From Digg: Rights to Dan Brown’s book, released in 2000, were purchased by the studio in 2003. Screenwriter Akiva Goldsman was hired to adapt the novel, following the success of The Da Vinci Code in early 2006. Hanks reportedly signed on with the “biggest salary ever paid to an actor in the history of Hollywood.”
As some of you may know, I’m a huge fan of Dan Brown’s work and this book (Angels & Demons) was my favorite one of all. That said, I just hope they don’t do a complete hack-job on it like they did with The Da Vinci Code. Unfortunately I feel it will ultimately suffer the same fate since Dan Brown’s books are SO intensive that you just can’t cover all the aspects of it properly in a 2-3 hour movie. Either way, I’m glad to see that they giving it a shot and at least they got Hanks back as Dr. Langdon again. Here’s hoping I’m wrong it’s actually a good movie.
