Just when you thought Tom Hanks' hair plugs had retired (or at the
very least, transported themselves on to Nicholas Cage) - they're back!
The team behind the global phenomenon The Da Vinci Code returns for the highly anticipated Angels & Demons, based upon the bestselling novel by Dan Brown.
Yep, just like everyone else who jumped on the book bandwagon a couple of years ago - Angels & Demons is set to hit our screens after everyone has already seen/read the book/movie that actually comes before it.
Tom
Hanks reprises his role as Harvard religious expert Robert Langdon
(George Clooney and Hugh Jackman were both originally touted to take on
the role), who once again finds that forces with ancient roots are
willing to stop at nothing - even murder - to advance their
goals.
When Langdon discovers evidence of the resurgence of an ancient secret
brotherhood known as the Illuminati (the most powerful underground
organization in history) he also faces a deadly threat to the
existence of the secret organization's most despised enemy: the
Catholic Church.
When Langdon learns that the clock is ticking on an
unstoppable Illuminati time bomb, he jets to Rome, where he joins
forces with Vittoria Vetra, a beautiful and enigmatic Italian
scientist. Embarking on a nonstop, action-packed hunt through sealed
crypts, dangerous catacombs, deserted cathedrals, and even to the heart
of the most secretive vault on earth, Langdon and Vetra will follow a
400-year-old trail of ancient symbols that mark the Vatican's only hope
for survival.
Ron Howard (who has just finished work on the excellent Frost / Nixon)
again directs the film, which is produced by Brian Grazer, Ron Howard,
and John Calley - with the screenplay by veterans Akiva Goldsman and
David Koepp. Let's face it, The Davinci Code
was a bit of a cinematic let down, so it will be interesting to see if
the movie going public's thirst is still strong for this follow up.
