National Treasure 3 in 2011?
Another National Treasure may be hitting theaters in a few years, or at least that’s what director Jon Turtletaub mentioned this week to a few online interviewers. The good people over at moviehole.net gave us the scoop on Turtletaub’s time line musings for the next National Treasure flick
“I’m guessing that we’re a few years away”, the filmmaker said of a third film. “By the time we come up with a decent idea and develop it into a complicated and intelligent puzzle it’s going to be at least 2009. Then to prep it and cast it… it should be three years away.”
He went on to give many examples of where the film could take place, mentioning everything from The Golden Gate bridge to the Taj Mahal.
As much as I am not personally interested in seeing a National Treasure 3 now or in the next few years there is no denying the box office numbers for the US alone ($217,216,391 according to imdb.com).
It makes sense for the powers that be to continue making these harmless popcorn flick adventure films until people stop going out to see them. My guess of when that will be? Right around the time that Nicolas Cage’s next facelift.

Did anyone else think his hair was absolutely ridiculous in NT2? It looks like a scalped horse mane draped over his head.

Well, the last two films made heaps of money, someone out there in the void is plunking time and money down. I may not be thrilled to go see no.3, but y’know, somebody must be doing something right.

I have yet to enjoy a single one of these, so I don’t see the pull. Do they secretly provide free prostitutes with ticket stub?

I liked both of these movies very much. You just have to like them for what they are. There are too many movie snobs out there who decide before a movie comes out to hate it. Happens all of the time.

I only saw the first one on dvd and thoght it was ok like a 6/10 at best but I never wanted to see the second. I dont think I will be looking foward to the third movie.
