From the 7/20 Harvard Crimson—
"The scholarly expeditions undertaken by modern-day explorer and Harvard Foundation Director S. Allen Counter will be featured in a biopic produced by actor Will Smith.
…. Debbie Allen is also producing the film, and Farhad Safinia will be penning the script, Variety magazine reported.
…. Counter said that Debbie Allen described his character as 'a mixture of Indiana Jones and Robert Langdon,' the fictional Harvard professor of symbology in Dan Brown’s novels."
Farhad Safinia is co-writer and co-producer, with Mel Gibson, of "Apocalypto."
From "The Envelope: The Awards Insider" at the LA Times, a review of the film based on Dan Brown's "Angels & Demons"—
"The script tips its hand too early, and can't quite turn Langdon into Indiana Langdon on his Last Crusade."
