National Treasure

[ZeldasTriforce@aol.com]

Maybe I'm not looking at this from the right perspective, but it's probably 
doubtful that any of the writer(s) of National Treasure had read a Don Rosa 
story and derived inspiration/plagarised, etc. When I saw the film, I didn't 
think "They lifted Don's plots!!" The plot didn't seem any different from other 
conspiracy theories people come up with, just maybe a theory with a bit more 
imagination and coincidence. It's not like Don invented the genre (what the genre 
is, I'm not sure. Consipracy plots, ancient history coming into play in 
modern life in weird ways genre, whatever you want to call those types of stories). 


So if there are any similiarites, it can probably be chalked up to writers 
simply writing types of stories that are in a certain vein, therefore making it 
look like one was inspired by the earlier story. So I don't think there's any 
connection as far as Don's stories and the movie are concerned.
