Hot off the almighty box-office performance of The Da Vinci Code, Sony has inked the film's scribe, Akiva Goldsman, to pen a screenplay based on author Dan Brown's first religious thriller, Angels & Demons. According to Variety, no deals are in place yet for either Tom Hanks (whose Professor Langdon character appears in both books) or director Ron Howard to return.
Yep. It deals with Illuminati infiltration into the church. It also deals with religion versus science in a big way. There's sure to be grumblings. It's one heckuva thriller though - at least in book form...
It was kind of a drag for me, I was waiting for it to get going and just lost interest. I want to dive back in, and I will, but who knows when. I have a new Harlan Coben book I want to tear into.
HECK said this in post #3 : I can already hear the protests... oh wait, that's still the same protests from Da Vinci Code... nevermind
Actually, I haven't read this one either. I know it deals with the Illuminati. Will this cause a stir with the church as well?
-HECK!
Put it this way, someone will ALWAYS have a reason (be it good or lame) to protest for it. This movie, i think, will have more protestors than TDVC. popes dying and killing cardinals? come on. OF COURSE people are gonna get their knickers in a twist.
i, however, loved the book and can't wait to see the movie.
