From Child Star to Celebrated Filmmaker: The Incredible and Extraordinary Life of Ron Howard
The Robert Langdon Films
The book Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown was highly controversial, especially after it was turned into a film, directed by Ron Howard. The dark movie starred Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon, a role he reprised with two more Dan Brown movies, all made by Howard, namely Angels & Demons and Inferno. The Da Vinci Code brought both box-office success and controversy to Howard. It grossed $758 million worldwide at the box office and became the second highest grossing film of 2006. However, the Vatican denounced the film calling it offensive and full of theological errors. Howard defended the film by saying it was not, in any way about theology, but rather based on fiction.
