Disney register domain names, hinting at future movies
Hands up if you think there will be a NATIONAL TREASURE 3? Yeah, I'm certain there will be too. It's like any other franchise at Disney (which includes POTC), as long as they keep making money the studio will keep churning them out to us, probably with lesser quality but bigger budgets each time. According to Jim Hill Media, the following two domains were registered by Disney yesterday. Of course I've never seen any weight in this kind of development because they are probably just keeping them to stop other people nabbing the URL's in the future, but you never know it might be significant...
NATIONALTREASURE3DVD.COM NATIONALTREASURE4DVD.COM Combined, the two NATIONAL TREASURE movies have unbelievably made over $700 million worldwide (the last movie hasn't even opened in the U.K. yet), with the sequel being significantly more popular than the original movie. It's now surely just a matter of time before NATIONAL TREASURE 3 is in cinema's (probably 2010) and JHM might have the first substantiated rumor on the film's plot...Inside the Frank Wells building, there's already a brief plot description making the rounds. Which would supposedly send the Gates family off to Easter Island and beyond in search of Atlantis. More importantly, the pure, clean power source that was supposedly lost forever when this ancient civilization sank beneath the sea. Which -- were it to be harnessed today -- would immediately put an end to global warming. Not to mention making gas & oil obsolete.Also, the last line in NATIONAL TREASURE 2 could have something do with it. This was sent in by a reader to their site...
What do you make of the last scene of "Book of Secrets" ? The one where the President of the United States asks Benjamin Gates about what he thought about Page 47 in the President's book. And the historian / treasurer hunter replies that "It's life-altering."Though of course nothing can be written as yet because of the strike. Other domain names that Disney registered this week are also extremely interesting... BIGTHUNDERMOUNTAIN-MOVIE.COM BIGTHUNDERMOUNTAINMOVIE.COM THUNDERMOUNTAIN-MOVIE.COM THUNDERMOUNTAINMOVIE.COM That's four frikkin' domains about the God damn Thunder Mountain. Is that famous and classical Disney ride about to go the same way as PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN and the currently in development JUNGLE CRUISE movie? Jim Hill says Disney are trying to convince Jerry Bruckheimer to turn the ride into a big action Western franchise for them but he doesn't seem so keen as he is already working on a new series of films based on THE LONE RANGER.
