Author Dan Brown's latest novel, "Inferno," the fourth to feature professor Robert Langdon, is set for adaptation by Sony, which is targeting a Dec. 18, 2015, release date.
According to Deadline, Ron Howard, who directed both "The Da Vinci Code" and "Angels & Demons," based on the first two novels in the series, as well as Tom Hanks, who played Langdon in both films, are set to return.
Howard had announced he would not direct the adaptation of Brown's third novel, "The Lost Symbol," and Mark Romanek ("One Hour Photo") had been pegged to helm the project.
Now it appears "The Lost Symbol" is being skipped altogether with "Inferno" next up for adaptation.
"Inferno," which was released in May, is described as follows on Brown's official website:
"The Da Vinci Code," released in 2006, grossed $758 million worldwide, while "Angels & Demons," released three years later, earned $485 million.

"Inferno," which was released in May, is described as follows on Brown's official website:
In the heart of Italy, Harvard professor of symbology Robert Langdon is drawn into a harrowing world centered on one of history’s most enduring and mysterious literary masterpieces...Dante’s Inferno.
Against this backdrop, Langdon battles a chilling adversary and grapples with an ingenious riddle that pulls him into a landscape of classic art, secret passageways, and futuristic science. Drawing from Dante’s dark epic poem, Langdon races to find answers and decide whom to trust...before the world is irrevocably altered.
"The Da Vinci Code," released in 2006, grossed $758 million worldwide, while "Angels & Demons," released three years later, earned $485 million.
