News > Nick Cage to star in National Treasure 2

According to RT , Nicholas Cage plans to bounce back from his latest stinker by…starring in another stinker.

National Treasure 2 (again produced by Jerry Bruckheimer) will ostensibly be about John Wilkes Booth, the Booth diary, and a bunch of Confederate gold, but in reality will just serve as an excuse for Nick Cage to strike poses near national landmarks while delivering hamfisted lines such as, "It's some kind of ocular device!"

Still, though, you've gotta give Cage and Bruckheimer some credit: in a time of huge body counts and pointless sex, they've made an oldschool adventure franchise that focuses on teaching kids history. Admirable, if not terribly entertaining.
