The Lost Symbol- A Da Vinci Code Prequel
The Lost Symbol will be streaming in Peacock this September 16, 2021.
Dan Brown’s The Lost Symbol is a prequel of his hit novels The Da Vinci Code,Angels & Demons and Inferno.
Da Vinci Code caused a lot of controversies back then because it explored the theory that Jesus Christ is a married man. I remember all the documentaries that popped out to ride the hype of the Da Vinci Code. The book and the movie were also banned in some countries.
Tom Hanks will not be reprising his role as Robert Langdon. Ashley Zukerman will be playing a younger version of the famous fictional Harvard symbologist. It will be a lot of Pressure for Zukerman to play this role but it makes sense because Tom Hanks is now 64 years old. The series needed a younger less experienced version of him.
Back in 2013, this novel was almost adapted into a film with Tom Hanks but the producers decided to adapt Inferno instead. The Only book from the Robert Langdon series that needed Adaption will be Origin. If this series becomes successful, Origin might be the next book in the franchise to get an adaptation. Dan Brown is currently writing the next book from the Robert Langdon series.
It is not a prequel in the book version but it will be in the Adaptation as an excuse to not hire Tom Hanks. Unlike the previous Robert Langdon Books, This one will be a TV series. This Peacock original will flesh out the Harvard Symbologist more because we get to see him in multiple episodes. Robert Langdon’s mentor is kidnapped while doing investigations. The CIA forces him to solve some puzzles that can put his life in jeopardy. He will discover secrets that are originally just mere conspiracy theories. The Book will also tackle the secrets of the Free Masons.

You know, I never was able to figure out why that was a problem in the first place. It’s not like the book was trying to claim any of the story it was telling was real. I don’t mind them doing The Lost Symbol. I read that one & Inferno & generally preferred The Lost Symbol over the other. There is a fifth book, at least, too, I think.
