A third installment in the ‘National Treasure’ film franchise is moving forward, with a script now approved by Disney. Director Jon Turteltaub revealed the development on Friday, stating, “It’s finally real.” The original films, released in 2004 and 2007, starred Nicolas Cage as Ben Gates, a treasure hunter. The announcement comes more than 20 years after the events of the second film, in which Gates famously stole the Declaration of Independence.
The confirmation signals a significant step toward production after years of speculation and attempts to revive the series. While details regarding the plot, cast, and release date remain undisclosed, the approved script indicates Disney’s commitment to continuing the adventure franchise. Turteltaub indicated he was planning to mention the news Friday night, suggesting the project is now actively being discussed and prepared for development.
This marks a turning point for the franchise, which had been dormant for over a decade. The success of the initial films, combined with renewed interest in adventure stories, likely contributed to Disney’s decision to greenlight a third installment.
