I'll freely admit that the Robert Langdon books by Dan Brown are exponentially better than the movies. While I didn't think The Da Vinci Code was that bad, Angels & Demons didn't translate to film well at all. But despite all that the films made money and the studio is going forward with a third Robert Langdon adventure....just not the one you might be expecting.
"Deadline" reports that director Ron Howard and Tom Hanks will both be back for Inferno scheduled to release December 15th, 2015. This is the fourth and most recent book in the Robert Langdon adventures by Dan Brown. It actually complete bypasses the third book which was The Lost Symbol. Apparently, the studio wants to make that film after the Inferno.
Here's a brief synopsis:
In the heart of Italy, Harvard professor of symbology Robert Langdon is drawn into a harrowing world centered on one of history’s most enduring and mysterious literary masterpieces... Dante’s Inferno. Against this backdrop, Langdon battles a chilling adversary and grapples with an ingenious riddle that pulls him into a landscape of classic art, secret passageways, and futuristic science. Drawing from Dante’s dark epic poem, Langdon races to find answers and decide whom to trust... before the world is irrevocably altered.
I recently read the novel and enjoyed it quite a bit although it's definitely the weakest of the four. Hopefully this one will translate better to the big screen.
Tom Hanks can next be seen as Walt Disney in the film Saving Mr. Banks due December 13. Ron Howard's next directorial effort is Rush which hits theaters September 27th.
