Premise

Robert Langdon awakens in a hospital room in Florence, Italy, with no memory as to what has transpired over the last few days. He suddenly finds himself, again, the target of a major manhunt. But with the help of Dr. Sienna Brooks, and his knowledge of symbology, Langdon will try to regain his freedom, and lost memories, all whilst solving the most intricate riddle he's ever faced.[1]

Cast

Production

On July 16, 2013, Sony Pictures Entertainment set Ron Howard to direct Dan Brown's fourth novel in the Robert Langdon series, Inferno, with David Koepp writing the script.[5] Imagine Entertainment was set to produce the film, while Tom Hanks was again set to reprise his role as Robert Langdon.[5] On August 26, 2014, Sony had finalized the deal with Howard and Hanks, and set the film for April start of production in Italy.[1] Brian Grazer was also set to produce the film with Howard.[1]

On December 2, Felicity Jones was in early talks to join the film.[6] On February 17, 2015, studio revealed the confirmed cast for the film, including Jones as Dr. Sienna Brooks, Omar Sy as Christoph Bruder, Irrfan Khan as Harry "The Provost" Sims, and Sidse Babett Knudsen as Elizabeth Sinskey, head of the World Health Organization.[2] Ben Foster was set for an unspecified villainous role on March 10, 2015.[3]

Filming

Filming began on April 27, 2015 in Venice, Italy,[7] and continued in Florence, Italy, starting at the end of April. Outdoor scenes featuring Tom Hanks were filmed near the Palazzo Vecchio and elsewhere in the historic center of the city, starting on May 2, 2015. Some second unit stunts were filmed at an apartment building close to the Ponte Vecchio, in Florence. Low-flying aerial shots of Florence landmarks, its river and bridges were filmed on May 11, 2015.[8] As of June 5, 2015, most of the film was planned to be shot in Budapest, Hungary at Korda Studios.[9] Filming wrapped on July 21, 2015.[10]

During location filming, its production codename was "Headache", which may be a reference to a concussion suffered by Langdon early in the story.[8][11]

Release

In July 2013, Sony set the film for a December 18, 2015 release,[5] though due to the date clash with Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the date was moved almost a year to October 14, 2016.[12] The film was later moved back again to October 28, 2016.[13] The film will be available in both 2D and 3D formats.[14]
