Robert Langdon returns to unveil Freemason mysteries in Lost Symbol | Movie News
LOST SYMBOL, the third film in the Da Vinci Code franchise, is now beginning to gear up. The mystery thriller novel by Dan Brown, from which the film will be based on, sold over a million copies its first day. Will the adaptation be as successful?
Who knows? According to Variety, Tom Hanks "has not yet committed to reprise the role" of Robert Langdon, "though he is expected to." Will it hinge on Ron Howard's involvement? Variety only states that Howard is on in a producer capacity. Definitely on board, however, is British screenwriter Steven Knight (EASTERN PROMISES) who will adapt the story which "finds [protagonist] Robert Langdon summoned to Washington, D.C., where he begins decoding the symbols of the Freemasons."
Freemasonry is a fraternity with origins back in the late 16th century that have always remained rather unclear. They tend to be seen as a secret society and are the center of about a million different conspiracy theories. Do a Google search and see for yourself. Some of it is pretty interesting, most of it rather ridiculous.

The Lost Symbol wan't bad, and what cracked me up is that he approached Freemasonry from both angles. The side that Freemasonry is a high society charitible organization that's mostly symbolic and more about promoting brother hood and giving a hand up to the next generation of rich fucks, even though lower classes may join as well, it's more difficult. He also tackles it from the crazy conspiracy theory side, with the villian, who has convinced himself that he gain superpowers from them. It's quite funny actually that the conspiracy thoerists are villianized in the novel, when really they are just sad fucks with no life.
