have any of you heard of this movie yet? my dad is a big dan brown (da vinci code) fan and found out about this one bc i guesss its similar. nicholas cage is on a treasure hunt...only problem is that the map to the treasure is on the back of the constitution...i dunno...sounds cool to me.

what do you guys think?

Might be a good one. I like Nicolas Cage' s acting.


I just watched the trailer (long). Looks interesting. Here' s the link:

Could be interesting, it is not a role I can picture Cage in though. I am a fan of most of his work, but there is a certain " type" of character that suits him, this one doesn' t seem to be it. I will probably check it out eventually (will go and watch the trailer later)

Nice! hadnt seen the trailer yet either, just what my dad told me. really cool actually. it looks like a good theater movie, as opposed to dvd rental. im a huge Washington dc fan, and have seen where they keep the constitution in the archives. that thing is incredibly guarded...it' ll be cool to see what they do with it.

*bump*

ok so I saw some more footage for this over the weekend and am more stoked for it. i think that keitel' s role is a lot bigger than i thought, judging from the trailer which doesnt even feature him. oh well. sorry for the bump, im just lookin forward to it.
