Plot
Although there has been speculation as to the ending of National Treasure: Book of Secrets with the question about page 47 of the President's book of secrets being the plot for a third film, Turteltaub responded in a press interview that the idea was not set in stone as the basis for National Treasure 3.

Production

In September 2008, Jerry Bruckheimer officially confirmed that they were in the process of developing a third film. In November 2008, Bruckheimer said that the writers were in the process of writing the script to the film. In March 2009, Jon Voight, who plays Patrick Gates, says that the script was not yet finished, and that he "[hopes] there's good stuff for [him] to play in it, that Helen (Mirren, who plays Emily Appleton) will be back." Disney plans to begin filming in the fall of 2010.
