Nathan Drake and Lara Croft could be Hollywood’s go-to treasure hunters until someone else comes along because, according to Nicolas Cage, a National Treasure 3 is not happening. Cage played treasure hunter Benjamin Franklin Gates in Disney’s 2004 action-adventure romp, with National Treasure: Book of Secrets mapping a path to theaters in 2007.

Speaking with ScreenRant, Cage said, “No, there is no National Treasure 3. If you want to find treasure, don’t look at Disney, okay? It’s not there.”

Cage’s verbal mousetrap is quite telling of the actor’s tolerance for how Disney conducts its business. Cage’s comment may refer to how Disney fumbled the bag with its sequel series National Treasure: Edge of History. The adventure series starring Lisette Olivera, Zuri Reed, Jake Austin Walker, Antonio Cipriano, and Catherine Zeta-Jones was canceled after one season despite having ties to the Cage-led feature films.

There’s also a chance that Cage is no longer interested in playing Benjamin Franklin Gates in National Treasure 3 since he could retire any day now. Last year, Cage told Vanity Fair his acting career is “starting to solidify – I’m starting to cement my plan. I may have three or four more movies left in me.I do feel I’ve said what I’ve had to say with cinema. I think I took film performance as far as I could.”

Cage says he “wants to go out on a high note,” and spending time with his 18-month-old daughter is a priority. He also has concerns regarding how long he’ll be around. Cage’s father passed away at 75, and Cage is 60. He figures he’s got 15 good years left before things take a turn and wants to take time to bask in his accomplishments and legacy. In addition to spending time with his daughter, he wants to read a book a week, which sounds like a damn fine way to spend your Golden Years.

What do you think about Cage shooting down hopes for a National Treasure 3? If he’s soon to retire, what type of movies would you like to see him make? Will Cage pull a Hayao Miyazaki and repeatedly come out of retirement for the right project? Let us know what you think in the comments section below.

After spending more than a decade in development hell, a remake of The Crow (watch it HERE) has made its way through production and is set to receive a theatrical release, courtesy of Lionsgate, on June 7th. A couple weeks ago, we saw the first images of Bill Skarsgard and singer FKA twigs as the new versions of goth rocker Eric Draven and the love of his life, Shelly; images that didn’t go over well with original The Crow director Alex Proyas. Now we’ve been informed that a full trailer for the film will be released online tomorrow – and while we wait for that, a (very) short teaser has made its way online and can be seen in the embed above. In this teaser, we’re treated to the sight of Skarsgard writhing around in a thick liquid that’s presumably meant to be blood. And that’s it.

The film has the following synopsis: Soulmates Eric Draven (Skarsgard) and Shelly Webster (FKA twigs) are brutally murdered when the demons of her dark past catch up with them. Given the chance to save his true love by sacrificing himself, Eric sets out to seek merciless revenge on their killers, traversing the worlds of the living and the dead to put the wrong things right.

The role of Eric Draven in the original film was, of course, played by Brandon Lee, who was killed on set in a tragic accident that was caused by a series of mistakes and oversights.

Rupert Sanders (Snow White and the Huntsman) directed this take on The Crow, working from a screenplay by Oscar nominee Zach Baylin (King Richard). The remake is produced by Victor Hadida, Molly Hassell, John Jencks, and Edward R. Pressman. Dan Farah serves as executive producer.

Danny Huston (Yellowstone) plays the lead villain. Isabella Wei (1899), Laura Birn (A Walk Among the Tombstones), Sami Bouajila (The Bouncer), and Jordan Bolger (Peaky Blinders) are also in the cast.

2024 marks the 45th anniversary of the release of the Ridley Scott classic Alien, and the movie is now available to watch on the Peacock streaming service. To mark the occasion, the folks at Syfy Wire caught up with cast member Tom Skerritt, who plays ill-fated space tug captain Dallas to talk to him about his memories of working on the film. During their conversation, Skerritt revealed that he (and co-star Yaphet Kotto) already knew on set that they were making a classic. He said, “It was something that had never been done before and not over-thought as they were doing it. If you have to analyze things, you’re not gonna be successful. You’re right on the edge of something happening that’s gonna come and get you. It’s sort of like Texas Chainsaw Massacre, where you don’t see this awful, horrible person, but you just know he’s there. What is he gonna do? Who is he gonna take? What is going on here? So the audience has that thrill through the whole thing because it was intelligently done and original as could be.“

Skerritt added that there was a lot of laughter on the set of Alien, as “sometimes, scary moments give you more laughter.” He also reminisced about looking at Scott’s impressive storyboards, seeing Xenomorph performer Bolaji Badejo walking around without the alien head on his costume and tennis shoes on his feet, and the deleted scene that showed what happened to his character. Skerritt understood why the moment was cut, because “You don’t get into all of that when you know the [ship] is gonna blow up in a few seconds. You gotta get the hell out of there. And if you suddenly stop [the story cold], it’s just not the way you edit a film.“

Of course, the conversation also covered the unforgettable chestburster scene. Skerritt told Syfy Wire, “I knew we were gonna have a mess with that one, which we did. I was listening to everything that was going on to build this production and, in so doing, had knowledge of what was gonna happen. I didn’t know what it would look or how we would react. And when we reacted, it was real, because I hadn’t seen the dummy that came out. But I knew how they were gonna do that. It was effective. (Veronica Cartwright) almost passed out. When it happened, she just slid down the wall. She actually almost fainted.” The scares were so effective because “(Scott) was giving you the reality all the time.” To read more of the Skerritt interview, click over to the Syfy Wire link.

You probably don’t need a reminder, but just in case, here’s one: Scripted by Dan O’Bannon and Ronald Shusett, Alien follows the crew of the commercial space tug Nostromo, who, after coming across a mysterious derelict spaceship on an uncharted planetoid, find themselves up against a deadly and aggressive extraterrestrial loose in their vessel.

Actress Olivia Munn, who starred in projects like The Newsroom and The Predator, has come forward on her Instagram to announce to her followers and the public that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer and she has taken the necessary steps to seek treatment. Variety reports that the X-Men: Apocalypse star posted on her account, “I hope by sharing this it will help others find comfort, inspiration and support on their own journey.” Munn would admit that she hadn’t initially intended to get a check up for it until her doctor attempted to get ahead of the odds.

Munn explained in her statement, “I wouldn’t have found my cancer for another year – at my next scheduled mammogram – except that my OBGYN, Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi, decided to calculate my Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Score. The fact that she did saved my life. Dr. Aliabadi looked at factors like my age, familial breast cancer history, and the fact that I had my first child after the age of 30. She discovered my lifetime risk was at 37%. Because of that score I was sent to get an MRI, which led to an ultrasound, which then led to a biopsy. The biopsy showed I had Luminal B cancer in both breasts. Luminal B is an aggressive, fast moving cancer.”

She also revealed that she would undergo a double mastectomy 30 days after her biopsy. She shares more from her story, saying, “I went from feeling completely fine one day, to waking up in a hospital bed after a 10-hour surgery the next. I’m lucky. We caught it with enough time that I had options. I want the same for any woman who might have to face this one day. Ask your doctor to calculate your Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Score. Dr. Aliabadi says that If the number is greater than 20%, you need annual mammograms and breast MRIs starting at age 30.”

Munn’s also took the time in her statement to show her appreciation of the support from her friends and family. She stated that she’s “so thankful to my friends and family for loving me through this. I’m so thankful to John [Mulaney] for the nights he spent researching what every operation and medication meant and what side effects and recovery I could expect. For being there before I went into each surgery and being there when I woke up.”
