One down, one up as McRae lauds Daicos double-act
If one Daicos doesn't get you, the other one will. Collingwood star Nick Daicos had his usual sharp impact blunted by a tight tag from rebadged Melbourne wingman Ed Langdon in the King's Birthday thriller. But older brother Josh stepped up in a best-afield display, tallying a game-high 34 disposals from half-back in the Magpies' 11.6 (72) to 10.11 (71) victory at the MCG. "It's a nice duo, isn't it?" Collingwood coach Craig McRae said of his super siblings. "Josh has had an enormous year. He starts on the bench and he just looked like a different player to everyone else when he came on. "Everyone was fumbling, but not Josh. I'm really happy for him. "He's worked really hard on his game, he's never played backline before and he's working really hard to be the best player he can be. "Right now everyone's seeing that." Langdon wore Nick Daicos like a glove from the outset and frustrated the Pies' Brownlow Medal fancy, who had just seven touches in the first half. Daicos had another seven in the third quarter and almost had a major say in the last, when he kicked one goal from a 50 metre penalty and missed another set shot when Langdon conceded a free kick. Langdon had just four disposals himself and raised eyebrows with some of his close-checking tactics, but McRae conceded the hard-running Demon played his role well. "I thought Nick was well handled today," McRae said. "They did a great job on him and Nick fought through it, but Langdon would've had the honours." The physical battle between Langdon and Daicos sparked a series of spotfires between players from both sides in the first half. McRae felt it was a "nil-all draw" in the way his players looked after Daicos in slippery conditions that made for a hard-fought contest. "There were times when we could've done a few things different, but it's a different game right now," McRae said. Not to be outdone by his sons, Collingwood legend Peter Daicos stood out dressed as Heath Ledger's iconic Joker in the pre-match Big Freeze fundraiser. The Magpies' fifth straight win gave them an 11-2 record on top of the ladder at their mid-season bye. If one Daicos doesn't get you, the other one will.

Netflix Nabs Robert Langdon Series From Carlton Cuse, Author Dan Brown
Netflix is entering the world of Robert Langdon. After a bidding war, the streamer has landed a series based on The Secret of Secrets, the latest Langdon novel from author Dan Brown. Carlton Cuse (Netflix's Pulse, Lost) is set as showrunner and will executive produce with Brown; the two will also be writers on the series. Emma Forman of Genre-Arts also exec produces. More from The Hollywood Reporter Titan Submersible Implosion Examined in Trailer for Netflix Doc 'The OceanGate Disaster' Topher Grace (Yes, Topher Grace) Is an Opium Kingpin in Netflix's 'The Waterfront' Trailer Thomas Haden Church Is Here to Help the Shop - and Will's Erections - in 'Tires' Season 2 Trailer (Exclusive) The Secret of Secrets is Brown's sixth novel in the Langdon series, which began with mega-bestseller The Da Vinci Code, is set to hit shelves in September. In the novel, Langdon 'races against ancient forces and time to rescue a missing scientist and her groundbreaking manuscript whose discoveries have the power to forever change humanity's understanding of the mind,' per a logline. The currently untitled series 'will blend futuristic science with mystical lore.' The Netflix series is the latest screen adaptation of Brown's novels featuring Langdon, a Harvard symbologist frequently drawn into international intrigue and shadowy conspiracies. Tom Hanks starred as Langdon in three movies — 2006's The Da Vinci Code, 2009's Angels & Demons and 2016's Inferno — directed by Ron Howard that made a combined $1.47 billion in worldwide box office. A series based on The Lost Symbol and starring Ashley Zukerman as Langdon streamed on Peacock in 2021 (after initially being developed for NBC); it was canceled after a single season. Cuse is coming off Netflix's medical drama Pulse, where he served as co-showrunner with series creator Zoe Robyn. Along with Lost, his credits include Netflix's Locke and Key, Prime Video's Jack Ryan, and A&E's Bates Motel.

Review: Vertigo solves complex mystery of Da Vinci Code with technical wizardry
Article content It's all the technical wizardry Vertigo Theatre brings to its production of The Da Vinci Code that makes it such a compelling experience. Article content The adaptation of Dan Brown's 2003 bestselling novel is decidedly cinematic. The action jumps from the Louvre in Paris to several churches, an estate and even an airplane, but more importantly, the audience must see such Leonardo Da Vinci masterpieces as the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper. Just hearing that these famous works contain symbols to prove Christ and Mary Magdalene had at least one child is not enough. We have to see these hidden symbols, and enlarged, if possible. Article content Article content That's what Andy Moro's projections do for us. They also help move us from one location to another, working so seamlessly with Anton DeGroot's ingenious set design. Director Simon Mallett makes certain there is true theatricality in the movement from one location to another. In keeping with the religious themes of the story, he has his actors dressed in monks' habits, but it also disguises who they are. It's so well thought out, as is everything about Mallett's staging. Article content Article content The play opens with the murder of Jacques Sauniere, the curator of the Louvre. Before he dies, he manages to write, in his own blood, a message for his granddaughter Sophie Neveu and famous American symbologist Robert Langdon. It's this message and the staging of his body that sets them, and the audience, on a quest for the Holy Grail. Article content They are not the only ones. Two religious groups are also in pursuit. There is the Priority of Sion, who have been protecting the bloodline of Christ, and Opus Dei, who have vowed to destroy any evidence of Christ's humanity. There is also Inspector Fache, who is convinced it was Langdon who murdered Sauniere and is tracking him and Sophie. Article content Article content Article content The whole setup is convoluted and complicated, much better suited for a novel or a film, but Mallett, his designers, and actors do their best to create a fun house, theme park ride for the audience. Article content As Langdon, Graham Percy is the ideal tour guide. His confusion is ours, and Percy makes Langdon the quintessential everyman. There are a couple of great running jokes, including Langdon's claustrophobia and the fact that he seems to have given a lecture on everything they encounter along the way. Like his suit, Percy's Langdon has seen better days. Article content Isabelle Pedersen gives Sophie an edge that saves her from ever being the damsel in distress. Unfortunately, for the first 20 minutes of the play, Pedersen shouts rather than speaks her lines. When she eases into the role, Pedersen takes control of the action as she is intended to. It's not her fault that the end of the play and the great revelations are dismissed so easily and quickly. The playwrights didn't give her much to work with.
