Oh good lord...

I'm scared.

'Angels & Demons' to be film
LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) - Buoyed by the box-office success of "The Da Vinci Code," Columbia Pictures is planning to turn author Dan Brown's first best-selling religious thriller, "Angels & Demons," into a movie, the studio said Tuesday.

The Sony Corp.-owned film distributor has signed a deal with Oscar-winning screenwriter Akiva Goldman, who adapted "Da Vinci Code" for the big screen, to create a script for a sequel based on "Angels & Demons," a Columbia spokesman said.

"Angels," a bestseller published in 2000, was Brown's first novel to introduce the character of Robert Langdon, the crime-solving Harvard professor of iconography and religious art played by actor Tom Hanks in the "The Da Vinci Code."

A studio spokesman confirmed a report in Daily Variety that no deals have yet been reached for Hanks or "Da Vinci" director Ron Howard to return for the "Angels" project, but that both would have first crack at the new film.

Sigh...
