Originally planned for a summer 2000 release, National Treasure—based on a concept by Disney marketing head Oren Aviv and DreamWorks television executive Charles Segars—had a Byzantine plot that kept it in a prolonged pre-production period. Nine writers were hired between 1999 and 2003 in an attempt to streamline the story, which sees code-breaker ...

Mackinac Island, site of the 1982 romanceSomewhere in Time, has become a perennial tourist spot. The same influence was true ofNational Treasure and its 2007 sequel, both of which apparently contributed to an ...
