20th Century Studios ha vuelto a encender las luces del museo. Según adelanta Deadline, el estudio ya se encuentra inmerso en una nueva versión de Noche en el museo, que contará con la producción de Shawn Levy (Deadpool y Lobezno), responsable detrás de las cámaras de la trilogía original.

El guion de esta reimaginación llevará la firma de Tripper Clancy (I Am Not Okay With This) y, aunque el argumento se mantiene bajo llave, lo que sí se ha confirmado es que será una historia ambientada, por supuesto, en el museo titular, pero con personajes totalmente diferentes.

It's never too late for any franchise to make a comeback. Time has proven on many occasions that some properties are beloved enough that fans will welcome their return, and 20th Century Studios is hoping that will be the case with Night at the Museum, a family franchise that once brought in big box office for the studio during its heyday. It looks like another adventure is in the works, but it appears to be taking a retooled spin rather than being a mere sequel.

Story details are scarce, but it looks like the film will explore new characters at the museum, involved in a brand-new story.

Original Night at the Museum star Jacob Cherry opens up about his heartwarming experiences on the movie set.

Speaking to People, Cherry, who portrayed Nick Daley, the son of Ben Stiller's Larry, sang high praises of his Night at the Museum co-star. "[Ben] was really, the best way to put it is, just a normal guy," Cherry said. "One of my core memories – he showed me a Tenacious D music video, and he has a cameo in it. And he was so hyped that he was in this cameo… so just stuff like that. I got to see him as just like a normal person. There was no mask or anything like that."

Based on Milan Trenc's 1993 children's book, Night at the Museum premiered in 2006 and quickly established itself as a fan-favorite, family-friendly comedy. The film starred Stiller as Larry Daley, a night-shift security guard at the American Museum...

Night at the Museum writer and star Thomas Lennon hints that the franchise can continue. Starting in 2006, the Night at the Museum film series has always been a fun time for audiences. Starring Ben Stiller, the film centers on Larry Daley, a divorced father who answers a job offering to be a night watchman at the Museum of Natural History. He quickly discovers that the exhibits come to life due to an ancient tablet and throw Larry into an adventure of a lifetime. After three live-action films, an animated sequel titled Night at the Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again was produced for Disney+, though most of the characters were recast.

With the animated sequel now on Disney+, audiences were left wondering if the Night at the Museum films would continue in this format. Lennon, who had originally co-written the first two films and provided the voice of Teddy Roosevelt in the new one,...

Few expected that Shawn Levy would strike franchise gold in 2006 when the first "Night at the Museum" was released, but the film based on the 1993 children's book of the same name by Croatian illustrator Milan Trenc has since spawned two sequels, inspired a never-made theme park ride, and even got the Lego treatment in 2020. The original film centered on Larry Daley (Ben Stiller), a divorced father who finds a job at the American Museum of Natural History as a night guard. What appears to be an easy job of keeping an eye on a bunch of fossils and artifacts turns into the adventure of a lifetime after he discovers an ancient spell has caused the exhibits of the museum to come to life. 

After the Fox-Disney merger, at-the-time CEO Bob Iger announced a new "Night at the Museum" animated feature, and now we're finally going to see the final product.

The first look at Disney’s animated feature Night at the Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again has been released. The image sees our protagonist Nick, in the familiar ambiance of the Museum of Natural History, standing in front of the skeleton of a huge dinosaur. He seems quite curiou,s just like his father. The feature is being made by Shawn Levy’s production company 21 Laps and is helmed by director Matt Danner, based partially on the famous children’s book by Milan Trenc which has been adapted by Ray DeLaurentis, and William Schifrin.

As far as hooky family movie conceits go, the "Night at the Museum" franchise is centered around a pretty adorable one (one that, it should be noted, is based on a 32-page children's book of the same name by Milan Trenc): thanks to an enchanted tablet, every night after dark, the exhibits at the American Museum of Natural History come to life. A night watchman, played by Ben Stiller, finds out the secret and has to keep all of the museum's inhabitants inside the museum. For a single movie, even under the artless direction of Shawn Levy, the idea played well, especially with a supporting cast stocked with comedic heavyweights like Robin Williams, Owen Wilson, Steve Coogan, Ricky Gervais and Dick Van Dyke. With the original film, there was enough genuine whimsy to sustain, but now, with the third film, "Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb," even...

Los Angeles, Oct 20: Actor and stand-up comedian Robin Williams will reportedly reunite with actor Ben Stiller in the third instalment of adventure-comedy film "Night at the Museum".

The 62-year-old played Teddy Roosevelt in the two previous movies and has been approached to reprise the same in the upcoming "Night at the Museum 3", reports aceshowbiz.com.

Shawn Levy, who directed the first "Night at the Museum" in 2006 and the 2009 follow-up "Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian", will direct the third movie as well.

Based on the 1993 children's book of the same name by Milan Trenc, the movie revolves.

Milan Trenc's whimsically illustrated The Night at the Museum, about a New York Natural History Museum night guard who discovers the displays have a habit of doing the Jumanji thing once visitors go home, has been turned into a big, loud movie (minus the "The") starring Ben Stiller.

It's definitely a cute, workable premise, but as mishandled by director Shawn Levy (the Pink Panther and Cheaper by the Dozen remakes) and the writing team of Robert Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon (Reno: 911!), the inspiration that was required to make Museum fly is seldom on exhibit in this interminably monotonous production.

As Stiller runs around an awful lot attempting to riff his way to something funnier, the rest of the able cast, including Robin Williams, Ricky Gervais, Dick Van Dyke and Mickey Rooney, see their talents go sadly underutilized, playing second fiddle to all the busy visual effects.

Given its holiday placement and its family-friendly premise, the 20th Century Fox release will probably still shake enough bones at the boxoffice to keep Levy's streak intact, though the overall result unlikely will go down in any kind of history.

On a positive note, maybe it might have the pleasant side effect of boosting museum attendance.

The problematic pace feels off from the start, as Stiller's Larry Daley, a failed inventor of a divorced dad, competes with his wife's (Kim Raver) financial whiz fiance (Paul Rudd) for the affections of his son, Nick (Jake Cherry).

Seeking the help of an employment counselor (played by Stiller's mom, Anne Meara), he takes a menial job as a graveyard shift security guard at the Natural History Museum, but judging from the odd behavior of the trio of veteran daytime guards (Van Dyke, Rooney and Bill Cobbs), his first night on the job will prove to be anything but uneventful.

Larry's first clue is when the giant Tyrannosaurus rex suddenly goes missing, only to reappear, eager to play a game of fetch with one of its bones. By the time Larry catches on, the marble corridors are filled with marauding Huns (looking like they just stepped out of a Capital One commercial), mischievous capuchin monkeys, charging wildlife and out-of-control, unmistakably lifelike dioramas.

With the help of trusty Teddy Roosevelt (a subdued Robin Williams), Larry not only manages to restore order, but also his crumbling relationship with his son.

This is the kind of vehicle that would have been a natural for someone like Museum producer Chris Columbus, having directed Home Alone and Harry Potter installments and demonstrating an equal comfort level with both extensive comedy and intensive special effects.

But director Levy struggles to find a uniform pitch that would agreeably blend together the gags, the visual effects and the obligatory heart moments. In its absence, there's a stop-and-start hollowness that confuses noise and chaos for comic energy.

While Gervais has some amusing moments as Stiller's tongue-tied boss, the rest of the cast, also including Steve Coogan and an uncredited Owen Wilson, are never given the chance to really strut their humorous stuff.

Behind-the-scenes, production designer Claude Pare (The Aviator) does a nice job filling those larger-than-life spaces, while costume designer Renee April has her sewing machine going full tilt with all that period wardrobe and Alan Silvestri goes back to his Back to the Future cues for his hyperactively dense score.
