Die hard fans of Brown’s works, however, will realize that by fast-forwarding to Inferno, Howard and Hanks overlooked the third book in the Robert Langdon timeline — the D.C.-set The Lost Symbol from 2009 — and I wondered if there was a reason.
It has been a decade since director Ron Howard and his leading man, Tom Hanks, started deciphering author Dan Brown’s literary puzzles for the big screen.
Starting with The Da Vinci Code in 2006, the Robert Langdon series extended through Angels & Demons and continues later this month with Inferno, and adaptation of the most recent Brown adventure that sends Hanks on a mission through Florence, Italy to stop a global terrorist.
