Disney has added another name to the already star-studded cast list of the
National Treasure sequel. Alicia Coppola, who is known for her role on the highly-acclaimed CBS drama series,
Jericho, will be appearing in
National Treasure: Book of Secrets as Agent Dawes.
The film is under the direction and production of Jon Turteltaub, who also serves as one of
Jericho’s executive producers. In the first installment, the protagonist, Benjamin Franklin Gates (portrayed by Academy Award winner Nicolas Cage), embarked on a search for hidden treasure using a map ingeniously printed on the back of the Declaration of Independence. For the sequel, Turteltaub told the LA Daily News last year that the characters would reach “exciting destinations within America as well as around the world. As we were shooting the first one, it kept changing, so I'm scared to commit to anything, but I wouldn't be surprised if Mount Rushmore made an appearance.”
