When asked in an interview what he would change if he were writing the book as nonfiction rather than fiction, for example, Brown replied he would change nothing. Was Jesus married to Mary Magdalene? Did early Christian leaders attempt to suppress her significance? Did Constantine the Great and the Council of Nicaea establish the divinity of Jesus Christ in 325 a.d.? Was Leonardo da Vinci one of the "keepers of the secret of the Holy Grail," as Leigh Teabing, the historian scholar, declares? Did he encode his art with symbols that suggested a Christian history far different from the one with which we are familiar? Though fictional characters raise these questions, Brown, in interviews about his novel, generated much debate by defending the possibility that Christian history has been carefully and artificially constructed. While the plot moves along rapidly, the narrative and dialogue slow down briefly at times to explore weighty issues and consider controversial questions. It is a fast-paced thriller involving Harvard professor of religious symbology Robert Langdon, who must solve a murder mystery before he is arrested for the murder himself. The first Robert Langdon novel, Angels & Demons, was published in 2000, but it was 2003’s The Da Vinci Code and the movie of the same name that really catapulted the series to fame.ĭan Brown’s The Lost Symbol will stream soon on Peacock.The Da Vinci Code became one of the first notable international literary events of the twenty-first century as soon as it was published in early 2003. It looks like the show will do a similar thing, except he’s younger and hotter now, because, why not! Brown does spend an awful lot of time in each Robert Langdon book reminding his readers about how fit and handsome the symbologist is. and uncovering secrets about the freemasons. The book follows Langdon trekking through Washington D.C.
The show is based on the third book of the Robert Langdon series, though it turns the story into a prequel. It’s been a hot second since the last Robert Langdon book got turned into a movie, which was 2016’s Inferno (based on the 2013 book of the same name). Except, this time he’s not played by Tom Hanks, but instead by Ashley Zukerman ( Succession). The Da Vinci Code hero of Dan Brown’s novels is back in the first teaser for a Peacock prequel series. For all you Robert Langdon stans out there waiting for your next fix of the Harvard professor turned dashing action hero, you’re in luck.
