Subject: Hollywood writers' strike hits Da Vinci Code prequel
Written By: Philip Eno on 11/18/07 at 1:56 pm
A follow-up to The Da Vinci Code has become the first big-screen casualty of the Hollywood writers' strike.
Angels & Demons, a prequel to the movie adaptation of Dan Brown's novel, is being delayed by Columbia Pictures because its script needs more work.
It had been due for release around Christmas 2008, but has now been pencilled in for May 2009.
Writers walked off the job nearly two weeks ago in a row over royalties for their work on DVDs and the internet.
They are due to reopen negotiations with their studios on 26 November.

With one exception (the bit near the start where an extracted eye is used to fool a retinal scan - a pointless bit of graphic violence which wouldn't work), Angels and Demons is a far, far better book than Da Vinci Code (haven't seen the film, though). If a bit similar (though seeing as it was written first, this shouldn't be held against it).
