National Treasure III On The Cards

Courtesy of Coming Soon we have the unenviable announcement: National Treasure 3 is happening. They’re its over, uncomfortable? So are we. Of course this was inevitable, National Treasure hit the screens in 2004 and with the sequel Book of Secrets, in 2007 it’s a franchise that has acquired $800 million in box office receipts.


It has been reported that Jerry Bruckheimer is all set to get the project moving, and likewise Nicolas Cage has always been pro-sequel when it comes to this franchise, we are sure that he commented as such after the release of Book of Secrets. Right now, Carlo Bernard and Doug Miro (Prince of Persia and The Sorceror’s Apprentice) are crafting the script for the third instalment.


Details for the direction of the third instalment are scarce, with no word whether Jon Voigt, Justin Bartha, Diane Kruger and Helen Mirren will return this time out.
