The Da Vinci Code Prequel Shut Down Due to Writer's Strike
The Vatican-set thriller was scheduled to begin shooting in February, with Ron Howard at the direct.
The studio had set a Christmas 2008 release date and is now shooting for May 15, 2009.
"While the filmmakers and the studio feel the screenplay is very strong, we do not believe it is the fully realized production draft required of this ambitious project," a Sony spokesperson said.
Angels & Demons was released May 15th, 2009 and stars Tom Hanks, Ewan McGregor, Ayelet Zurer, Stellan Skarsgård, Pierfrancesco Favino, Nikolaj Lie Kaas, Armin Mueller-Stahl, Thure Lindhardt. The film is directed by Ron Howard.

Hans was going to take break. I think he will decide to work on this film again regardless of that

Thank god the studios realize that sometimes it's more important to create a quality product rather than throw crap together for a quick buck.

Stink bomb? This was a much better book than Da Vinci Code. I have full faith it will be great when it comes out.

Whoa, I'm concerned now. Hans Zimmer was supposed to come back and score this for Howard since he did The Da Vinci Code, but he was planning on taking 2009 off. Now i'm worried. No Zimmer score is a huge deal.
