National Treasure 3: Director Gives Cautiously Optimistic Update On Film

National Treasure 3 has been a hot topic for film fans. The first two movies were a hit, and fans have been craving another adventure with Nicolas Cage’s character, Ben Gates. There are a thousand reasons why movies get delayed in production, but fans are hopeful this one will finally be done. The director of the original movie, Jon Turteltaub, gave an optimistic update on the film in a recent interview.

National Treasure 3: Script Being Written

Jon Turteltaub revealed that National Treasure 3 is getting a script. It is being written right now, and whether the movie happens will depend on the quality of the script. In his appearance on the National Treasure Hunt podcast, the director had this to say.

“It’s being written. That doesn’t mean it will be finished and be great, but if it’s being written it will definitely be momentous when we read it. We all know what’s in it. But there’s a very, very good writer writing it right now who tends to write really good movies. If the script comes out close to good and you can see the finish line from where you are, we’re making the movie.”

Furthermore, Turteltaub revealed he is confident Cage would come back and reprise his role as Ben Gates. While this development is far from a guarantee, the fact that an actual script is being written should excite fans. There are too many movies that fans are clamoring for, and they have no movement at all. National Treasure 3 at least has a script being worked on.

What Makes This Franchise So Popular?

Why are fans so passionate about National Treasure 3? I see two main reasons for this. The first is Nicolas Cage. The actor has a huge fanbase and cult following. People are drawn to his aura on screen and will go see anything that he is in. The second reason is that this movie franchise is good old-fashioned fun! The locations are familiar to most Americans, and it is a race against the clock to find a treasure. There are twists and turns along with exciting chase and shootout scenes and solving riddles.

Will National Treasure 3 win an Academy Award? Not a chance. However, moviegoers feel like they get their money’s worth when they see these films. That is what matters. While there are times when we love to see high-quality art, sometimes we want to sit back, relax, and have fun. Hopefully, National Treasure 3 is happening. The update was positive, and fans will remain cautiously optimistic until they hear more news.
