![]() In this case, you want them to enjoy themselves with mom and dad, or the whole family, and also get them to look in their history books in a way that isn't, "Oh, you must read, and you must learn." It helps them to enjoy the ride even more because there's a level of believability to it. I'm one of those people that believes that the power of film is intense, and you have to really think about it, responsibly. They're really the future, aren't they? So, I want to treat that carefully. Nicolas Cage: Children, to me, are of the utmost importance. Paul Fischer: What has been your experience having young fans, since the first 'National Treasure'? Let's do it." So, I did it, and I'm happy I did it. There are worse things to do than to inspire especially the youngsters to look in their history books, so I thought, "Let's go. If John Turteltaub has a genius, it's that he's made movies without a gun that are entertaining, and you can take the whole family. So, having been a fan of Basil Rathbone and Sherlock Holmes, I thought, "Why not bring Ben Gates back as a modern version, if you will, and archeological version of a detective, looking for the mysteries of these treasures?" It seemed wonderfully positive. Just the actors and the characters stay the same. When you change the treasure, you change the whole story, and you get new clues that are historically accurate, and you get new locations. So, to me, 'Book of Secrets' is like a movie unto itself. And, at the same time, he has a terrific gift for comedy, and he would be able to embrace that Commedia dell'arte, if you will. When they cast Bruce Greenwood, I realized that there would be a level of believability 'cause he looks Kennedy-esque. Then, I started thinking about it, and I started laughing, and I realized that that was the joy of it - that it was funny and it was absurd. ![]() How is Ben Gates going to kidnap the President of the United States?"

And then, I said, "Woah, hold on, new rules. When they first presented the idea of Civil War, Confederate gold, John Wilkes Booth and the Lincoln assassination, right off the bat, for me, personally, that was more interesting, historically. I wanted to make sure that we could go in a direction that would raise the stakes, and also hopefully be more interesting. Fortunately, working with John Turteltaub, in particular, he really cares about the story. They realize they have a winner, and then they just throw money at it and they don't care. Largely, the fear with sequels is that people get lazy. In this case, I do believe that, if you're going to do a sequel, it has to promise to be better than the original, or at least as good. Nicolas Cage: You may be aware that I've not done a sequel before, and the reason being that, generally speaking, I never like to repeat myself. Paul Fischer: What was the criteria for you to sign onto this project? And, what do you think sets this sequel apart from the original film? But it's all in the name of family entertainment. Oscar Nicolas Cage has gone his way to avoid doing sequels to his own movies, but three years after National Treasure, Cage's Ben Gates is back, unraveling a mystery that goes back to the Civil War and ends up kidnapping the President.

If your gonna cover up a UFO, you better have a place to store it. Tied in with the Roswell theory is Area 51. The reason many believe this may be the topic of page 47 is yep… you guessed it. In 1990 the military else reports proving the crash was an Air Force ballon, however, this hasn’t stoped conspiracy theorists from claiming, “alien UFO crash”. In 1947 a nuclear test surveillance ballon crashed near a ranch outside Roswell, New Mexico. Rumors:Īlthough page 47 is most likely a cliffhanger that has yet to be written, the internet has of course taken a couple stabs at guessing.
