Walt Disney Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer Films have begun laying out a map for "National Treasure 2."

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.

"National Treasure," which stars Nicolas Cage, was released in November. To the surprise of many observers, it overcame lukewarm reviews and became a huge hit, grossing more than $173 million domestically. Since then, Disney had played down the idea of a sequel, saying it would not do one unless a good story could be told.

The first movie had a small army working on it. The film has "story by" credits for Jim Kouf, Charles Segars and Buena Vista Pictures marketing head Oren Aviv and "screenplay by" credits for Kouf, Cormac Wibberley and Marianne Wibberley.

It is unclear whether any cast from the first film will return.

Jason Reed is overseeing for Disney.

Char Oman, Mike Stenson, Aviv and Segars are exec producing.

Poirier wrote Disney's "Swiss Family Robinson," which attracted Jonathan Mostow to sign on as director. Poirier also has done uncredited production work on the studio's "Antarctica" and "Shaggy Dog."

This movie was terrible.
The techie guy that was in this movie for comedic relief made me grimace every time he said something. He's a pretty awkward actor.
