Columbia Pictures are developing the adaptation which sees Brown’s regular protagonist, symbologist Robert Langdon, get mixed up with the Freemasons in Washington, D.C.

This is the first time Brown is adapting one of his own novels. Akiva Goldsman penned the script for The Da Vinci Code, while David Koepp adapted Angels & Demons.

Ron Howard has not yet committed to directing The Lost Symbol, neither has Tom Hanks officially signed on to reprise his role as Robert Langdon.

THR reported this one.
