Harris and Mirren To Get Bruckheimered In NATIONAL TREASURE: THE BOOK OF SECRETS!!

Published at:  Mar 29, 2007 1:13:51 AM CDT

SPOILER ALERT !!


Merrick here...




Ed Harris and Helen Mirren will join returning cast members Nicolas Cage, Diane Kruger, Justin Bartha, Jon Voight, and Harvey Keitel.

SO SAYS VARIETY!!!



Ed plays the badguy (I'm told he's called Derek Wilkinson) and Mirren plays Emily (?), Cage's mommy.

I'm looking forward to this movie. It's not the most popular sentiment in the world, but I really enjoyed the first film and am eager to see what they have up their sleeves this time around.

This one takes place in many locations all over the world...and involve bigger stakes than before (the "President of the U.S." is a player in this & directly impacts proceedings - as does fallout from the Lincoln assassination).

    National Treasure I was a pleasant surprise. What The Da Vinci Code should have been: fun. Now when are they going to make a Galaxy Quest sequel?

    I certainly enjoyed the first movie. I am a Nicolas Cage fan and want to see him in something good after i saw Ghost Rider. I feel like his Next movie will fall short and i only hope the newest installment of National Treasure will be fun and exciting

    by jimmyjoe redsky

    ... this time - the better actors go bald gracefully - like harris or malkovich, or willis - its amazing what plugs, caps and a nose job can do for an actors choices in parts - but then, it is show "business" - whatever it takes to get the big checks i guess

    The first one was merely average I suppose. A movie that you see and forget about. And the reviews have definitely not been positive for Pathfinder.

    by onemanarmy

    You're a prime example of the masses of people that frequent AICN & base life long opinions of a film from what someone considers a legitimate "review."

    Do some research and you might find that the review was extremely biased and uninformative. Pathfinder will kick ass. Maybe not on the 300 level but "mindless," give me a break.

    Use Google or something, and stop brown nosing Harry & company.

    I read somewhere that she has got them out for the camera more often/ longer than any other non-porn actress. I think that is why she got her damehood(?) Having said that, she should keep them in now.

    Cage's fake hair is more entertaining than Cage himself

    by daddylonghead

    I hope for this one he has the exact same hairdo that Tom Hanks had in the Da Vinci Code, but with the addition of a big white skunk streak running along one side, near the top.

    Tell me that wouldn't be priceless. TELL ME, I SAY.

    by cherryvalance

    I did really like the first movie, although that could have been because of Bean. I'm not sure if I'll make it to the theater for a sequel.

    And as far as Caligula goes, I don't see how Helen was slumming. Because that was a long time ago, she's been in some real crap, and frankly I thought it was pretty good.

    this sounds good

    by rdsxfan8

    i agree with those of you that said the first one wasnt too bad. I actually like it and sean bean played a good bad guy. he just has that bad guy look to him.
    Ed Harris def doesnt get enough good parts and we'll see how he handles this one. we've seen him play opposite Cage in the rock so we know the two can be decent together. And adding the president in a key plot point sounds cool.
    plus Dianna Kruger is HOT so lets hope somehow they get her to wear a lil less clothes or something.

    by fuzzywhisper

    I wasn't expecting to have my balls rocked hardcore by an unabashedly family-friendly film, like most of its critics apparently were. National Treasure's a fun popcorn flick that doesn't pretend to be anything else. Film snobs need not apply. If the sequel's more of the same, that'll suit me just fine. In any case, it has a good cast.

    by kevinwillis.net

    I enjoyed watching it once. 300 I'd like to see about 10 times. But, still, National Treasure was a fun DVD night and National Treasure II: Order of the Phoenix looks exciting, and Harry Potter has certainly beefed up a lot since the first one.
