The writers strike has claimed its highest-profile movie to date: Columbia Pictures announced Friday that it was postponing production of "Angels & Demons," the sequel to "The Da Vinci Code."

In a statement, the studio said the screenplay was "very strong" but added: "We do not believe it is the fully realized production draft required of this ambitious project."
