Akiva Goldsman may get $4 million paycheque for ‘Angels and Demons’ screenplay
According to LA Weekly and DeadlineHollywoodDaily.com reporter Nikki Finke, Goldsman has been offered a staggering four million dollars for Dan Brown’s ‘Angels and Demons’ - an amount that will set a new record for a pure screenwriting gig. Finke claims that Goldsman will not do double-duty as producer and screenwriter on the ‘Sony Pictures’ and ‘Imagine Entertainment’ release, reports Zap2it.
Although ‘Angels and Demons’, slated for a December 12, 2008 release, was written before ‘The Da Vinci Code’, its production is not being conceived of as a prequel to the latter. The film will see Robert Langdon, the character played by Tom Hanks in the first film, attempting to make sense of a series of murders that may involve the Vatican and the shady Illuminati.
Besides ‘The Da Vinci Code’, Goldsman writing credits include an Oscar for ‘A Beautiful Mind’. He is also regarded for scripting films like ‘Lost in Space’, ‘Batman and Robin’ and ‘Batman Forever’.
