National Treasure Show Image: First Look At Returning Movie Character
A new image from National Treasure: Edge of History reveals that Harvey Keitel will be reprising his movie role in the new series. Edge of History is an upcoming Disney+ live-action show that will take place in the world of 2004's National Treasure and 2007's National Treasure: Book of Secrets, which followed the history-based adventures of cryptographer and treasure hunter Benjamin Franklin Gates (Nicolas Cage). There were initially plans to make a third film in the late 2000s, but those never came to fruition. Now, the Disney+ series has stepped up to take its place over a decade after the last film was released, following a new set of explorers ready for their own National Treasure adventure.
The franchise newcomers that will be bringing Edge of History to life include Lisette Alexis, Lyndon Smith, Zuri Reed, Jake Austin Walker, Antonio Cipriano, Jordan Rodrigues, and Oscar-winning Chicago actress Catherine Zeta-Jones. Alexis plays Jess, an FBI cryptoanalyst who finds herself drawn into a race to expose a long-hidden truth and recover a North American artifact thought to have been lost forever. This plot is certainly in keeping with the stories in the original National Treasure films, the first of which involved a secret message written on the Declaration of Independence. However, the biggest connection to the original films is so far the return of Justin Bartha as Gates' loyal sidekick Riley Poole.
