes "suppression" of the unaccapted writings or "consensus" as to what writings were authoritative and dismissal of the rest may be point of view.
But Brown takes even a "suppression" point of view way too far, because he states that Constantine, when he "upgraded" Jesus' "status," basically created a new Bible and destroyed all evidence of the "old" Bible. Unfortunately for Brown, the historical evidence doesn't support his theory at all.
How about Natalie Portman as Sophie?
