Dan Brown Movies In Order

Posted on Thursday, June 6th, 2019 by Hoai-Tran Bui

Hollywood is taking another stab at cracking the code of Dan Brown‘s bestselling Robert Langdon novels. The fictional Harvard 'symbology' professor with an exceptionally bad hairdo is heading to the small screen in the form of a prequel series at NBC. Based on Brown's thriller novel The Lost Symbol, the Langdon TV series will follow a young Robert Langdon during his early adventures as the world's most prominent symbologist.

Dan Brown is an author who for most of us doesn't need an introduction. The Dan Brown books for his Robert Langdon series have sold millions of dollars all over the years, making the author one of the highest-paid authors ever. In fact, in 2018 he was the fifth highest-paid author after James Patterson, J.K. Rowling, Stephen King, and John. Here's The Da Vinci Code movie franchise in chronological order. The Da Vinci Code was the second novel from author Dan Brown to feature his recurring protagonist Robert Langdon, the renowned 'symbologist.' The plot sees Langdon called in to investigate a murder at the Louvre that soon sees him on the run from the police, an albino assassin. American thriller novelist Dan Brown turns 54 today. Although not always finding favour with critics, his books have sold hundreds of millions of copies and Hollywood adaptations have been made of.

Deadline broke the news that NBC has given a production commitment to Langdon, a drama series loosely based on Brown's 2009 novel The Lost Symbol. The series is being written and executive produced by Daniel Cerone (Motive, Constantine) under Imagine Television Studios, the TV arm of Ron Howard and Brian Grazer's Imagine Entertainment. Brown will also executive produce the Imagine TV, CBS TV and Universal TV co-production.

While The Last Symbol, Brown's third novel featuring the character of Langdon, is set after the events of Angels & Demons and The Da Vinci Code, the NBC series is reimagining the story as a prequel, presumably with a young, handsome actor taking on the role originated by Tom Hanks in the 2006 film The Da Vinci Code. Hopefully with the same bizarre wig.

Here's the logline for Langdon per Deadline:

Langdon follows the early adventures of famed Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon, who finds himself pulled into a series of deadly puzzles when his mentor is kidnapped. The CIA forces him onto a task force where he uncovers a chilling conspiracy.

The Last Symbol was previously developed as a movie adaptation at Sony following Angels & Demons before the studio went with Inferno, the fourth book in Brown's Robert Langdon series. Now the story has been conceived as a prequel with a potential to cover the events of even more of Brown's books, the latest of which was 2017's Origin.

My only question is: Why? Was anyone really hankering for a Robert Langdon TV series? The Da Vinci Code was a major box office hit, earning $217 million when it was released in 2006, but the series has only been a case of diminishing returns since then both financially and critically, with 2016's Inferno barely scraping $34 million domestically and the worst reviews of the series at 23% on Rotten Tomatoes. But the TV landscape today has been all about recognizable IPs, and Robert Langdon certainly is a household name amongst the over-40 dad crowd. Though it's unclear whether your dad will tune into Langdon if it's not starring Tom Hanks.

Correction: An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated that Inferno made $34 million worldwide. It has been updated to reflect that that number was actually its domestic total.

The Robert Langdon films (or Robert series) are a series of American action-adventuremystery-thriller films directed by Ron Howard. The films, based on the novel series written by Dan Brown, center around the fictional character of Robert Langdon. Though based on the book series, the films have a different chronological order, consisting of: The Da Vinci Code (2006), Angels & Demons (2009) and Inferno (2016). Despite negative critical reception, the film series as a whole has grossed almost $1.5 billion worldwide.

Dan Brown's novels about Professor Robert Langdon: Angels & Demons (2000), The Da Vinci Code (2003) and Inferno (2013), quickly became international bestsellers; they were soon adapted into films by Columbia Pictures with Ron Howard directing and producing.

Difference between novels and films[edit]

The Da Vinci Code[edit]

• In the film, Sophie is the last of Jesus' bloodline, Jacques Saunière is not her actual grandfather, but she has a surviving brother who is also part of the bloodline. In the novel, Saunière is Sophie's grandfather.
• In the novel, there are two cryptexes, one (white and large) from Saunière's bank locker and another (black and smaller) from the larger cryptex.
• Sophie is a love interest for Langdon in the novel while there is no attraction present in the film.

Angels & Demons[edit]

There are many differences between the novel and the film.^[24]

• In the novel, the papal conclave attracts relatively little public attention. In the wake of the huge international interest in the 2005 election of Pope Benedict XVI, this was judged to be out of date.^[25]
• The character of CERN Director Maximillian Kohler does not appear in the film.
• The Italian Camerlengo Carlo Ventresca is changed to the Irish Patrick McKenna, portrayed by Ewan McGregor.
• The Boeing X-33 that takes Langdon from the United States to Geneva and then to Rome is absent in the film.
• In the novel, Commander Olivetti is the commander of Swiss Guard, and his second-in-command is Captain Rocher, whereas in the film, Richter is the head of the Swiss Guard.
• In the novel, the Assassin contacts members of the BBC in order to influence how they present the story of his activities, but this does not happen in the film.
• The character Leonardo Vetra is named Silvano Bentivoglio in the film, is not related to Vittoria and his death scene is changed.
• Vittoria is a love interest for Langdon in the novel while there is no attraction present in the film.
• In the novel, Camerlengo Carlo Ventresca is revealed to be the late pope's biological son, in the film he is his adoptive son.
• In the book, the assassin has Middle Eastern looks whereas in the movie he is portrayed by a Danish actor Nikolaj Lie Kaas. In the film, he is killed by a car bomb, whereas in the book he falls from a balcony at the top of the Castel Sant'Angelo and breaks his back on a pile of marble cannonballs which eventually kills him.
• In the novel, Vittoria is kidnapped, whereas in the film, she follows Langdon almost everywhere. In the book, all four preferiti are killed by the assassin and eventually the high elector, Cardinal Saverio Mortati, is elected as the new pope whereas in the film, the fourth preferito, Cardinal Baggia, is saved by Langdon and is elected the new pope. The high elector, renamed Cardinal Strauss, becomes the Camerlengo to the new pope.
• In the end, the new Camerlengo hands over Galileo's book to Langdon instead of a Swiss Guard handing the 5th brand, the Illuminati diamond (which is also different in the movie and looks like two crossed keys). In the movie before the explosion Langdon doesn't get on the helicopter unlike in the book where he does and right before the explosion jumps out, barely surviving.

Inferno[edit]

• In the novel, the Inferno Virus causes sterility in one third of the human population. At the end of the novel it is revealed that the virus was released before the events of the book, as the date given in the video was when the virus would be worldwide, thus searching for its whereabouts was futile. In the film, the virus was projected to kill one half of the human population but was contained by Sinskey and the WHO.
• In the novel, Dr. Sienna Brooks intends to prevent the virus from being released and to destroy it as she believes Governments and other organisations will use it as a weapon and at the end of the novel she is offered a position in the WHO in order to address the crisis.
• In the novel, Dr. Elizabeth Sinskey is not a former romantic interest of Robert Langdon.
• In the novel, Sienna Brooks has blonde hair that is actually a wig whereas in the film, she has long, black hair.
