National Treasure 2 Cast Discovered

A few more new casting details courtesy of JoBlo today reveal more about National Treasure 2. It's already filming in Washington DC at the moment, but the remaining cast has only been revealed recently. Oscar winner Helen Mirren has been cast as Emily Appleton, Nicolas Cage's mother, and Ed Harris has been cast as Jeb Wilkinson, the primary villain.

In National Treasure: Book of Secrets, this time Nicolas Cage's character Ben Gates has a connection to John Wilkes Booth and the mysterious Knights of the Gold Circle. Jeb Wilkinson, played by Harris, has some information about Gates' father and initially sets himself as an ally, but eventually becomes the villain, much like the first film. Also returning from the first film are Diane Kruger, Justin Bartha and Harvey Keitel. National Treasure: Book of Secrets is currently set for release late this year on December 21st, 2007.

Honestly, I really liked the first one, even moreso than The Da Vinci Code, and I'm really looking forward to seeing what they can do with this sequel and if they can top themselves.

yea, awesome http://DVDRentalForums.com
Nicholas Cage

With a movie as awful as the first National Treasure, I imagine topping that shouldn't be too much of a challenge
bob

This is going to be great; I can only hope they greenlight Battlefield Earth 2 as well.

it wasn't the worst movie, but definitely wasn't close to being an ok movie. He's already rich and at the end he tells his sidekick, if we ever find anything of value ever again I'll let you call the shots..does that mean this time his sidekick's going to take the lead {doubt it}

Good one, Bob! My feelings for that classic movie National Treasure can be found in my tongue-in-cheek review: http://billjohnsonsblog.blogspot.com/2004/12/movie-review-national-treasure.html

This is totally cool. I saw the first "National Treasure" movie and it was awesome. Little did I know that they are making another "National Treasure" movie. My parents are gonna freak when I tell them this!!! I want to know when it's gonna come out. That way I can tell my parents if they want to know. I want to know,too.
WTF???

Who keeps putting that turd Nicholas Cage in movies? Seriously. I'd rather watch paint dry on a cloudy day. I expect the paint would do just as well in the peice of crap movie also.
Becca

Becca

Hey Rochelle, you and I are one of a kind, I guess. We both think one of the guys in the movie are hot, so we would probably get along pretty well, wouldn't you think?
kAYLA

WELL...i happen to be cast in this movie as an extra and it looks like it will be quite entertaining..look forward to a great show!
Renee

Becca

hey now, i'm in school and i ain't no history lover either. although i have one of the best history teacher in my entire life. he makes learning history so much fun, even for those who hate history. he reminds me of my 7th grade history teacher, who was even more fun than this guy. anyway, i can't wait for this sequel to come out.
Becca

by the way, i'm a freshman in high school.
Like, OMG, I mean totally!

Hey Kayla, WELL, I too have been cast as an extra in this movie, but during their shoot here at Mt. Rushmore in Rapid City, South Dakota. I am like totally stoked about it too! TTFN, Marc
Holy SHIT!!!!!!!

abdi

Becca

Lol yeah they wouldn't have to do too much to be better than the first one.
Yes, no, yes, no, wait, no, yes...no

Hey NT blog, Is anyone submitting comments on this site actually in Rapid City, South Dakota where the cast and crew are currently shooting? I, like 200 others in this small town, was told I was going to be an extra, then as the industry dictates, it has been changed many MANY times, culminating in a MUCH smaller extra role...which is still better than nothing I spose. Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone else was reading this from Rapid City or the surrounding area. Oh, and FYI, Rapid City, SD is the closest "larger" city where Mount Rushmore is located (Keystone, SD). It is also within 30 miles of STurgis, SD where one of the margest motorcycle rallies in the country is held every August. TTFN,
Yes, no, yes, no, wait, no, yes...no

Sorry, had a typo in there... "largest"
belle

I saw the articles and then must have missed how to applyy for an extra. I didn't think they were filming until later. Where did you find out about being an extra?
Becca

Hey Belle, I don't know but I'd like to try out as an extra.
Baxton Ardent

when is it coming out
Becca

it's coming out december 21st, 2007.
Yes, no, yes, no, wait, no, yes...no

Belle, I saw the article in the Easter Sunday Rapid City Urinal..umm, err, I mean Journal, and it said they had an open casting the day before (typical for RC news). So I e-mailed the address at the end of the article and got a call back a week later. All the extra processes are done with, so they are not taking any more extra applicants, so I am completely amazed I got in. After I shoot I will tell the NT post what I did, and what it was like. I am quite giddy I must say. TTFN, Yes, no, yes, no, wait, no, yes...no
LST50

ZeroX

Miss M

I just talked to my friend that works for our company, and he sent me a picture of Nick Cages airplane. (We are all pilots) Very cool! I am thinking that I may need to take a vacation to the black hills area really really soon! Loved the first movie, and will surely love the second one. He had me hooked at Moonstruck. Is he currently single? Yummy....
Becca

I don't know if he is right now or not. I'd like to know as well.

Monty J.

The first one was amazing, but i'm not so sure about the sequal. I'm hoping it will be good, but most of the time people try to make sequals that just aren't good.

i thought the first one was a good movie, one that u could watch a few times. i liked the idea of of a hidden map and the whole story line, hope the second one is as cool as this one. who doesnt like billions of dollers worth of tresure?
my brother

my brother was an extra in the 2nd movie in S.D.. he thinks Nicholas Cage was a rude man. in the movies he seems nice and funny, but my brother says as soon as he is off camera he is rude, acts like a snob, and so on. -what do you think?.....
An extra...

Hi. I was an extra in SD for the movie and I am not sure Nick was any more rude than one would expect an actor, or any professional doing their job to be. I believe since he is a character actor, he is expected to get into character and stay there long before he is on set, and he needs to stay in that mindset through the day of shooting, all the while working with the directors and crew on how he can help make the script or action better. I feel he is just serious about getting everything right. Perhaps he is OCD, I dunno. I worked within 12 feet of him for over 4 hours one day, and 8 the next. I heard him speak, and I heard his tone when interacting with the "production team". I didn't hear any rudeness but I also didn't follow him throughout his Black Hills travels. I know he visited Reptile Gardens and I overheard him telling a story about how "freakin huge" the movie star crocodile/alligator is they have there. He was truly amazed by that animal. Anyway, I was able to speak to Helen Mirren, Tim Murphy, Michael Maise, and was yelled at by Ed Harris when he said "shut up, this is a movie set". lol They were nice and approachable. But if you were "hired" to work the movie, you were not allowed to approach the big stars, i.e Nick, Harvey Keitel, Alicia Coppola, Alonzo whatever...because if you did, then you would no longer be a part of the movie business. lol They just have too much to deal with without having those allowed behind the scenes hounding them for autographs and pictures while trying to shoot the scene. Jon Voight is by far the nicest man working that movie. He is a great man and such a compassionate person. He oerformed many random acts of kindness during his stay here in the hills. So, I am not sure Nick Cage is a horse's ass, no matter how much he may have seemed to be. Hard for those of us living in South Dakota to properly read those personalities from California. Apples and Oranges, ya know?
