UPDATE - Just remember where you heard it first....

NATIONAL TREASURE 2 is already filming in Washington, DC so it's surprising that no casting details have been announced yet. Well that's what JoBlo.com is here for! We've got the scoop on which Academy Award favorites have joined the cast of BOOK OF SECRETS. Signing on to play Nicolas Cage's mother, Emily Gates, is recent Oscar-winner Helen Mirren. She's there to help link Cage's Ben Gates to his family's connection to John Wilkes Booth and the mysterious Knights of the Gold Circle. Now we have our protagonists in Cage and Mirren but a movie is only as strong as its bad guy and Disney has managed to cast one of the best "bad guy" actors around: four time Oscar nominee Ed Harris. Harris will star as Jeb Wilkinson, who has some information about Gates' father and aligns himself as an ally, but...well, you can guess where it goes from here. Talk about some pretty impressive additions to the cast!... Returning to star in SECRETS from the first film are Diane Kruger, Justin Bartha and Harvey Keitel. Disney has BOOK OF SECRETS scheduled for release on December 17th of this year.

Extra Tidbit: Harris played bad guy to Cage's good guy before in 1996's THE ROCK.

What a cast
The first one was ok, and I'm not so sure about this one but with a cast like this, Book of Secrets could turns out to be a good movie after all...

Diane Kruger is gorgeous, but it's nothing compared to Helen Mirren's gorgeousness.

The first was phenomenal and as good as any movie when looking at entertainment value. I'm glad #2 is coming this year. 2007 looks like a real knock-out year for big movies.

I'm seriously looking forward to this movie now. The first film was just fun. Not groundbreaking or Oscar-worthy, just fun. I hope they keep that up with the second one!

National Treasure sucks but...
...these are some good casting choices. Ed Harris rocks and we all know Helen Mirren is a top-notch actress. I guess I'm one of the few that just didn't really care for the first Treasure. I'll probably see this flick, I just hope it's an improvement on the velveeta-cheesy first flick.
