Sony has officially embarked on a journey to recreate the success of The Da Vinci Code. Screenwriter Akiva Goldsman has signed on to adapt Dan Brown’s precursor novel, Angels & Demons, for a cool US$4 million. A lot of people are reporting that’s the highest price ever paid up front for a screenplay. That’s a whole lot of moolah just for an adaptation of an existing book, and looking at what he and Ron Howard did to The Da Vinci Code, I’m thinking it’s about US$4 million too much!
No word yet on whether or not Tom Hanks and Ron Howard have signed on for Angels & Demons but I’m sure they will soon enough. Sony is hoping to have it ready for sometime in 2008.
