The Lost Symbol: Do Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou appear in the series adapted from Dan Brown?

What was before Dan Brown’s “The Da Vinci Code”? Adapted to the cinema by Ron Howard with Audrey Tautou and Tom Hanks, the book hid another symbol: a prequel released in series on Salto in 2021.

Tom Hanks who played the role of Robert Langman in the three films based on Dan Brown’s books, Da Vinci Code, Angels or Demons and Infernoperfectly embodied the internationally renowned symbologist.‘Audrey Tautou who played Sophie Neveu, the actor had delivered an explosive performance. We could logically expect to see them again in the series adapted from “The Lost Symbol”.

But it needed an actor younger than Tom Hanks, who played the adult character of Robert Langman, so that the prequel would be coherent. Indeed, the series is set years before the events of the Da Vinci Code, and features a younger Robert Langdon, teaching symbolism – or symbology – at Harvard and knowing how to solve puzzles like no one else. That’s why it’s Ashley Zukerman, preview in Succession, A Teacher, or there is little in the Fear Street trilogy on Netflix, which embodies this time Robert Langdon, not Tom Hanks. The series, which has two seasons of ten episodes, was developed by the writers and producers Dan Dworkin and Jay Beattie, who worked on The Crossing, the Scream series, and Outer Banks: no trace either of Ron Howard on this project.

As for Audrey Tautou, it’s been a long time since we’ve seen her in the cinema, and she hadn’t already participated in the following parts, Inferno and Angels and Demons. Since 2018, the actress has indeed decided to play less and end her career, as confirmed in 2021 by her friend and director Pierre Salvadori, who directed her in her latest film “Freedom” “She told me that she would not have shot the film if it ended badly for her character (…) It was a job that she loved, but which made her suffer. she left without saying anything, it was the good one. She often said that she wanted to stop.” All is said.
