National Treasure 2 Poster and Plot

National-Treasure-2-PosterNational Treasure was an up and down sort of film. It has its strengths, but it also had a fair share of weaknesses too. However, I didn’t mind the movie overall… if nothing else it was at least better than The Da Vinci code mess, and it was more fun too. However, I didn’t really think it would get a sequel despite its huge $350 million world wide take at the box office. Well… as we all found out some time ago, National Treasure: Book of Secrets is on its way.

The good folks over at MoviesOnline got the following goods out of Cage about the project:

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: 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.

HAHA… I don’t know that I would go so far as to say that the historicity of National Treasure makes it a movie that “opens up young minds” Nic… but I’ll give ya a pass on that one.

Meh, I’m usually in for adventure treasure hunting type movies… so why not. I’m just not expecting much from it.
