Night at the Museum
Director: Shawn Levy
Stars: Ben Stiller, Carla Gugino, Ricky Gervais (Full Cast)
Studio: Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation

The Plot: A dim-witted guy (Stiller) gains employment at the Museum of Natural History as the nighttime security guard. Tipped off by a pair of day shift old-timers (Dick Van Dyke, Mickey Rooney), his first night on the job is full of danger and surprises, as the humans and other animals on display come to life, looking for trouble.

THE BUZZ: Star Stiller caused controversy by having production moved to Vancouver from Montreal, where pre-production had already begun on the $100+ project. It would have been the biggest film to ever shoot in the city, and the Québécois are miffed. Rumor has it Stiller wanted to work with a particular special effects company who are located in British Columbia. Director Shawn Levy was an obvious choice for the family picture, but can Stiller connect with kids? Years ago, this project would have had Robin Williams written all over it; no wonder he has a small role. Watch him and the rest of the cast over at AOL.
