* Inferno 3/5

Tom Hanks is back as Professor Robert Langdon in Inferno, the third film to be adapted from Dan Brown's highly successful book series.

Robert Langdon battles clandestine forces and his own memory to save the human race.

A strange and varied mix in cinemas this week, including a new Irish comdy classic, a returning horror franchise and comedy show back after long breaks and a new film from the guy behind What We Do in the Shadows.

The remake train keeps rolling, but this one sounds pretty great.

Happy Days star Henry Winkler has paid tribute to the show’s creator, Garry Marshall, who has died aged 81.

Hey there's another Robert Landgon movie coming out with a very old looking Tom Hanks running around to save the world. Here's the second trailer for Inferno.

After The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons you might have thought we were done with Tom Hanks' rather placid take on Dan Brown's Robert Langdon. Nope.

Remember when everyone in the whole world and their mother was reading The DaVinci code? Well that was way back in 2003 when the book first launched, followed by a movie starring Tom Hanks in 2006.

Movie adaptations of famous books have long been big business in the film industry. 

Ron Howard’s In the Heart of the Sea (12A), which is adapted from Nathan Philbrick’s award-winning book of the same name, opens in Nantucket in 1850, with the young novelist Herman Melville (Ben Whishaw) interviewing retired sailor Tom Nickerson (Brendan Gleeson) about the dramatic events that befell the whale ship Essex some three decades previously.

Ron Howard (A Beautiful Mind, Apollo 13) has a new film on the horizon, and it's called In the Heart of the Sea.
