#WATCH THE DA VINCI CODE SERIES#
Angels & Demons had, of course, actually been the first Langdon novel set before The Da Vinci Code.Īnd to keep up that streak of chronologically confused adaptations, the upcoming series – which will simply be titled Langdon – will be tweaking The Lost Symbol to be a prequel to the films, focusing on a younger Robert Langdon. Sony had originally been developing a feature film adaptation of The Lost Symbol to follow-up on Angels & Demons before changing tack and skipping to an adaptation of the fourth book, Inferno, instead. The series, if it gets beyond the pilot stage, will be based on The Lost Symbol, which was chronologically the third Langdon book.
The pilot script was then completed by The Crossing creators Dan Dworkin and Jay Beattie, to which NBC gave a green light.
The upcoming series adaptation has been in development since at least last year when Constantine co-creator Daniel Cerrone penned an early draft before departing. With those kinds of numbers, it comes as a bit of a surprise that a new feature film adaptation isn’t on the cards instead. Despite that potent combo, the films have admittedly all been rather tepid, but they did earn a combined $1.4 billion worldwide off just a $350 million total budget though.
