“What if I told you everything you know about your Dad is a lie?” Disney has revealed a full official trailer for National Treasure: Edge of History – a new series continuing the two beloved National Treasure movies of 2004 & 2007. I’m big fans of both – which had Nicolas Cage as treasure hunter Benjamin Gates, who isn’t back for this one. The 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 cast including Lyndon Smith, Zuri Reed, Jake Austin Walker, Antonio Cipriano, Jordan Rodrigues as Ethan, plus Justin Bartha & Harvey Keitel from the films. Catherine Zeta-Jones also stars as the villain, a badass billionaire, black-market antiquities expert. This still looks like a huge step down from the original movies, unfortunately, almost like it’s a game show not a seriously entertaining adventure thriller. Oh well.
Here’s the main trailer for Disney+’s series National Treasure: Edge of History, from YouTube:
