“The one for Disney+ is a much younger cast,” said mega-producer Jerry Bruckheimer.
Disney+ is currently in the process of developing a TV series based on director Jon Turtletaub’s 2004 action/adventure blockbuster National Treasure, which starred Nicolas Cage as treasure-seeking historian Benjamin Franklin Gates.
The last time audiences saw the cast of the big screen version was for the 2007 sequel, National Treasure: Book of Secrets. Since the beginning of the year, Bad Boys 4 Life co-writer Chris Bremner has been working on the screenplay for the franchise’s third installment. Having done the first two films, Turtletaub recently directed two episodes of NBC’s musical comedy/drama, Zoe’s Extraordinary Playlist.
In a recent interview with Collider, the franchise’s producer Jerry Bruckheimer talked about the difference between the film and the television versions of National Treasure: “We’re certainly working on one National Treasure for streaming and we’re working on one for the big screen.
