Heh.  They just finished filming the opening scenes of that movie here at our building.  Made it rain and everything, 
and I got to stay the whole night because they had to put lights in some of our period rooms.  Now I have
to go see the movie, just to brag!

No Sean Bean, though - drat the luck.

One of my favorite books is Arturo Perez-Reverte's The Flanders Panel.  The main character
is a painting conservator who stumbles across a possible ancient murder revealed in the painting: 
Who killed the knight?  It's by the same author as the very excellent "The Club Dumas," 
(a great book for people who are interested in old books and old bookbinding and collecting and such)
which was made into the not-so-excellent "The Ninth Gate" with Johnny Depp.

Subject: An upcoming museum movie


From today's Variety, stumbled on this one, called National Treasure
starring Nicholas Cage and Sean Bean. It's supposed release date is Nov 24,
2004

From Yahoo:

Modern treasure hunters, led by an archaeologist, Ben Franklin Gates (Cage),
who is the eighth descendant in a family all searching for the same thing: a
massive war chest treasure reportedly hidden by George Washington, Thomas
Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin as funds for the Revolutionary War, using a
secret code found in the Constitution (and a map that might have been drawn
on the back of the Declaration of Independence) to find its location. (Diane
Kruger plays a museum curator at the Smithsonian who is central to the plot;
Justin Bartha plays Cage's best friend; Sean Bean plays a rich British
adventurer who also wants the treasure)
