Tom Hanks' The Da Vinci Code prequel Angels & Demons has become the first big-screen casualty of the Hollywood writer's strike. Executives at Columbia Pictures have postponed production on the film as the strike begins a third week.
Sources claim Oscar-winning screenwriter Akiva Goldman's script still needs work, and he is on strike with his Writers Guild of America brethren. The film bosses have also put the film's release date back from the end of 2008 to 2009.
The strike has already hammered TV schedules with all late-night chat shows immediately shutting down and production on a host of sitcoms and dramas coming to a halt.
