In this sequel, treasure hunter Ben Gates (Nicolas Cage) stumbles upon a worldwide conspiracy concerning Abraham Lincoln’s assassination, after he finds the 18 pages that have been missing from John Wilkes Booth’s diary.

NATIONAL TREASURE will thrill audiences this holiday season, combining a high-stakes crime caper with a quest for ancient treasure. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Jon Turteltaub have teamed up to bring a fresh adventure story which traverses from 2,000-year-old mysteries to a daring high-tech heist, as the action unfolds against the backdrop of America’s most famous monuments and landmarks.
From the secrets of America’s past comes this action-packed modern-day treasure hunt. Academy Award winner NICOLAS CAGE stars as Benjamin Franklin Gates, who has spent his whole life searching for a fortune few dare to believe exists. This is the legendary Knights Templar Treasure, rumored to be the most awesome bounty in human history, and hidden somewhere in America. For six generations, the Gates family has chased after clues left behind by America’s Founding Fathers and scoured the nation in search of the treasure.

Now the maverick Ben Gates has made a breakthrough. At last, he knows where the ultimate hint to the treasure’s location lies: a hidden map on the back of the Declaration of Independence. As knowledge of the map spreads to a ruthless adversary (SEAN BEAN), Ben is faced with a terrible dilemma. Either Ben must be first to steal America’s most sacred document — one guarded by the most sophisticated security in the world — or let it fall into dangerous hands.

In a race against time, his rivals and the authorities, Gates teams together with his tech-whiz friend Riley (JUSTIN BARTHA) and the alluring, but unwitting, National Archives conservator Abigail Chase (DIANE KRUGER) to accomplish the unthinkable. Will they succeed in pulling off one of the most ambitious heists of all time? Will the Declaration of Independence lead Ben closer to the treasure? In one twisting, turning cliffhanger after another — from the ventilation shafts of the National Archives to the catacombs beneath New York City — the answers are revealed as Ben Gates unlocks the mystery behind America’s greatest NATIONAL TREASURE.
 

Captain. Kirk won’t get to boldly go anywhere with his old pal Spock in the new “Star Trek” movie.  

William Shatner is disappointed there’s no place for him in the new “Star Trek” movie. While Leonard Nimoy is reprising his role as the pointy-eared Vulcan in next year’s science-fiction flick, William Shatner is not on board as Kirk.

“I couldn’t believe it. I’m not in the movie at all. Leonard, God bless his heart, is in, but not me,” Shatner, 76, told The Associated Press on Thursday. “I thought, what a decision to make, since it obviously is a decision not to make use of the popularity I have to ensure the movie has good box office. It didn’t seem to be a wise business decision.”

Director J.J. Abrams announced last summer that Nimoy would reprise the role he originated opposite Shatner in the 1960s television show and played again in six big-screen adventures.

Abrams said Shatner probably would have a part in the film, which is due in theaters in December 2008. But while Shatner said he had a couple of meetings with Abrams, nothing came of it.

Abrams’ “Trek” film, whose plot is being kept under wraps by distributor Paramount, recounts an early adventure for the crew of the starship Enterprise, with Chris Pines as the young Kirk and Zachary Quinto as the young Spock.

Past “Trek” films presented an obstacle to the revival of Shatner’s Kirk, who died at the end of 1994’s “Star Trek: Generations.”

But in science fiction, you can never truly say die. Spock was killed off in 1982’s “Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan” then resurrected in 1984’s “Star Trek: The Search for Spock,” with Nimoy’s Vulcan living on to co-star in three more films, two episodes of “Star Trek: The Next Generation” and now Abrams’ new movie.
