Actor Tom Hanks has one of the biggest careers in Hollywood, but he considers some of his movies to be nonsense.
Tom Hanks will always be remembered for Big, Forrest Gump, Toy Story, Castaway, Saving Private Ryan either The green Mile. But he has also played three times robert langdon in adaptations of novels Dan Brownas they are The Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons and Hell. But it seems that he doesn’t like these movies.
In a recent interview with New York TimesTom Hanks revealed that: “You don’t have to take those treasure hunt movies seriously as they are as accurate to history as James Bond is to espionage. That was a commercial company. Those Robert Langdon sequels are bullshit. The Da Vinci Code was nonsense. All we were doing was promising a distraction. Although there is nothing wrong with making commercial films, as long as it is a good business. But the third was not a good deal.”
You have to remember that The Da Vinci Code premiered in 2006, raising 760 million dollars, being one of the highest grossing Tom Hanks. While Angels and Demons (2009) raised $485 million and Hell (2016) only obtained 220 million. So the commercial downturn was quite evident. For this reason, perhaps they have not considered making the adaptation of the other two novels of Dan Brown which are starring robert langdon as they are the lost symbol Y Source.
However, they did make a series.
There is a program in peacock that adapts the lost symbol and that premiered in 2021. On this occasion Tom Hanks is replaced by Ashley Zuckermann as a young man robert langdon he must help the CIA solve several deadly puzzles when his mentor goes missing.
