'Angels and Demons' Gets Some Wattage

Naomi to star opposite Tom...

Naomi Watts

The NY Post is reporting that Naomi Watts has landed the lead female role in the recently postponed production of Angels and Demons, which was supposed to begin filming early 2008, but the writers strike put a hitch in the giddy up.

The film is something of a prequel story to The Da Vinci Code and Tom Hanks will return as Robert Langdon as he gets wrapped up in an ancient secret brotherhood known as the Illuminati. The book is far more engrossing than "The Da Vinci Code" ever was and I am shocked it wasn't a larger success than the bore that was Dan Brown's "Da Vinci".

Nevertheless, while the film was originally slated for a December '08 release it has been bumped to summer 2009, but the fate of the film all depends on the outcome of the strike.

Two things:

1) Naomi Watts is way too good for this
2) It's been awhile since I read the book, but wasn't the female lead Italian? I know that this kind of thing will make little different, but since her father was supposed to be in a position of power in the Vatican, that would make more sense.
