National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets
National Treasure 2, starring Nicholas Cage, Jon Voight, Helen Mirren, Justin Bartha and Diane Kruger, comes to DVD and Blu-ray May 20th from Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment. The monument is one of the movie�s many awe-inspiring worldwide backdrops and plays a pivotal role at the exciting conclusion of the hit action movie. Todd Vander Pluym, the world�s foremost sand sculptor, came to Venice Beach to create a giant replica of Mt. Rushmore, the American monument to four early U.S. presidents, (Washington Jefferson, Roosevelt and Lincoln). After 2 days of gathering 400,000 pounds of sand the measurements of this sculpture exceeded 10' tall x 25' wide x 12' deep!
Pluym and his team of professional and master sculptors have crafted more
than 1,600 sculptures and holds nearly 200 sand sculpting titles. Over the
years, Todd�s work has been featured in major newspapers and magazines, such as
the Los Angeles Times, People and the Smithsonian magazine, and on many
television shows, including The Today Show and Good Morning America.
