Anyone know why they never made a third movie? Answered


In this movie the president asks the Ben Gates character to pursue another treasure hunt. Does anyone know why they never made a third National Treasure?IMDB.com has a National Treasure 3 listed but the details are sketchy at best.

P.S Did Nicholas Cage find Jesus after losing all of his millions? He's staring in a big budget version of the Left Behind franchise.I heard on a movie show that the last 7 movies starring Nicholas Cage when straight to video. Sad.

That's just my two cents.

IMDB still shows it as a possibility. Who knows if, or when, it'll get made.

reply

I think it's because they're not allowed to tell the truth about aliens.

reply

Conflicting schedules and a very difficult script to write from what I've read is the reason for the delay.

I hope they do an NT3 as I really enjoyed the first two. They were fun films.

reply

I absolutely agree. This is a fun franchise...

Agreed

Abigail took all of his property and he didn't have the taxi fare to get to the auditions? Abigail is good at taking the property of people she is loosely connected to so I wouldn't be surprised.

Cage spoke with EW about the possibility of a third film while he was doing press for his thriller The Trust, and he indicated that it’s research and fact checking holding up the development of the film as he told them, “I do know that those scripts are very difficult to write, because there has to be some credibility in terms of the facts and fact-checking, because it was relying on historical events. And then you have to make it entertaining. I know that it’s been a challenge to get the script where it needs to be. That’s as much as I’ve heard. But they’re still working on it.”

I hope they check more facts than they did in the second one.
