While giving an interview to collider about his new movie, Last Vegas, director Jon Turteltaub spoke about a new installment in his history mystery franchise, National Treasure.
“Collider: There was talk about National Treasure 3
hitting theaters for Christmas 2011, and now it’s just about Christmas 2013 and
the film hasn’t been shot yet. Why has
that been so difficult to get going, when it should be such a no-brainer?
JON
TURTELTAUB: If you can write the script,
we’ll take it! It’s so damn hard to
write a great historical mystery based on fact.
It’s not for lack of trying. We
want to do the movie. Disney wants to do
the movie. We’re just having the
damnedest time, writing it.
Do
you think it’s something that will still happen?
TURTELTAUB: I do.
I’ll bet that within two years, we’ll be shooting that movie.
Are
you close to being ready?
TURTELTAUB: We’re closer.
I’d say we’re about half-way there.
It’s not only writing a great historical mystery, but we’ve gotta write
something that has nothing to do with anything we’ve done before. The goal is to always have an original
sequel, as silly as that sounds. We
really want to make sure that the third one doesn’t just feel like a repeat of
the first one, or one too many.”
