Nicolas Cage is reteaming already with his National Treasure director Jon Turteltaub for this summer's incoming The Sorcerer's Apprentice movie. Yet, the two are likely to be reunited again before the year is out for their fourth film together, National Treasure 3.

Talking to ComingSoon about the project, Turteltaub has revealed that "I think we start shooting late fall, early winter. Hopefully that's the goal and I think it will come out Christmas 2011. That's assuming everyone is available, the script is good and I haven't thrown a tantrum." He played down potential clashes with another Cage project that may start running soon, Ghost Rider 2, insisting that "he'll make both".
