I haven’t seen the movie yet, but I remember the first ten arduous minutes on that preview, and how the mumblings and revalations of the puzzle solving of the character played by Nicolas Cage was just awful and completely insane. How he managed to come up with such proposterous connections I’ll never know, and apparently not even after watching the movie. However, it made $347.5 million worldwide, so now they’re after the sequel, from Coming Soon:
Walt Disney Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer Films have begun developing National Treasure 2, says The Hollywood Reporter.
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.
…It is unclear whether any of the cast will return for the sequel.
That’ll be the Gregory Poirier who wrote adult (as in porn) movies under the name of Hugh Jorgan, and then went on to write on Lion King II and is currently on A Sound of Thunder the Ray Bradbury short story based movie. Okay, so the latter movie sounds a lot better and has some big stars, but his previous work sounds a bit dubious. I predict much more cheesy dialogue for Cage.
