Disney+ Series 'National Treasure: Edge of History' Introduction Teaser

National Treasure: Edge of History Trailer

"We find the 3 boxes, we find the treasure." This may not be the sequel we've been waiting for… but it might still be an entertaining series. Disney recently revealed they're now in production on a new streaming series titled National Treasure: Edge of History - a continuation of the beloved National Treasure set of movies from 2004 & 2007. I'm big fans of both - which featured Nicolas Cage as treasure hunter Benjamin Gates. Unfortunately they didn't get Cage back for this, which instantly dulls most of my excitement. This new series instead is told from the point of view of Jess Morales, a twenty-year-old DREAMer who, with her diverse group of friends, sets off on the adventure of a lifetime to uncover her mysterious family history and find lost treasure. Lisette Olivera stars as Jess, with a main cast including Lyndon Smith, Zuri Reed, Jake Austin Walker, Antonio Cipriano, Jordan Rodrigues as Ethan, plus Justin Bartha & Harvey Keitel from the films. And Catherine Zeta-Jones as the villain Billie, a badass billionaire, black-market antiquities expert. This tease is more of an announcement / reveal - but the featurette has way more footage.

Disney+'s Edge of History stars Lisette Olivera as Jess, a brilliant and resourceful DREAMer who embarks on the adventure of a lifetime to uncover the truth about her family's mysterious past and save a lost Pan-American treasure. The new series is described as an “expansion" of the original movie franchise. National Treasure: Edge of History is a series written by Cormac & Marianne Wibberley (both writers on the original two National Treasure films, plus The 6th Day, I Spy Bad Boys II, The Shaggy Dog, G-Force) along with Rick Muirragui. With episodes directed by filmmaker Mira Nair (Mississippi Masala, Monsoon Wedding, The Namesake, Queen of Katwe, "A Suitable Boy"). It's executive produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, Cormac & Marianne Wibberley, Rick Muirragui, Jonathan Littman, KristieAnne Reed, Mira Nair, as well as original director Jon Turteltaub. Edge of History will include 10 episodes in its first season and will come from some of the same creative team behind the first two movies. Disney will release the new National Treasure series streaming on Disney+ sometime in 2023 - filming is just underway now. First impression? Who's into this?

Blumhouse is Making a ‘Fantasy Island’ Movie

Image
The frightmasters at Blumhouse have come up with their most terrifying idea yet! They’re developing…*checks notes*…a  Fantasy Island movie! Yes, that’s right – a film based on the 1970s Aaron Spelling series about an island where all your dreams can come true…for a price.  Jeff Wadlow , who directed Blumhouse’s  Truth or Dare , will helm the TV-to-film adaptation. Even if you’ve never seen a single episode of  Fantasy Island , I’m betting you’re familiar with it. It was a brightly-lit ’70s-’80s TV show that featured Ricardo Montalbán as a mysterious man in a white suit, and Hervé Villechaize as his sidekick who was famous for yelling, “The plane! The plane!” Here are the rather whimsical opening credits. Fantasy Island According to Deadline , the folks at Blumhouse took one look at this and said, “We’re making that a movie.”  Truth or Dare director Jeff Wadlow will be behind the camera, and he’ll also co-write the film with his  Truth or Dare writers  Chris Roach and Jillian

The 14 Most Dangerous Mission: Impossible Stunts, Ranked Worst To Best

Image
"Mission: Impossible" premiered on CBS in 1966 as an upside down "Topkapi" riff that left the conniving to the good guys. For creator Bruce Geller, expertise was the point. Characters and plots were left blank and blurry, forcing viewers to join the Impossible Missions Force or be left in the high-tech dust. Fun only got in the way; Geller famously scolded star Peter Graves for smiling at the end of an episode. In 1996, director Brian De Palma reinvented the series as a star vehicle for Tom Cruise, and it's nothing but fun. The second film even includes a joke about how its star can't stop smiling. The fuse burns brighter than ever and expertise remains the native tongue, but "Mission: Impossible" has carved a new legacy in theaters -- mainly, its reputation for showing off knuckle-whitening, insurance-defying stunts, often performed by Cruise himself. Factoring in franchise importance and danger inherent, the following 14 examples are the best
