Disney does not want to seek the treasures of the nation
In the spring of 2014, the famous Hollywood producer Jerry Bruckheimer delighted fans of the National Treasure franchise with the information that he had a preliminary draft of the script for the third film about the adventurer Bene Gates. After new news stopped coming from the project's camp, the audience suspected that the creators of the film series had some complaints about the text. In a new interview with Collider, the director of the original dilogy, John Terteltaub, made it clear that the triquel has not yet been released, not because of problems with the script, but because of the policies of the management of the Disney studio.“The script for the third part was not perfect, - the director admitted. -But he was good enough for the studio to say, `` Keep going. '' They did not do this, although Jerry Bruckheimer is famous for his ability to turn good scripts into real masterpieces. It was much easier to get funding back when we shot the first film. We cannot film a triquel, not because one of our actors requires exorbitant fees. It's just that Disney people prefer to shoot other films, which, in their opinion, will bring more profit. ” In 2004, the franchise's first film grossed more than $ 347 million on a $ 100 million budget. Three years later, the sequel, National Treasure: Book of Secrets, was released, grossing $ 457 million worldwide.  To the disappointment of fans of the adventure dilogy, over the past decade, Nicolas Cage has badly damaged his reputation by filming frankly bad films. It looks like Disney's management thinks that the Oscar's career has gone downhill and that he will not be able to pull Nation's Treasure 3 to the level of self-sufficiency. In addition, since the release of The Book of Secrets, the Walt Disney Empire has become the proud owner of Lucasfilm and Marvel Studios. According to Terteltaub, at the moment, House of Mouse sees much more box-office potential in the films of the space saga "Star Wars" and the Marvel universe than in the film series "National Treasure".
