The National Treasure: Book of Secrets trailer which Disney premiered at Comic-Con 2007 is now available online. As we previously reported, the new trailer reveals a lot more about the plot of the film:
A missing page from John Wilkes Booth’s diary reveals that treasure hunter Benjamin Franklin Gates (Nicolas Cage)’s great grandfather might have actually been the one responsible for Lincoln’s assassination. Gates begins a mission to clear his family’s name. To do that he must kidnap the president of the United States to get access to a secret book that is for the president’s eyes only. The book also has the truth about Area 51 and the missing minutes in the Watergate tapes.
I really enjoyed the first film, but a plot that involves kidnapping the President of the United States seems way too ridiculous. Check out the trailer after the jump.
You can also watch the trailer in High Definition on Apple.com. National Treasure: Book of Secrets hits theaters on December 21st 2007.

Doesn’t look that bad, but Nick does look a bit off, his hairlooks
strange and he looks pulled back.

Are you guys kidding me? I found the first one to be a pleasant surprise, but I don’t know how you couldn’t say this one’s plot sounds much cooler. I love both the Booth Diary angle and the president’s book angle.
