Good-hearted dreamer Larry Daley (Ben Stiller), despite being perpetually down on his luck, thinks he’s destined for something big. But even he could never have imagined how “big,” when he accepts what appears to be a menial job as a graveyard-shift night watchman at a museum of natural history. But during Larry’s watch, something extraordinary happens: the museum’s exhibits magically come to life. A fearsome T-Rex insists on a game of fetch (with one of his own skeleton bones); Mayans, Roman Gladiators, and cowboys emerge from their diorama to wage epic battles; and a wax figure of Teddy Roosevelt gives Larry important advice while harboring a crush for an Indian princess. As things spiral wildly out of control, Larry must find a way to control the magic to stop a nefarious plot and save the museum.

January 22, 2010: Night at the Museum 3 is coming, of course:
I had no idea that Reno 911’s short shorts wearing Thomas Lennon co-wrote the first two NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM movies, but I guess you learn something every day. Lennon recently spoke to Access Hollywood being sly about a third installment, but essentially...
October 13, 2009: The MacGruber synopsis:
While I'm not sold on a full length MACGRUBER, a character named Cunth is rather great. The film is being directed and written by Jorma Taccone, who is part of "The Lonely Island" and is 'on a f*cking boat' (or not).
The synopsis that was released made...
May 25, 2009: Review: Night at Museum 2:
Plot: Several years after the events of the first film, former Museum of Natural History security guard, Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) is now a successful entrepreneur. When the museum's exhibits are shipped to the Smithsonian, along with the tablet that...
April 30, 2009: Trailer of Smithsonian:
Yes, pretty much the entire fanboy community is eagerly awaiting the imminent release of the new TRANSFORMER: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN trailer but while you wait, check out the new trailer for the upcoming NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM: BATTLE OF THE SMITHSONIAN...
April 28, 2009: Darth Stiller?:
If you've seen the new TV spot that's been running for NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM: BATTLE OF THE SMITHSONIAN , you've noticed a new character that you might not expect in a NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM movie: Darth Vader. What is he doing in the movie? Strangely being the...
February 2, 2009: Museum 2 Poster:
Ben Stiller, Amy Adams, Ricky Gervais, Owen Wilson, Robin Williams, Jonah Hill, Steve Coogan, Hank Azaria, Bill Hader, Dick Van Dyke, Christopher Guest, Eugene Levy, Ed Helms and Craig Robinson. Wow. If you didn't want to see NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM: THE BATTLE OF...
December 19, 2008: Trailer at the Museum:
For reasons only clear to a few possibly baked executives at Fox, the first trailer for the Ben Stiller starring sequel NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM: BATTLE OF THE SMITHSONIAN premiered on a McDonald's related website (happy meal toy tie-ins, perhaps?) but...
November 20, 2008: 1st Museum 2 pics:
I've gone on the record as saying NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM was as unfunny a comedy I've ever seen. Yet I look at the upcoming sequel - NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM 2: ESCAPE FROM THE SMITHSONIAN - and I can't help but be intrigued. Perhaps it's because they've somehow...
August 20, 2008: Amy as Amelia:
The cool peeps over at "The Bad and Ugly Hollywood" have gotten a few shots from the set of NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM 2 , which has apparently been re-subtitled BATTLE OF THE SMITHSONIAN (from the equally lame ESCAPE FROM THE SMITHSONIAN), featuring Ben Stiller...
May 9, 2008: Gervais still blogging:
A couple months ago, we told you about Ricky Gervais blogging his adventures from the set of his upcoming comedy THIS SIDE OF THE TRUTH over at his official site . The blog was a tad bit sparse at the time but, even though he's likely on a pretty hectic...
February 28, 2008: Gervais loves Merchant:
Hilariously subversive British cuddly bear Ricky Gervais will once again be re-teaming with hetero life mate Stephen Merchant. Writing-wise, that is. "The Office" and "Extras" collaborators are currently working on a feature film titled THE MEN AT THE PRU....
December 12, 2007: Reese off to Museum?:
NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM was quite possibly one of the worst movies of 2006 and easily the biggest waste of talent. Who would've thought that a movie with Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Ricky Gervais and Carla Gugino would be so terrible?? Yet it made an insane amount of...
May 31, 2007: Heartbreak trailer:
The first trailer for the Farrelly Bros.' re-teaming with Ben Stiller, THE HEARTBREAK KID, has landed on the interwebs. More specifically, it's made its way to Yahoo Movies with wacky, hijinks-based hilarity in tow. In it, Stiller plays a guy who realizes while...
February 19, 2007: Directors all around:
Production Weekly recently dropped the scoop on three new developments in the directorial world so hang on to your sacs while I hit you with some knowledge. Firstly, Michael Keaton, whose cinematic output in recent years has been dubious at best, will star in...
January 15, 2007: Stiller's Thunder:
Ben Stiller, it seems, is ready to get back into the feature film directorial fold. TROPIC THUNDER, a high concept comedy he's been developing since he was a 20-year old punk thinking himself to be a big-time Hollywood hotshot having landed a role in Steven...
December 12, 2006: Zoolander 2 maybe:
For some reason, there's been somewhat of a ruckus on the internets over a line at the tail-end of this USA Today article regarding Ben Stiller's upcoming comedy
NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM in which the possibility of him making a sequel to
ZOOLANDER is...
November 22, 2006: Miscast past contest:
Here's the deal: For a chance to win 2500 in cash money, all you have to do is make the most anachronistic, god-awful faux-audition tape for the Ben Stiller-starring
comedy A NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM then go to the film's MySpace page over HERE , enter it...
November 17, 2006: Museum int'l trailer:
A nice, meaty international trailer for the Ben Stiller-starring comedy NIGHT AT
THE MUSEUM recently scurried its way onto the information superhighway and, truth be told, it ain't half bad. As you may recall, in it, Ben Stiller stars as a lowly...
October 23, 2006: Museum/Eragon pics:
Russian webmaster extraordinaire Dennis of "Filmz.ru" recently alerted us to a bunch of new pics he's posted for the Ben Stiller-starring comedy NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM and the fantasy adventure ERAGON . In the former, Stiller stars as a security guard...
August 2, 2006: Wilson & Wes reunite:
Owen Wilson will once again be teaming up with long-time collaborator Wes Anderson on the dramedy THE DARJEELING LIMITED. With Anderson directing and from a
script by Roman Coppola and Jason Schwartzman, Wilson will star as one of three brothers who go on...
July 19, 2006: Fly by Night posters:
Below you'll see a couple of new posters for NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM and FLYBOYS, neither of which are much to crow about. I don't know what's up with the MUSEUM poster, but there's been no previous insinuation in the movie's marketing that Ben Stiller's museum...
July 10, 2006: Museum trailer:
Okay, so that thing on the NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM billboard is , as many of you have suggested, a skeletal dinosaur tail. At least that's what the movie's international trailer, which features a thirsty set of T-Rex bones, would have you believe. If you weren't...
May 9, 2006: Nativity script rev.:
Stax from over at IGN recently posted his thoughts on the script for the upcoming drama NATIVITY. Coming from FINDING FORRESTER and THE ROOKIE writer Mike
Rich, the film tells the story of a young Mary of Nazareth who's shocked to learn that she's been...
April 20, 2006: Wilson visits Museum:
Director Shawn Levy already has some mega-talent in his upcoming comedy NIGHT
AT THE MUSEUM in the form of Ben Stiller, Robin Williams, Carla Gugino, Dick Van Dyke, Mickey Rooney, Kim Raver, Ricky Gervais, Paul Rudd, and Steve
Coogan. However, no...
