Night at the Museum is back for another mayhem-filled outing! 20th Century and Shawn Levy’s 21 Laps are reportedly revisiting the franchise, which originally starred Ben Stiller as the overnight security guard at the Natural History Museum where, thanks to an ancient Egyptian artefact, the exhibits come alive at night.
Tripper Clancy, best known for Stuber, will be writing this new entry. Plot details for the reimagining are currently under mummy wraps, though Deadline reports that “the film is said to be a new story set at the museum with all-new characters.”
The original film was released by 20th Century Fox in 2006 and was followed by 2009’s Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian and Secret of the Tomb in 2014. Rami Malek, Robin Williams and Owen Wilson were among those starring. Following Disney’s acquisition of Fox in 2019, the studio moved to further expand the franchise with Night at the Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again, an animated feature produced by Levy for Disney+, which was released in 2022.
Clancy is also known for having written the Die Hart franchise (not a typo, this is the Kevin Hart-starring series). He also co-created a Varsity Blues reboot for Quibi and has written for Pixar, among others.
