"A third installment already? But this film isn't even out yet."
Not even waiting for the release of the Da Vinci Code’s 2009 sequel, Angels and Demons, Columbia Pictures is already prepping themselves up for a third installment. The Ron Howard directed films are based off of the novels from The Da Vinci Code series, the third installment adapted from the yet-to-be-released “The Lost Symbol” (set to come to bookstores on September 15th).
When Harvard religious expert Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) 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 (Aylet Zurer), 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.
Continuing on with a third movie to the Da Vinci series will end up being Columbia’s second big time worldwide franchise, along with the likes of their Spider-Man series. Angels and Demons is set to release on May 15th in theaters nationwide.
