Angelology is a first novel by Danielle Trussoni. It was published by Viking Press in March 2010.
The story follows a nun in New York who unwittingly reignites an ancient war between Angelologists, a group who study angels, and a race of descendants of angels and humans called the Nephilim. The story blends ancient biblical pericopes, the myth of Orpheus, and the fall of rebel angels. [1]
Eric Simonoff, then at Janklow & Nesbit, agented the book. In early 2009, seven different publishing houses vied for the manuscript. It eventually went to Viking Press for an undisclosed amount. According to Publishers Weekly, a reputable industry publication, the final offer was "well into six figures". [3]
Apart from publishing industry interest, two motion picture studios, Columbia Pictures and Universal Pictures, bid against each other for the film rights, with Columbia winning. [4]
Andrea Gianetti and DeVon Franklin (Columbia's executive producers on The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons) [5] are currently[ when?] overseeing the project. [1] Will Smith and James Lassiter's Overbrook Entertainment will co-produce with director Marc Forster. [6] Marc Forster will be directing the film. [7]
