Sony makes Da Vinci sequel

Tue 23 May 3:00 PM

Swap Opus Dei for Illuminati and instead of exposing Jesus as a family man, try blowing up the Pope in the Vatican - and you have the plot of Dan Brown's follow up to The Da Vinci Code.

After making in excess of $230 million this weekend, it's hardly surprising that movie bosses are already planning their next move following the success of The Da Vinci Code.

Sony has recommissioned writer Akiva Goldsman to adapt Brown's first Robert Langdon adventure bestseller, Angels & Demons.

But he won't have too much work on his hands, as the similar plots both see Langdon trying to solve a murder and uncover a complicated plot amidst a dangerous adventure.

No doubt tempted by lucrative offers from Sony's executives expect producer Brian Grazer to sign up again.
