“Da Vinci Code” Sequel In Works
According to Variety:
Columbia has formalized a February start in Europe for “Angels & Demons,” the Ron Howard-directed sequel to “The Da Vinci Code” that will be released in December 2008.
Tom Hanks will reprise his role as Robert Langdon.
The film guarantees a manic year for Howard, who will be multi-tasking to get the picture done. Howard will shoot “Angels & Demons” as he supervises editing and post-production on the screen adaptation of the Peter Morgan play “Frost/Nixon.” That film, which Howard wrapped shooting last week, has tentatively been slotted for a late 2008 release.
This means Howard could have a double-pronged post-production schedule and will have two high-profile projects opening in a relatively short time.
