Columbia Pictures will be making “The Lost Symbol,” the third film in “The Da Vinci Code” franchise.

The follow-up to “The Da Vinci Code” and “Angels & Demons” – “The Lost Symbol,” centres on Langdon decoding the symbols of the Freemasons and this time the story is set in America, not Europe.

Director Ron Howard‘s involvement has yet to be confirmed by Sony Pictures.
