Is This Really Necessary?

davincicode.jpg

Tom Hanks is making a sequel to the tepidly-received DaVinci Code.

Why?????

Naomi Watts has also been cast in the film, a "prequel" of sorts.

The movie, being directed by Ron Howard, should be released in 2009.

      Dan Brown's book Angels & Demons, with the same main character as Da Vinci Code was a great, great book - almost, if not as good as Da Vinci Code. i'm looking forward to the movie! it's better than the predictable romantic comedies and other crap that's out there.

      I agree with everyone who already said this but yes, there was a prequel written by Dan Brown called Angels and Demons. So obviously that would be what they are making, if you took time to read the book or even double check that there was one then you would know this. I love you perez but seriously, come on.

      The "prequel" is actually the book that was written first, that is, "The Da Vinci Code" came AFTER "Angels and Demons". And, truth be told, "Angels and Demons" is a better book than Da Vinci. Seriously.

      ACTUALLY perez, it's probably based on the book Angels & Demons, written by the same guy which was a prequel of sorts to the da vinci code, as in it took place before it, ,,,,,,, AND it was a much better book than the da vinci code… i can't wait!!!!

      AS USUAL, PEREZ HAS HIS FACTS WRONG. The Da Vinci Code movie has pulled in $217,650,000 (US total) to date. This movie was obviously not tepidly received, but successful enough to warrant a sequel. AS USUAL, PEREZ TALKS OUT OF HIS ASS.

      Silly Perez, don't you read? The Da Vinci code is a sequel itself, it's prequel was Angels and Demons which was the better book of the two, AND the author is writing another Robert Langdon book.

      Do your research, love.

      It's probably based on Angels and Demon, which is a great book, and therefore YES it is necessary.

      112

      It is called Angels and Demons, and I think the book is a lot better than The Da Vinci Code.

      115

      Um, the events in Angels and Demons take place a full 18 months before the events in DiVinci Code, AND are even referenced in DiVinci Code!! I read DC first, then went back and read A&D, and BOTH books are amazingly wonderful!!! All of Dan Brown's books are fantastic, so that's AMAZING news that Steph brought to the table that I hadn't heard…he's writing another Robert Langdon story. I can't wait!

      116

      angels and demons is actually a better story than davinci code. it was announced a long time ago…when da vinci code actually came out. the only reason da vinci code was made first is because of all the publicity it got with the lawsuit made it more popular. come on perez…keep up with the news.

      117

      oh jesus. this is way old, but now that it's getting closer i'm scared. i only hope the movie is made more true to the book this time around, and that the history channel and a&e don't try to jump on the cashcow and run specials on the real deal for weeks and weeks. they're good books.. the first movie was terrible in comparison. hopefully ron howard can do this one justice.

      I liked the DaVinci Code movie. However, if you didn't read the book or don't know about religious history it would have been difficult to understand. I am a history buff so I really liked this book and Angels & Demons.

      119

      yes, this is old news. but you obviously haven't read the da vinci code or angels and demons because they are the shit. there are no other words. and i, for one, am totally stoked about the second movie.

      120

      The reason that film is being made is because there is already a book out from the same author. It is call angels and deamons.

      121

      Yeah, "Angels and Demons" is the prequil to the novel.
      They've been planning to make it into a movie
      for a while.. it's a better book than Da Vinci Code :]

      124

      Wow, old news, but I thought Angels and Demons was a better book than Davinci Code anyhow. Dan Brown also wrote another book about the government and nasa that was even better… something Point. That would make a great movie.

      I have no intention of seeing it of course, but you're off in calling it "tepidly received," Perez, unless you just mean critically. The movie made $757,536,138 worldwide, $217,536,138 of that in the U.S.

    28. wzr says – reply to this


      128

      Glad to see you're getting much deserved criticism for your idiotic remarks. Both books were great, but I'm assuming you don't read much. You just stare at pictures of men you want to be/screw.

      129

      The Davinci Code is a book….did you know that Perez?? And it has a prequel called Angels and Demons….but you don't really seem like the kind of person who has the intellegence to read anything but magazines. I just hope that they do a better job with this one!!

    30. Sez says – reply to this


      130

      Yeah its called Angels and demons - the other BETTER book

    31. you are a complete moron says – reply to this


      131

      You seriously are a retard. Angels and Demons is one of the best books ever written. It kicks the crap out of the DaVinci Code. That said, I am not looking forward to seeing it get sodomized by Hollywood.

      Jesus Christ, though, read a book for once, you degenerate.

      132

      actually..angels and demons is a prequel. and it is an amazing book that i found was better than the davinci code itself. but yeahhh…they announced that they were making that movie in the trailers for the davinci code. old old old.

    33. Saira says – reply to this


      133

      I have read all of Dan Brown's books and, personally, I think that Angels and Demons is the best of all of them. I'm really looking forward to the movie. And for a new book to come out.

      Perez thanks for your site. It keeps me entertained when I feel like falling asleep at my desk!
