A New NATIONAL TREASURE: BOOK OF SECRETS Trailer Is Online - In Glorious QuickTime!!
Merrick here...
There's a new trailer for NATIONAL TREASURE: BOOK OF SECRETS. Ed Harris and Helen Mirren join Cage, Voight & other returning cast members this time around - they're featured in the trailer.
Click Abe!
Many people take pot shots at the first film, but I rather enjoyed it & am looking forward to seeing this.
When I was a kid, I used to hunt for treasure all the time. I was stung by ten wasps which flew up my pants leg (I stepped on their nest, which had fallen on the ground), chased by (probably) poisonous snakes, crawled on by scorpions, stalked by a very strange squirrel, I ripped open my foot on a buried piece of metal & needed 8 stitches...all kinds of cool-ass treasure hunting peril befell me. But I never found treasure, and never wrangled a hot babe sidekick.
Treasure hunting ended up kind of sucking.

BESIDES- THIS DOESN'T LOOK AS GOOD AS THE FIRST
-
Has been a bigger character in his last 6 or so movies than he is..he really needs to do a Willis and shear that shit the fuck off the wigs and dye jobs and straw mullets and shit he has thenm make to make it look like he isn't fucking bald are so distracting they pull you right out of the movie and you sit in the dark afraid that the fucking thing is going to crawl off his head and strangle you while you sleep.

Am I the only one who liked Sahara better than National Treasure
by googamooga
Am I? Maybe McConaughey is just a better actor? Steve Zahn is definitely a better, and funnier, sidekick than Justin Bartha.

What happened to the Cage of yore?

How much more treasurier is the treasure this time?!
by judge dredds dirty undies
The treasuriest treasure yet!
-
Talk about Prima Donnas. Jeez. Clive Cussler was sitting on a film gold mine and IMHO, the choice of actors in Sahara was excellent. But then Clive I-insert-myself-into-every-book Cussler had to go all whiney on Hollywood. Yo, Clive, pull your head out of your ass so we can get some more cool action-adventure material.

WTF? This site just refreshed and I didn't even hit anything???

I am not a Nick Cage fan but he was fine for this role and the movie was very enjoyable. I am looking forward to seeing this one.
-
Hopefully the sequel will be good
-
this looks really bad. Oh and George Miller JLA will never get made.
-
and Cage is perfect for almost any role that calls for slightly (or completely) crazed, hazed, obsessive compulsive behavior. He is half a nut-job already, so he brings a lot to such roles. Fun to watch him "work"

So Nic Cage and Merrick have both uttered the immortal line...
by tonagan
"Auggh, my leg!!!" Nic in The Wicker Man, and Merrick when attacked by bees.
-
Macauly Culkin was the one that was attacked by bees, right?
-
sorry, but it's true.
nobody in their right mind would claim the first film was art but it was the textbook definition of popcorn fun. the only people who didn't enjoy it are those who have had their sense of fun surgically removed. -

-
How on earth did Helen Mirren get pulled into this crapfest? Was the held at gunpoint?
-
If I do say so myself...
-
National Treasure was one of those movies that I rented 'cause I was out of movies I wanted to see. Then I was surprised how fun it was. Sahara wasn't bad either.
-
I call mindless drivel. Tomb Raider + the Rock =crap.
-
and I am looking forward to sloppy seconds.
-
go to the movies by themselves ALL the time. Because neither of their friends find them interesting. And they're ugly and their mothers dress them funny.
-
and can't wait for this one.
-
that anyone who uses the word "drivel" is absolutely no fun at parties.
-
without any pants on?
-
I would say you are just describing what you see. j/k
-
I'll be there. I haven't seen the first one yet, so I'll have to check it out.
And Internet Thug, if you want people to take you seriously (or maybe you don't), please try using some basic grammar and punctuation. Of course, with a name like Internet Thug, you're probably a 14-year-old, right? Wow, you can swear like a grown-up. Your parents must be proud. -
I feel ashamed. This trailer is kind of a mess though.
-
It seems he's the president in this one, like he was JFK in 13 Days. A severely underappreciated actor, my personal choice for Reed Richards.
-
...that cracked me up.
The first one was total "mindless popcorn fun".... I actually remember feeling a little guilty over how much I enjoyed it.... so, I guess I'll see this one too.... maybe not until DVD though, depends on what else is out that particular week. -
one dude could literally walk into some government building and steal some top secret stuff... I'm ashamed to be american.
-
only this time he's the President? I don't know Butchie instead.
-
Given that, why did Nicolas Cage stole Tom Hanks' wig?

You're all idiots and cowards
by guy who got a headache and accidentally
First, your idiots for liking these piece of shit films. Second, your cowards for only admitting to it when Merrick or somebody admits to liking it in an article. Then suddenly all the secret fans come out of the woodwork to show their support, when they think they've got the support of the vocal majority on their side. YOU MAKE ME SICK
-
I met him on the set of the first movie and he got all pissy when I said hello and tugged on his toupee. What a bitch.
That said, I liked the first one and I can't believe they nabbed Helen Mirren for this one, making it a must see. They must've offered her a fortune. This looks like fun. Diane Kruger looks hot, and anytime Bruce Greenwood plays the President, you know it's gonna be a good movie. -
They're in my eyes!
http://youtube.com/watch?v=e6i2WRreARo -
that was totally ready to rip on the first one and then had a good time with it. It's not a perfect movie, it's not a great movie, but it's certainly a fun movie espically when you have a bunch of friends over, lots of food, lots of conversation going, me, the token movie geek shouting "Shut up, I wanna watch the movie", precedded by the insane 90's disney movie Rocketman.
-
He would've been PERFECTION as Reed Richards. God fucking damn Tim Story and Fox. Fuckers.
-
Can we stop using this phrase? It's idiotic as hell. Terminator 2 was not "mindless popcorn fun" Aliens wasn't, Blade Runner wasn't, Raiders of the Lost Ark wasn't, yet it's okay to settle for this dumbed down Nicolas "knuckle biter" Cage shit because, "it's fun!" Fuck that. Somehow I think you guys are probably the same people who bitch about vern reviewing direct-to-video steven seagal movies.
-
I actually just saw the first one a couple of months ago, and if I would have said it anytime before it wouldn't have made any sense because this is the first NT 2 article posted since I saw it so *pfftttt*
-
I like Sean Bean but ... now you've got Helen "Lovely Tits" Mirren, Bruce Grenwood, Ed Harris, Harvey Keitel, and Jon Voight? Holy shit.
If Nick Cage wasn't in it, it would be Oscar-worthy. -
Did Nic Cage have to get a restraining oreder on you in the past or something? You really have a stick up your ass about this and I can't see why. And I said that I liked the movie to people after I saw it. I was in the camp that thought it would kind of suck, but then I rented it, and it turned out to be a good, fun movie. Too bad for you that you didn't like it.
-
Why does Cage sound as though he has been drugged? Mind you, reading crap like the lines from this script it's no surprise really. And what is Ed Harris doing in this? America's Greatest Living Actor deserves better scripts.
-
i'm going to the big holiday 2007 movie kickoff tonight at my theater at 7-10pm. it's a double feature of bee movie and american gangster. nice thing to sit through after watching all 3 spidey movies this morning. we are in for a real spirited treat this holiday season at the movies after the mediocre line-up we had last year and especially after a messy summer movie season with a few exceptions. i kinda thought the first national treasure was a mixed bag as well. interesting how spongebob and the fockers were better choices that year. but it is more of a shut your brain off at the door kind of thing. good to see the queen herself helen mirren, bruce greenwood and the great ed harris go at it this time around. looking forward to it.
-
I think it was before Grindhouse when I saw the first trailer. When the words "the president's book of secrets" were uttered half of the theater broke out into laughter. "Dear diary, Monica came over again tonight and let me paint her toe nails..."
-
So the book holds all the secrets like who killed JFK, area 51??? and all he wants it for is to clear his grandaddy......Hmmmm :)

remember blair witch 'book of shadows?'
by lloyd bonafide the korean war veteran
that was this worst shit i ever saw. how could they!?!?!?
-
worse than blade 3, electra, and ghost rider. well, maybe not ghost rider..
-
This whole "secret history" of the U.S. theme? I loved that show.
-
was blair witch "book of shadows?" whatever.
-
So, if Bruce Greenwood is the President, that means the Ghost Rider kidnaps JFK? But if the Book tells who killed JFK, does that mean the Book tells the future, ergo is actually the Bible? But why the Rider would want a Bible for? Is the mullet somehow involved?
-
Now why would you apologize in your post? Are you actually sorry that people liked the film? Perhaps you're sorry because they're pussies in your feeble opinion? I'm confused...
But while we're on the subject of being sorry, I DO feel sorry for you and your ignorant closedmindedness. I am sorry for you that your life sucks. That you must call someone a "pussy" because they liked a movie you did not enjoy. I am sorry that people like you are entitled to their own opinion as asinine they may be. But most of all I am sorry that your mama didn't slap you upside the head more and teach you that nobody likes a dumb douche, you dumb douche.
-
this one looks pretty asinine. The last one was a good old fashioned conspiracy/treasure hunt but I'm not buying this whole Book of Secrets thing. Oh well, I'd be lying if I claimed my ass wouldn't be in that theater seat.
-
...and The Mummy sucked. I like some crappy movies, but its gotta be transcendent crap, not 100 million dollar earbleedingly loud crap because we can't be bothered crap.
-
but guyinthebackrow is definitely a dumb douche, so it all evens out
-
..calling someone a dick because they didn't like it or a pussy cause they did is sooo third grade. Lumping them all together as douches is also very meanspirited.
That said, you are all idiots. AHAHAHHHAHAHAAAHHAAAAA!
-
Nothing stood out as noteworthy but it was satisfying for the average movie that it was...
-
...and I just know Cage will repeat the like "I'm going to kidnap the President Of The United States" about 50 times like "The Declaration Of Independance" in the first.
-
AND YOU'RE DOING IT FOR *NOTHING*! KILLING ME'S NOT GOING TO BRING BACK YOUR *GODDAMN* HONEY!

Justin Bartha has to be the most pain in the ass of all time!
by gqtaste
most pain in the ass of all time. That prick alone ruined and otherwise decent film. It was like nails on a chack board.
-
its an enjoyable movie, when i first saw it i enjoyed it, its' one of those movies thath if you're flicking the tv channels and its on, you';ll watch it even though its a third of the way through. Really i dont understand the hate. its a movie, its not based ona comic book or book, nor a tv show. you dont like "popcorn movies" well whoop de do, go fuck yourself and let the people that do what thier movie.
nic cage, always liked his work, he's body of works recently has been a bit ropey, but this one shoudl put him back on track. and yes sometimes his hair is distracting. find a good wig maker dammit -
oh ...it's just a sequel.
-
are woven into Nic's rug..no need to see the movie now.
-
What the f&*k why does this guy make 4000 movies a year? I loved Leaving Las Vegas and Bringing Out The Dead, The Rock and Con Air but jeez, take a year off and go hunting deer or something. Maybe piss off tp your Uncle Frankies Turtle Island and get a tan. No more Next or Face Off or other corn flecked turds...
-
artyfufkin
-
that's all I wanted to say
-
A sequel to a shit film im not seeing! Cage continues his slide.
-
because I won't spend $12 to see this. Especially since it seemingly propagates the National Socialist myth of Abe Lincoln. I guess if you are going to get the OK to use the facilities of New Rome you gotta pay tribute to it's first Emperor.
-
.....after watching The Davinci Code movie.
-
After watching the first NT, I kept thinking, 'What a rip of The Da Vinci Code, I can't wait to see how Hanks and Howard knock that one out of the park, but it ended up making me appreciate NT all that much more.' I'm looking forward to this one!
-
honestly, the book of secrets?! Is this The Rock 2? I liked the first national treasure but it's going to be difficult to top that. The J. W. booth connection is a unique turn though.
-
...but it sure smells good!
-
was a great flick, and alot better.
