Tom Hanks will return as Dr. Robert Langdon in Angels & Demons. Ron Howard return as the director and this time, he is bringing Naomi Watts with him to star as Vittoria Vetra.
Angels & Demons is Dan Brown’s third novel in which Robert Langdon, a Harvard symbologist, tries to solve a murder and prevent a terrorist act against the Vatican. Vittoria Vetra’s murdered father, a brilliant scientist, had created the world’s most powerful energy source and it has fallen into the wrong hands.
Shooting will start in June of 2008 and the movie is slated for release on 15th May 2009. If you have not read the book, I strongly suggest you do, it is said to be even better than DaVinci Code.
Da Vinci Code was one of the biggest payouts for book rights. Wonder how much this one cost?
My husband will be glad to know this movie is in the works. He has the book, maybe I should read it.
I always wondered if this book was any good. I didn’t read The DaVinci Code because of all the hype it just annoyed me so much. But I have heard others mention this book but didn’t realise it was a character series with Langdon as the hero. Cheers.
