Hanks on the set of \

It may be necessary to hide the knives and pill bottles before you read this, but because of the ongoing writer’s strike, the production of Tom Hanks/Ron Howard’s Angels and Demons (the prequel to the Da Vinci Code) has been postponed. 

Sources said the script, which was penned by "Da Vinci" scribe Akiva Goldsman, was rushed to meet the WGA’s Nov. 1 deadline for reaching a new contract with producers, and came in with insurmountable problems. Furthermore, no cast had signed on beyond Hanks. [Variety]

Bummer, man, it’s all hitting me.  See, before today, the whole writer’s strike thing hadn’t meant much to me, but now, it’s like it’s totally hitting home.  It’s so sad, I never thought it’d mean I’d have to wait longer for a Ron Howard movie.  I feel just like that one dude who wrote that one poem about Nazis, and how when they came for the Jews he didn’t speak up because he wasn’t a Jew, and then when they came for the Communists, he didn’t speak up because he wasn’t a Communist, but then when they came for the neighbor chick, he was pissed ’cause she had a great rack.  Something like that, I don’t really remember.  Anyway, long story short, when you see a Ron Howard movie, the Nazis win.
