Have we learned nothing from the sub-par performance of Angels & Demons? Da Vinci Code author Dan Brown recently released another book in his religious novel series entitled, The Lost Symbol and guess who’s already read it? Tom Hanks, the star of the two film adaptations told MTV that he loved the book, and is ready to reprise his role as Robert Langdon in a Lost Symbol film.
As May approaches the studios are pushing out the promotional materials for many of their summer tent pole films. This week alone has been dominated by clips and posters, from Paramount’s Star Trek so it’s no surprise that Sony Pictures wanted to make a push for their Da Vinci Code sequel, Angels & Demons. A video clip has been released that features returning lead Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) as he tries to convince the leaders of the Vatican to allow him access to the church’s archives. In typical Da Vinci Code fashion, the swelling music in the background screams, “we’re running out of time!” Isn’t it convenient this clip was released on Good Friday?

Let the protests begin! A new TV spot has been released for this summer’s Angels & Demons. The film is the sequel to the 2006 blockbuster the Da Vinci Code and will once again team director Ron Howard with lead Tom Hanks. The first film grossed a hefty 758 million after it’s theater run. This film along with its predecessor has been targeted by the Catholic Church and several other religious organizations due to its holy content. From what I’ve seen in the past with projects such as this and The Passion of the Christ, their involvement only brings more attention to the film. It just makes people want to know what the hoopla is all about.
