Is this legit?

Loved the first one, think of it as "poor man's" Indiana Jones. Sequel was as many sequels go - not as good but certainly worthy of seeing. If this is legit, I hope that the returning cast includes Bruce Greenwood as the President, who is still waiting for NC's answer as to what is written on that page in the Book of Secrets (whatever it was called)

It's highly misleading - they have a writer. That's it.

Nothing is approved or greenlit yet and nobody is signed on to it.

Damn it got me. You are right. Turtletaub just said that it's going to be written and that they will try to involve everyone when and if it gets greenlit.

Guess they learned trying to do national treasure without Nicholas Cage doesn't make money…….

Justin Bartha trying to complete the double trifecta of annoying 4th lead with this and the Hangover trilogy.

Might be time to dig up my treatise for National Con Rock

this would impress even Deadpool…

Nobody will touch that without a Deepfake Sean Connery pitch. What are you thinking?!

To be fair, I originally wrote it in 2019. I'm not sure I knew what a deepfake was then.

CGI Sean Connery is in one of my pitches for Top Gun 3.

I post this all over and no one seems to care, but this one needs to be about the fair copy of the DOI.
This is the version of the DOI that was believed to have been signed on July 4, but has been lost to history. Seriously, it's missing, may have been destroyed to keep it from the British, may have been destroyed when copies were printed to announce it to the colonies (those surviving copies are likely worth tens of millions now and half of the surviving 26 have been found since middle of the 20th century)…but just imagine finding that thing at a garage sale.

So basically it's…The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent - Part 2?

I'd absolutely watch that with a smile.

Every day I wait for TC's return phone call that my film has been greenlit, and every day it never comes.

San Francisco, 2026. Dr. Stanley Goodspeed (Nicolas Cage) has returned to Alcatraz Prison for the first time in 30 years to promote his book "Carla Was the Prom Queen" - tales of his harrowing adventure to the landmark 30 years ago in which he helped rescue 100 hostages and save the West Coast from the threat of VX rockets under the command of rogue Brigadier General Francis Hummel.


Also visiting the tourist attraction that Saturday afternoon is famous international treasurer hunter Benjamin Gates (Nicolas Cage), along with his smoking hot wife Abigail Chase (whatever her real name is), Riley "I will never be a leading man" Poole (Justin Bartha), and Jon Voight (Jon Voight) on the quest to find Al Capone's hidden vault. You see, that one Geraldo opened on TV 40 years ago was a phony, and Gates and his team believe the real vault is in a secret compartment somewhere on Alcatraz containing wealth and history worth a fortune.

When terrorists descend on the island to spread a weaponized version of the coronavirus, these two men of science are forced back into action, quickly forming an alliance based on their passion for history, their ability to solve puzzles, and their ABILITY TO SAY WORDS IN A VERY EXCITED VOICE!

But the terrorists are savage, brutal, and highly trained, and the two doctors are in over their heads from the get-go. But fate, thy name is Cage on this day. For the last tour boat to the island carries a man who has been sight-seeing with his family in the Bay Area that day, a former Army Ranger with the most perfectly dangling hair and southern accent that Jesus Christ ever blessed the Earth with. And when Cameron Poe (Nicolas Cage) fights off 19 terrorists equipped with COVID-19 plasma-based rifles to save Dr. Goodspeed and Dr. Gates, he'll turn to these two new friends and say, What do you think I'm gonna do? I'm gonna save the ****in' day!

National Con Rock: The Movie

I would pay so much money to see this

That is fantastic Porkchop.

Also, I learned last week that somehow Con Air wasn't a Michael Bay movie. I'd have lost that bet over and over again.

Apparently it's Simon West. Who I also learned directed the Never Gonna Give You Up music video.

You can tell it's not a Michael Bay movie because there aren't 400 American flag shots.

Except in gif form, I like Con Air a lot less than NT or The Rock. In fact, I think the Rock is my next TPE Rewatchble.
