A source tells the site that “Ron told [studio suits] Amy Pascal and Michael Lynton that he was not going to be directing Dan Brown’s novels anymore. He just didn’t want to do that thing over and over, the same character and the same stories.”
Howard directed both the 2003 movie adaptation of The Da Vinci Code that made $758 million worldwide, and the follow-up film Angels & Demons (which Brown had actually written first) made a considerably lower $486 million.
Howard says he would still like to produce the film and will help find the new director.
At last report The Lost Symbol movie was being adapted by Oscar-nominated writer Steven Knight
There's no word whether series star Tom Hanks will reprise his role as Langdon either --who, in this latest tale, is summoned to Washington to decode the symbols of the Freemasons.
Meh The books were sooo much better than the filns anyway--losing Howard is no biggie as far as I'm concerned
