Entertainment Weekly says Ayelet Zurer will star opposite Tom Hanks in ANGELS & DEMONS. Ron Howard is returning to direct this DA VINCI CODE prequel, and Akiva Goldsman will once again adapt from Dan Brown's book (we've known for a while that Hanks, Howard, and Goldsman were all on-board).

Zurer's character is the daughter of CERN physicist Leonardo Vetra. Following her father's death, Vittoria pairs with Robert Langdon (Hanks) on a journey to uncover the mystery behind her father's murder and stop a terrorist plot.
