Diane and Nic Bring Their National Treasure to NYC
The stars of National Treasure: Book of Secrets were all out in NYC last night to show off their anticipated sequel.

He is such a cutie.
Diane & Nic Hunt For More Treasure
Nicolas Cage and Diane Kruger have teamed up once again to shoot National Treasure: Book of Secrets in London. Diane looks pretty adorable in these pics even though we'd rather see her on the arm of cute Josh. The original NT was surprisingly entertaining and since sequels seem to be all the rage these days it makes sense that the studio would bet on another treasure hunt with this cast.

Box Office: National Treasure Still Gold, Juno Keeps Climbing
For the third weekend in a row, National Treasure: Book of Secrets led the way at the box office, bringing in a respectable $20.2 million.

More often than not movies experience a decline at the box office after the initial buzz dies down, but not little Juno.
