LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - What's next: messages stitched into the seams of Betsy Ross' American flag?
Walt Disney Pictures will reteam with producer Jerry Bruckheimer to make a sequel to the surprise adventure hit "National Treasure."

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Jon Turteltaub will return to the helm, with "Swiss Family Robinson" scribe Gregory Poirier writing the screenplay. The story line and whether or not cast from the original will return are currently unknown.

"National Treasure" starred Nicolas Cage as treasure hunter Benjamin Franklin Gates, who steals the Declaration of Independence to access the treasure map rumored to be sketched on its back. The film grossed more than $173 million in the U.S. and approximately $337.6 million worldwide.

"Treasure" also starred Diane Kruger, Sean Bean, Harvey Keitel, Jon Voight and Justin Bartha.

They shouldn't bring back the original cast, should they go ahead with the sequel. Would make the original's storyline obsolete.

I think bringing back Nick Cage and his partner would work. They have plenty of $$$ to fund any kind of new wacky adventure. Should be good.

-HECK!

Perhaps the writers will explain how gold found by the Crusaders ended up with the founding fathers.

I THINK THEY SHOULD JUST STICK TO THE ORGINAL. IT IS RARE THE SEQUAL IS AS GOOD OR BETTER THAT THE FIRST, WHY MESS WITH A HIT.

well, my face looks like bluesfan avatar, a sequel would be lame they should keep with the original 1. What would they do anyway have nick have a baby with his wife and than he finds treasure it would be gay

I agree. Hey, whats this, theres been another post in the Matthew Reilly thread in books. Oh, and its by me. Check it out cottonman.

lol

Id love for there to be a sequel 😄
Maybe the 'team' could go in another treasure hunt and get in trouble and all, I know how people usually hate sequels -and yeah there are many that suck, but there r many good ones.

Did anyone else feel like this movie was a "DaVinci Code" rip-off?

I'd def like to see a sequel if the storyline is as good as the original...maybe they could explain how all the treasures got in the hands of the free maisons..like a prequel or something..

I read the storyline at Dark Horizons

it looks pretty good

Nicholas Cage is busy, he'll be filthy rich by 08

I hope there already isnt a thread for this...
