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