Robert Langdon is back
Fans of The Da Vinci Code — and the book series/film adaptations — will have an exciting start to fall reading: The Secret of Secrets will release on September 9th. “Brown’s new novel begins with Langdon, the Harvard symbologist, in Prague. According to Doubleday, he plans to see a lecture by noetic scientist and emerging love interest Katherine Solomon, only to have her talk become a murder scene and for Solomon to disappear.”
Julia Roberts Returns To Thriller Adaptations
I am old enough to have watched all the ’90s thriller adaptations starring Julia Roberts, and I love her in both rom-coms and thrillers. On the heels of her starring in the adaptation of the apocalyptic Leave The World Behind (Netflix), she’s set to produce and star in an adaptation for the upcoming Kill Your Darlings by Peter Swanson. “The book, from HarperCollins, doesn’t come out until June, but Amazon and Stuber acted quickly to take the book off the Hollywood market. The story is a murder mystery told in reverse.”
