Oscar-winning British actress Helen Mirren is to play Nicolas Cage's mum
in the sequel to his 2004 box office hit "National Treasure," the
industry press said Thursday.
Mirren, fresh from scooping the best actress award at this year's Oscars
for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II in "The Queen", will take the
role of the mother of Benjamin Gates, played by Cage.
The new romp entitled "National Treasure: Book of Secrets" has Gates
seeking to unlock the truth behind the 1865 assassination of US president
Abraham Lincoln, Variety magazine said.
Other stars signed up for the Disney family flick include Ed Harris, Jon
Voight and Harvey Keitel.
"National Treasure," which came out in 2004, was one of the top 10 films
of the year at the US box office, raking in some 173 million dollars, and
picking up a similar amount abroad.
