Visually, Pearl Harbor was topnotch. It was just that stupid love story triangle that ruined it. I'd have cut out Ben Affleck's character completely. Or simply recast him with someone suitable for the role and completely minimize the role's importance. And Josh Hartnett wouldn't have died. And Kate Beckinsale would have appeared topless at least once.Timon/Pumba fan wrote: But hey, Jerry Bruckheimer has done worse. Kangaroo Jack and Pearl Harbor anyone?
He didn't keep it all, though. He split it up and gave it to museums all over the world. In the sequel, he could do the same thing...Loomis wrote:However, with the huge amounts of money that Gates now has, what motivation would he have to seek furtrher riches?

Yeah, but with his finder's fee, he still managed to do pretty well for himself. I still agree that a sequel could be a beautiful thing.

The Roanoke concept is actually not a bad idea. When I first heard about a sequel in the works, I thought it would be pretty lame to re-hash the whole freemasons secret-clues lost treasure idea. But there are so many fascinating mysteries from American history that they could investigate. Like, with the Lost Colony, they could try to figure out what happened, and maybe work in a sub-plot with the descendents of Virginia Dare. Or, they could do a movie about the 11th and 12th century Norse explorers of Northeastern North America, and what they may have left behind. Or, they could look into the ancient American civilizations like the mound-builders or the Anasazi, or even what really happened to the Mayan civilization. The possibilities are endless, ans they need not always end with the finding of a huge treasure. Rather, it could just be the discovery of an important historical event that people have wondered about for years.Escapay wrote:I'd personally rather not see a "family of archaeologists save the world" story for National Treasure. Perhaps they could have the series of movies continually have historical ties. I read at the IMDB boards an idea for the lost colony of Roanoke. I would love to see that idea for a sequel.
Love It.
I agree with you that that Ben and Abigail should still be together, married or otherwise. That is the one thing I never really cared for in the Indy movies.I personally would rather see Ben and Abigail still together in the sequel. They don't necessarily need to be parents or even married, but at the end of the first one, they both run into the new house, implying, at least to me, that they were staying together. At the end of all the Indy movies, the relationships were never finalized like that. Heck, in the last one, the girl fell into a bottomless abyss.
Nice idea. I'd play the part. :)He's adorable and so funny. He has to be in the movie, or I won't be happy.Maybe Riley could fall in love in the sequel...
