Robert Langdon films; Origin next?

Jeez louise, I love these movies and I just realized Origin (the book) exists. So I just started the audiobook (it's a long one!)

I would argue that the TV series was a dud because it wasn't Ron Howard and Tom Hanks!

But sadly you're probably right. The TV show was mediocre at best. It was actually low budget and amateurish at times. Very disappointing.

Given Ron Howard's clout it might just depend on whether or not he's interested enough to do it. Well, he and Tom Hanks, probably. I know they passed on The Lost Symbol because it didn't really offer a compelling enough challenge or reason to put it to film, which I kind of get, but it's a great book, so it's kind of a shame.


I'm hoping Howard and Hanks will pick it back up with Origin at some point. **crosses fingers**
