In late 2003 it was pointed out to me that the dust cover of Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code contained a number of curious ‘anomalies’: map co-ordinates in ‘mirror writing’, bolded letters hiding odd messages, and more. The reason for these strange inclusions became clear when Dan Brown announced in an interview that clues about the sequel to The Da Vinci Code were hidden on the cover of the bestselling book.

It was destined to happen even before Dan Brown’s behemoth novel The Lost Symbol hit the bookshelves across the globe in September. The vast sums of money generated from the two previous adaptations make it obvious to continue with the adventures of Robert Langdon.
The Da Vinci Code despite it being dull and preposterous, made a shed-load of cash. Its curiosity value and Catholic-baiting controversy ensured box office takings were gigantic. Earlier this year, Angels and Demons did much... Read Full Story
There is plenty of money to be made with or by or through Robert Langdon, so Tom Hanks and possibly Ron Howard will go at it again with The Lost Symbol . Collectively, The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons made Columbia/Sony about $1.2 billion around the world, and in fact, the foreign markets are where these films are more aggressively targeted, so even if they don't blow up in the US, the studio is fine with that.
Cinema Blend reports this week that the film is close to beginning the... Read Full Story

I don't read much non-fiction. I simply don't have the time, and when I do, its not generally from the "thriller" genre. So how come I have written three guide books to three thrillers? The answer is simple. Dan Brown. What Brown has managed to do brilliantly within the framework of his novels, is weave facts and fiction seamlessly together in a coherent and logical way, the like of which is rarely seen. I'm not saying its all perfect -- indeed, as I point out in my guide books, some of his... Read Full Story

If you think Peter Mendelsund went through a lot to get to the final version of the cover for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo , just imagine what Michael J. Windsor's work life was like past year. Windsor was the designer of one of the most iconic and ubiquitous book covers of the decade, Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code , which not only seemed to be held in front of the face of every third person on my bus in the mid-'00s, but which set off a small industry of speculation with its clues about...
