Tom Hanks played Langdon in both The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons but fans of the franchise shouldn't get their hopes up quite yet as Risky Business also reports that Hanks isn't confirmed to reprise his role, nor is Ron Howard (director of both Da Vinci and Angels) confirmed to direct the third film. The book was an instant best-seller, selling a whopping million+ copies on its first day alone (yowza!). trying to decode the symbols of the Freemasons. The Lost Symbol sees the hero of Brown's literary franchise, Robert Langdon, back to solve more deep-rooted mysteries - this time he's in Washington, D.C. Perhaps Brown wants to ensure that The Lost Symbol movie ends up as faithful to his novel as possible and what better way to make sure of that than to write the adaptation himself? Whereas this will mark the first time Brown has tried his hand at scriptwriting. It focuses on a young Robert Langdon, when he is in the early part of his career as a symbology professor at Harvard University (which also serves as an explanation for the absence of Tom Hanks). It seems strange since Knight has a fair bit of experience in scriptwriting, particularly winning praise for his uncompromising and compelling Eastern Promises screenplay. The TV version of The Lost Symbol novel is a prequel to the events that transpire in the film versions of The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons. Risky Business has the exclusive on Brown taking on The Lost Symbol screenplay but there's no mention of why the studio isn't going with Knight's draft. ![]()
