Columbia sees a 'Symbol'
By Adnan Tezer Feb 5, 2010, 18:49 GMT
Columbia Pictures is pushing ahead with Dan Brown’s "The Lost Symbol," the third film in the "Da Vinci Code" franchise.
British writer Steven Knight has been hired to adapt.
Knight, whose writing credits include "Dirty Pretty Things," also wrote drafts of two upcoming films: Martin Scorsese's "Shutter Island" and "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader."
"Symbol" finds Robert Langdon in Washington, D.C. as he attempts to decode the symbols of the Freemasons.
According to Variety, Tom Hanks, who played Langdon in "The Da Vinci Code" and "Angels and Demons," has not yet committed to reprise the role.
Imagine’s Brian Grazer and John Calley will produce.
While "The Da Vinci Code" grossed $758 million worldwide in 2006, "Angels and Demons" fell short of that mark last year with a $486 million worldwide gross.
