Angels and Demons

Posted by James Hughes May 28, 2006

Sony Pictures is already developing Dan Brown's "Angels & Demons" despite the critical mauling for The Da Vinci Code.

Will it be a case of second time lucky? They may actually be on to a winner, since they cannot possibly make a film worse than the current one.

The best selling book centres around a conspiracy in the Vatican, and for many readers is a more plausible story than it's famous sequel. So if the film sticks to the same route, critics may cover it with approving words. At least that's what Sony is hoping for.

The two main people responsible for making The Da Vinci Code so bad, Ron Howard, and Tom Hanks, have not confirmed their interest in Angels and Demons. Sony will be hoping that situation never changes.
