Tom Hanks enjoys playing ‘smartest guy in the room’

Performing artist Tom Hanks said the genuine attract for him to repeat his part as anecdotal symbologist Robert Langdon in the film adjustment of Dan Chestnut's thriller "Inferno" was the opportunity to be "the most intelligent person in the room."

"You give me the appropriate measure of verbiage and simply enough time to do the perfect measure of research, and I can persuade you that I might be the most astute person in the room," the on-screen character said with a giggle to correspondents on Thursday.

"The blessing that Dan Chestnut gave me as a performing artist is to play a person who's constantly inquisitive, who's constantly stubborn and who's continually hunting down a reply."

Hanks joined cast individuals including Felicity Jones and Irrfan Khan, executive Ron Howard and creator Chestnut at a news meeting for the film in Florence's Palazzo Vecchio.

Hanks and Howard beforehand brought Chestnut's "Da Vinci Code" and "Holy messengers and Evil spirits" to life in hit blockbuster movies.

Sony Pictures' "Inferno," due in theaters on 28 Oct, takes after Langdon as he awakens in Florence with amnesia and needs to unravel hints to stop a torment being discharged by a slippery extremely rich person who tries to handle overpopulation.

"I felt that he was giving us the vocabulary of each blood and guts film we've ever observed and appreciated and you start to take a gander at it on a sort of philosophical level as well as a social, an immense social and political move," Howard said.
