In the first big-screen casualty of the Hollywood writers strike, Columbia Pictures has postponed production on Angels & Demons, a prequel to its box-office hit The Da Vinci Code starring Tom Hanks. Columbia said it did not expect the strike to affect any other film in its 2008 slate, which also includes the next James Bond film, a Will Smith action drama titled Hancock or the Adam Sandler comedy You Don’t mess with Zohan.
