Eurostar sets Guinness World Record with The Da Vinci Code cast
The cast and filmmakers of Columbia Pictures’ The Da Vinci Code today helped Eurostar set a Guinness World Record for the longest non-stop international train journey. The record was set as the Eurostar train arrived in Cannes, with the cast and filmmakers onboard, for the start of the Cannes Film Festival.
The Eurostar journey, which took 7 hours 25 minutes, started in London at 09.40 London time this morning, after stars Tom Hanks, Audrey Tautou and director Ron Howard, had named the train “The Da Vinci Code.” It is the first time a Eurostar has made the journey with travellers from London to Cannes, and the longest non-stop high-speed journey in the world, with a distance of 1421km.
An official from Guinness World Records certified the record-breaking run and confirmed the record distance during a presentation on arrival at Cannes station.
The Da Vinci Code will be released worldwide on May 19 2006.
