Filming has officially begun on “Inferno,” the third film based on a Dan Brown novel featuring the character of Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks). Ron Howard has posted the first behind the scenes images from the shoot which has kicked off in Venice.
In this chapter, Robert Langdon wakes up in an Italian hospital with amnesia. He teams up with Sienna Brooks, a doctor he hopes will help him recover his memories and prevent a madman from releasing a global plague connected to Dante’s immortal tome.
Felicity Jones, Ben Foster, Irrfan Khan, Omar Sy and Sidse Babett Knudsen also star in the film which boasts a script by David Koepp. The film is currently targeting an October 14th 2016 release.
