The adaptation of Dan Brown's best-selling thriller, "Inferno," will be on the big screen in 2015.
MSN reports that Sony will release the blockbuster Dec. 18, 2015.
David Koepp has been hired to turn the novel into a script. He adapted “Angels & Demons," based on Brown’s novel of the same name, back in 2009. Although a director still has not been announced, Tom Hanks is attached to the role of Robert Langdon, according to LATimes.
Even though the novel was only released back in May, it's already topping best-seller list, such as USAToday's list of best-selling books of 2013. "Inferno" is the fourth Robert Langdon installment which follows the Harvard professor through Italy along with his companion, Sienna, in an attempt to stop a villain who threatens to unleash a plague. Clues from "The Inferno," Dante's 14th-century poem about hell, are left behind for the heroes to find and solve.
According to TheHollywoodReporter, "The Da Vinci Code" took in $758 million around the world when it was released back in 2006. The second film, “Angels & Demons,” dropped in box office sales, making $486 million worldwide. The next film will skip over the third Dan Brown novel, "The Lost Symbol," in the Robert Langdon series.
