National Treasure 2 set to start filming at Mt. Rushmore

Uh, the first one wasn’t THAT great,folks. Why are we doing another one?

Actor Nicolas Cage and a crew are expected to arrive next month to film parts of the sequel to the 2004 movie "National Treasure" at Mount Rushmore National Memorial.

The producers of "National Treasure: Book of Secrets" have not yet obtained a filming permit from the National Park Service. Gerard Baker, Mount Rushmore superintendent, said he is still reviewing the plans but said he thinks there will be no problem getting a permit.

Baker said the movie’s producers had no plans to film on the face of Mount Rushmore, which is not allowed.

In "National Treasure: Book of Secrets," Cage returns as treasure hunter Ben Gates. Armed with missing pages of John Wilkes Booth’s diary, Gates tries to uncover the truth behind the 1865 assassination of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln, according to online accounts.

ooh! Great plot! Are we going to have a secret expedition inside the Lincoln Memorial to find out where the mystery staircase is too? BECAUSE I CAN’T WAIT.
