Writers Strike Forces Studio To Push Back Angels & Demons

A few weeks back we told you that Akiva Goldsman was frantically trying to finish the script for the Da Vinci Code sequel Angels & Demons, just days before the writers strike began. The film had a release date of December 19th 2008 with production scheduled to begin early next year.

Goldsman didn’t finish the script in time and Columbia Pictures has decided to postpone production on the Ron Howard film until they have a more ‘full-realized production draft’. The thing is, there is no end in sight for the strike, so it’s unknown when Goldsman will be working on the project again.

It has been reported that the studio “are setting a release date of May 15, 2009 and are hopeful to deliver the movie worldwide to theaters on that date.”
