A recent story on the upcoming film adaptation of DB's Angels and Demons quotes producer Brian Grazer as saying that the new film will be less puzzles and history, and more action and technology:

"This continues the Langdon character in a much more modern form in a high-velocity situation," Grazer says. "The stakes are higher; the stakes are related to the main character. The 'Da Vinci Code' was much more of a puzzle movie, and this is much more of an action movie."

Grazer also discusses some difficulties in shooting in Rome, implying possible influence from DB's big fans at the Vatican. Angels & Demons opens on May 15.
