" The studio has hired Gregory Poirier to write the movie, which will be directed by returning helmer Jon Turteltaub. Details of the story are being kept under wraps and it is unclear whether any cast from the first film will return. In the first movie stars as the brilliant Benjamin Franklin Gates, third generation treasure hunter.
All his life, Gates has been searching for a treasure no one believed existed: amassed through the ages, moved across continents, to become the greatest treasure the world has ever known.
Walt Disney Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer Films have begun laying out a new map for "National Treasure 2." The studio has hired Gregory Poirier to write the movie, which will again be directed by Jon Turteltaub. Nicolas Cage will unravel what is on the missing pages from John Wilkes Booth's diary.
From the nations birthplace, to the nations capitol, to clues buried within the symbols on the dollar bill.
Question: So that is actually going to happen?
Cage: Yeah.
It's being written as we speak, but the hope is that it's going to be happening.
Question: It's about Abraham Lincoln?
Cage: Yeah, Abraham Lincoln and confederate gold and the assassination.
It's interesting stuff. What I like about the 'National Treasure' potential series is that it deals with history and it's also entertaining. That's also a good thing.
There are worse things to do than to stimulate young people's minds about history as you're entertaining them.
Question: Are you going to do it sort of 'Indiana Jones' style and do a prequel because at the end of 'National Treasure' you're a billionaire, aren't you?
Cage: [Laughs] Well, actually, not a billionaire.
I think that he gave most of the treasure to the different museums of the world. He got one percent or something.
Question: Okay, so you're a multi-millionaire.
Cage: I'm not sure what they're going to do about that.
Question: That character seems as though he would be into searching out other mysteries with the money.
Cage: Yeah, that's what I like about him.
He's kind of like a historical detective and a treasure hunter.
Question: Everyone is still attached from the first film?
Question: Except for Sean Bean is what I heard.
