Tom Hanks once again reprises his role as Robert Langdon in “Inferno,” the third cinematic adaptation of Dan Brown’s book series. This time around Langdon teams up with Dr. Sienna Brooks (Felicity Jones) after he wakes up in an Italian hospital with amnesia. Together they race across Europe against the clock to foil a deadly global plot. The first reviews are in, let’s see what the critics are saying.
IndieWire’s Demetrios Matheou said the “third time’s not the charm” and gave the film a C- in his review.
“After ‘The Da Vinci Code’ and ‘Angels & Demons,’ ‘Inferno’ makes it three duds in a row. Thanks to Tom Hanks, Langdon is a palpable, enjoyable presence. But once again Ron Howard and his screenwriters have failed to satisfactorily adapt the material around him. If the first film was ploddingly, airlessly faithful to its source, this follows the second in being frantically paced,...

Warner Bros. has snapped up the feature rights for a new take on Dante’s Inferno. Deadline reports that the publisher has acquired the pitch from scribe Dwain Worrell, best known for 2010 low-budget zombie film, Walking the Dead – not to be confused by Robert Kirkman’s genre juggernaut.
Based on Dante Alighieri’s 14th century epic poem, The Divine Comedy, Warner’s adaptation will depict the first third of the seminal tale in which our titular protagonist descends through the nine circles of Hell in order to rescue his beloved Beatrice. Siding with Virgil, the mythic tale begins on Easter weekend in the year 1300.
There’s little-to-no information regarding the style or approach of WB’s modern take on an old classic, considering that an attempt to save Beatrice from the fiery pits of damnation didn’t factor into the original poem. Rather, this arc didn’t become a tenet...

On this day in 1321 Renaissance poet Dante Alighieri died. Although malaria was likely the proximate cause it remains undetermined whether he resides in one of the circles of hell that he described in rich detail to the literate population of Europe. His unequalled masterpiece of poetry The Divine Comedy includes three books Paradiso Purgatorio and most importantly for our purposes Inferno. Paradiso is heaven. Purgatorio is purgatory. And Inferno of course is hell.
