Enough explanation from me and hopefully useful for all of us.
National Treasure 3 may be stuck in development hell, but there are quite a few stories that could be on page 47 of the President’s Book of Secrets. President’s Book of Secrets in National Treasure 2? The answer could very well provide a plotline for the long-awaited National Treasure 3. Released in 2004, National Treasure was a promising movie that had the potential to develop into a long-running, profitable franchise for Disney. The movie stars Nicolas Cage, Jon Voight, Diane Kruger, and Justin Bartha. National Treasure followed protagonists Ben, Abigail, and Riley on their search for a long-lost historical treasure based on a map found on the back of the Declaration of Independence. Between the high-concept adventure and a winning cast, the sequel, National Treasure: Book of Secrets, followed shortly after in 2007. Plans for National Treasure 3 were put into motion after the release of Book of Secrets. A third film felt promising by 2010 when it was reported writers Carlo Bernard and Doug Miro had been hired, and a script was in development at Disney. Things were slowing in 2013, though, with producer Jerry Bruckheimer only reporting that National Treasure 3 was still in development and the script was still being written. In 2018, Turteltaub commented on National Treasure 3’s status, not necessarily confirming it was not moving forward but rather that development had stalled with concerns about paying people fairly despite a limited budget and Disney’s priorities on expanding and developing other projects also in the pipeline.
National Treasure 3 is still stuck in developmental stages, its delay is not for lack of a viable story. The references to a mysterious page 47 made by the President of the United States (played by Bruce Greenwood) to the titular book of secrets from National Treasure 2 meant the table has already been set for a new adventure. There are many possibilities for content that could be on page 47 that would serve as the basis for National Treasure 3.
We’re going to beg and plead. We’ll have him in for two seconds. He’s our favorite actor out of everyone. We pitched him as Ben Gates before he was Ben Gates. He was our first choice.
Cage has been waiting to make his franchise return for nearly 15 years since talks of National Treasure 3’s development began from producer Jerry Bruckheimer, only for it to have languished in development hell since. The confirmation of the National Treasure TV show’s development left many concerned that the door had been closed to the original star, with Cage himself even expressing his doubts of the sequel’s potential with development having floundered for so long and his own box office draw having lowered in the years since. In spite of these concerns, Bruckheimer did confirm this past May that National Treasure 3 was still in the works for Cage to return, expressing his love of working with the Oscar winner.
