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.”

We just watched Tom Cruise doing an interview today promoting his latest movie, “Valkyrie”, and were wondering why he’s looking so thin – what’s the poop? Observation only, that has nothing to do with the movie…

Tom Cruise stars in the suspense film, “Valkyrie,” based on the true story of Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg (Cruise) and the daring and ingenious plot to eliminate one of the most evil tyrants the world has ever known.

The movie opened Christmas Day, and was directed by Bryan Singer (The Usual Suspects, X-Men).

So what are the reviews?
RottenTomatoes: 63% Fresh

Over on Yahoo Movies, the users give it a B, while the average of the critics was a B-. And Roger Ebert gave it three stars, saying it is “a meticulous thriller based on a large-scale conspiracy within the German army to assassinate Hitler.”

A lot tougher over at the LA Times:
“Valkyrie’ to ‘Heil Razzies’? Looks like the Razzies are confident in their prophesy that “Valkyrie” will land in their next derby, which commences on Jan. 21 when noms are unveiled. Last year the Razzie ceremony ended with big photos on stage of films they expect to see next year. Tom Cruise in that eyepatch got the biggest play – and the most howls, guffaws and applause from the audience.”

Director: Bryan Singer
Screenwriters: Nathan Alexander, Christopher McQuarrie

Twilight Scores at the Box Office

The teenage girls turned out in full force this weekend, and propelled the big screen adaptation of the first of Stephenie Meyer’s popular vampire books to the top spot at the box office, with an estimated $70.5 million in ticket sales.

Playing one of the leads as Edward, has also established Robert Pattinson as a bonafide heart throb to that seething mass of female consumers, who know what they like and know what they want…

The movie also established a record for Catherine Hardwicke (“Thirteen“, “Lords of Dogtown” and “The Nativity Story“) as the biggest opening ever for a female director. The opening also was the fourth-biggest ever for the month of November.

With the success of this first film, the sequels are already in the works – the next 2 books in the series – 2006′s New Moon (2006) and last year’s Eclipse – will be shot back-to-back with director Catherine Hardwicke and stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson returning.
