Game Change writer Danny Strong will adapt that next Da Vinci Code sequel
Although the Da Vinci Code franchise was abandoned by director Ron Howard out of fear that he was getting too close to the convoluted truth, Sony remains determined to mount a feature-film version of Dan Brown’s The Lost Symbol, which remains a hit so long as there is a lot of time to kill at airports. And so, after hiring Never Let Me Go’s Mark Romanek to direct it, the studio has also now paired him with writer Danny Strong, whose performance as “Jonathan” on Buffy The Vampire Slayer is both the onus he must bear as he attempts to establish himself as a serious, grown-up screenwriter, and the gift that keeps on giving from devoted Buffy fans who feel strangely proud of him. We’re not sure why. It’s not like we’ve really known him since he was in high school, and yet—good job, Jonathan! You’ve come a long way since you were just casting spells to make everyone think you're a famous writer!
