In 2010, the Santa Fe art dealer and author Fenn claimed he hid a chest full of gold and jewels, said to be worth $2 million, somewhere in the Rocky Mountains. Ever since, thousands of people have set out in search of it, guided by a poem Fenn says he wrote containing cryptic clues.

"The treasure's not hidden in a dangerous place, and I've said many times: 'Don't look for the treasure any place an 80-year-old man couldn't put… a 42-pound box,'" Fenn told KOB in 2017.

Despite Fenn's warning, at least four people have died searching for the treasure, including the 54-year-old Randy Bilyeu from Colorado.

Last year, New Mexico State Police Chief Pete Kassetas even called for Fenn to call off the treasure hunt.

As far as Fenn's involvement in the production, he told KOB that no Hollywood producers have contacted him.
