Dan Brown’s Inferno was the Number One bestseller on Amazon for the year 2013.
The novel was a commercial success but in spite of a major publicity campaign could not match The DaVinci Code. That may all change with the release of the film version scheduled for October 2016, starring Tom Hanks and directed by Ron Howard.
The hype seems to be beginning agian. On April 27, 2106 after months, yea years of silence, a tweet arrived pointing to Dante’s Comedia.
Timed for that release will be versions of this blog edited for i-Books, along with an Illustrated Walk-through Guide to the Florence and Venice in the novel, and a comparison of the film to the text. The initial version of 22/7 Keys to Dan Brown’s Inferno: The Novel and The Movie is now available as an iBook.
The first official trailer for the movie appeared on May 9, 2016.
Another official trailer appeared at the end of June, 2016.

A special sneak peek at the novel!!!
The journey has begun once again with puzzles, symbols, art and architecture, Dante’s Inferno, Florence, the Medici, and so much more. The adventure began on January 15, 2013 utilizing NBC TV, Facebook and Twitter to uncover the title: INFERNO. Like all Brown’s novels this one will be action packed with a thin line separating fact from fiction.
This wiki is designed to fill in the blanks with a comprehensive guide to the pre-novel hype, the novel itself and its references along with connections to Dan Brown’s earlier novel. My students and I have already done similar work for Angels & Demons, The DaVinci Code and The Lost Symbol, and I published a work translated into numerous languages entitled 33 Keys to Unlocking The Lost Symbol.
Here it comes. Watch the video trailer.
The movie was released on October 28, 2106 in the United States, although it appeared two weeks earlier in Great Britain. The New York Times Review was generally positive.
On February 20 Doubleday provided a sneak peek of the dustcover for the U.S. edition.
