Director Jon Turteltaub tells the LA Daily News that the sequel to Disney's 2004 Nicolas Cage hit, National Treasure, will start filming the first of the year.

"We are just about to start preproduction," says Turteltaub. "We'll have Nic, Justin Bartha, Diane Kruger, Jon Voight and Harvey Keitel... Everyone's back except anyone who's in jail or died."

He adds that the sequel will take our intrepid adventurers to "exciting destinations within America as well as around the world. As we were shooting the first one, it kept changing, so I'm scared to commit to anything, but I wouldn't be surprised if Mount Rushmore made an appearance."

Like the first film, Turteltaub co-produces with Jerry Bruckheimer.

I loved the first one. Let's hope that the second one lives up to the first.

Same here. I didn't really want to rent it, but there wasn't much selection at the local store at the time so we grabbed it. We were pleasantly surprised.

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer tells MTV that the highly-anticipated sequel to National Treasure is getting underway.

"I met with Nic yesterday, and it's getting very close," he said. "We're going to start filming in January."

Discussing the National Treasure 2 script, Bruckheimer revealed: "It's another little treasure hunt, and this time it involves [Abe] Lincoln and John Wilkes Booth and 18 pages which are actually missing from [Booth's] diary."

Teasing the plot further, Bruckheimer posed the central question of the sequel. "What was in those 18 pages?" he asked.

I got the first movie for free, a friend gave it to me. I knew why after I watched it. It's really boring and lame.

I won't be watching the sequel.

On November 15th, Disney Enterprises registered two domain names for National Treasure 2 that give a clue as to what the sequel's subtitle might be. The company bought the names NationalTreasure2TheBookofSecrets.com and TheBookofSecretsNationalTreasure2.com.

"The Book of Secrets" makes sense, considering that producer Jerry Bruckheimer said previously that the sequel involves Abraham Lincoln, John Wilkes Booth and 18 pages which are actually missing from Booth's library.

Director Jon Turteltaub and stars Nicolas Cage, Justin Bartha, Diane Kruger, Jon Voight and Harvey Keitel return for the sequel, targeted for a December 21, 2007 release.
