Tom Hanks and Ron Howard Will Be Back for Dan Brown's INFERNO
The adventures of Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon will continue on the big screen with a feature film adaptation of Dan Brown's most recent novel Inferno. Sony Pictures has decided to skip the third book, The Lost Symbol, and make this one first. They'll eventually get around to making the latter though. It's also been confirmed that Tom Hanks will be back to star, and Ron Howard is coming back to direct!
They set the release date for December 18th, 2015, and David Koepp is adapting the screenplay. I enjoyed the first two movies, although they aren't the best work from Howard or Hanks. The books have always been better, and I suspect these other films will turn out the same way.
Here's the official description of the book:
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.
Are you excited that Hanks and Howard are teaming back up to adapt this book into a movie?
