Opening on May 15, director Ron Howard returns with the second adaptation of Dan Brown’s bestselling novels, “Angels & Demons”. Tom Hanks reprises his role as Harvard religious expert Robert Langdon, who once again finds that forces with ancient roots are willing to stop at nothing, even murder, to advance their goals. This time, it’s the secret brotherhood known as the Illuminati pitted against the Catholic Church, their most despised enemy.

The film is produced by Brian Grazer, Ron Howard, and John Calley, with a screenplay by David Koepp and Akiva Goldsman.

ctv.ca reports that: “Tom Hanks will reportedly surpass his US$25 million-dollar “Da Vinci” paycheque. His rumoured take for “Angels & Demons” falls between US$29 and US$49 million. That makes Hanks the highest-paid actor in Hollywood.”
