About.com - Is National Treasure like The Da Vinci Code?
Posted by christopher under: Uncategorized .
National Treasure is similar to The Da Vinci Code in that it’s about decoding clues on historical artifacts to lead the hero to the ultimate treasure. But the filmmakers downplay the connection, and in fact, the movie was in development long before The Da Vinci Code was published…
…Producer Jerry Bruckheimer added, “I haven’t read The Da Vinci Code, but my guess is that [comparison] is a good thing, because it’s a best selling book, and you know, we’ve been working on this thing for 8 years. We’re thrilled it became such a huge success, and hopefully people who read that will come see this. I mean, they’re totally different. My understanding is it’s about the Vatican and the Church and everything else, and this is more about American history.”
