Columbia to film Code sequel

2009-04-22 14:23

Los Angeles - The sequel to the smash mystery The Da Vinci Code should make it onto the big screen in a hurry as symbologist Robert Langdon's adventures have already been made into two hit films, industry press reported on Tuesday.

On Monday his publisher said US author Dan Brown's latest book "The Lost Symbol" would be published in the US in September with a first run of five million.

The Da Vinci Code novel was a bestseller in 2004 and was outsold only by JK Rowling's Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

Brown's hit Code novel is based in part around the idea that Jesus had a child with Mary Magdalene, drawing fire from the Vatican.

Columbia, a branch of Sony, has already taken an option on The Lost Symbol and was expected to pick it up shortly, the industry insider Variety magazine said.

Brought to the screen in 2006 by director Ron Howard, the Da Vinci Code film was an international box office hit that netted $750m.
