Members Sylph Posted October 25, 2007 Members Share Posted October 25, 2007 Angels & Demons to Start Filming in February Source: Variety October 25, 2007 Just yesterday, the Los Angeles Times published an article talking about how Akiva Goldsman is writing non-stop to finish the script for The Da Vinci Code sequel Angels & Demons before the writers strike is expected to happen on Nov. 1. Now, Variety adds that Columbia Pictures has set a February start date for the film, again to be directed by Ron Howard for a December 19, 2008 release. The trade says the production has begun casting around Tom Hanks, who will reprise his role as Robert Langdon. Hanks' character, a Harvard-based expert on religious symbols, this time sleuths a mystery that involves a secret society and a conspiracy that leads to Vatican City and threatens the future of the Catholic Church. Dan Brown wrote "Angels & Demons" prior to "The Da Vinci Code," but after the first film grossed $218 million domestic and $758 million worldwide, the studio made a deal with Goldsman to turn the earlier novel into a sequel.

Members Shawn Posted October 25, 2007 Members Share Posted October 25, 2007 I actually LOVED the book. I couldn't put it down. Hopefully this movie won't suck as bad as the Da Vince Code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pest Spray Posted October 25, 2007 Members Share Posted October 25, 2007 YAY! DaVinci Code can't even be compared to Angels & Demons because A&D is just so much better. It's an amazing book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
