CNN-IBN's Entertainment Editor Rajeev Masand spoke to Nicolas Cage in London recently.
Rajeev Masand: National Treasure is your first sequel. What’s the best reason then to do a sequel?
Nicolas Cage: The best reason to do a sequel would be if you could improve upon the original in some way. It depends upon the nature of the character. I think people enjoy sequels because they like a degree of certainty and they become familiar with the characters.
The best example of a sequel series to me is Sherlock Holmes. I really liked the movies and how Holmes and Dr Watson would interact.
I’m hoping that with National Treasure, my character could be this historical, archaeological version of a modern Sherlock Holmes on treasure hunts. And they are positive movies, they don’t promote violence or any kind of ill will. I think they are movies you can take the whole family to and have the kids look in to history books and that’s always a good thing.
