Inferno
Possible start of an ARG with Tom Hank's Robert Langdon

Hi Everyone,

I saw a TV ad for the latest Dan Brown movie, Inferno. At the end, it said to email Robert Langdon, the main character played by Tom Hanks, at robertlangdon964SPLATgmail.com.

When you do, you get an Out-of-Office email with a link. When you click on it, it sends you to his university profile page, with an area to sign up because "your assistance may be needed."

The start of an ARG, maybe?

Signed up. It seems interesting, I thought this movie would most likely have an arg attached to it.

Odd... I assumed that October 28th would be when the ARG started.. but it's when the film comes out.

Unless... The Movie is part of the ARG? Like, something in the movie ends where the ARG begins?

We also end up having a few months between now and then. It's possible itll be a rather short lived ARG?

Could the film Inferno have an ARG going on?
How interesting.

Yesterday on The Voice, I saw a trailer for Inferno, a film in the Robert Langdon series (Da Vinci Code, Angels & Demons). At the end was an email address:

RobertLangdon964SPLATgmail.com


I sent the address a random message (literally just random letters) and got this:

Going to the website that was listed, I found

a page for Robert, with the title Inferno | Sony Pictures


I'm not sure if this could be an ARG or not. Hoping it is.

EDIT: Fixed spoiler formatting and stuff

Received an email from Sony Pictures. There's a competition to enter for the Inferno film:

Pretty easy so far. The next questions start on the 10th October.
