Hey, I could re-direct you...to your own post! Is that a first?
Anyway, nice to see Nic Cage returning to crap. Adaptation seems like it was just a dream now....
"From the producer of Pirates of the Caribbean"
i just saw the tv spot for this and normally i would think that its a piece of sh*t but it reminds of the old school treasure hunting films or tv shows...like the goonies et al.
ooh this guy also directed Three Ninja. I remember renting both Three Ninja and Cool Running for my 13th birthday party. I didn't even know I was in fact holding world's first Jon Turteltaub retrospective.
FYI, Pete's 13th Birthday Party was last week. I was there, and he didn't even have cake. What the hell man? On top of that, after watching Cool Runnings all his shitty friends thought they were cool when they attempted to speak with a Jamaican accent.
Not fun.
Hah!
I mean... Mmm hmm hmm hmm.

Dis digs in for 'Treasure 2'
Source: Hollywood Reporter
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."
I think the Marketing people at Disney are a bunch of moneys on roller blades smoking cigarettes and picking each other with sticks

What is wrong with your brain, AndyK?

hmmm, i just watched this movie on DVD and came here to see what other people thought, and there's not one review to be read.
anyways, here's mine....
this movie sucked.
Yeah, it should have stayed buried.
hardy har
there goes my best joke.
story of your life.
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.
