After 2006's Night at the Museum pulled in nearly $575 million worldwide, director Shawn Levy wanted the inevitable sequel to step up the action. He's more than pleased with the result of the sequel: "This movie has one of the best comedic casts ever assembled, the visual effects are mind-blowing, and the story is more emotional," he told USA Today.
Once again, museum exhibits come to life, but this time at the Smithsonian in Washington, where filming included scenes shot at the National Air and Space Museum. The DC setting also filmed at the Lincoln Memorial — where Honest Abe will come to "life."
So will General Custer, Albert Einstein and a giant squid that befuddles Ben Stiller's Larry Daley as he searches for his pal museum pieces Octavius and Jedediah, who have been shipped there.
Stiller says returning for the sequel was a no-brainer. "I really had such a good time, and I liked this script — it's better than the first film. It's not just the comedy. It's the fantasy element."
Also returning: Robin Williams, Dick Van Dyke, Owen Wilson and Ricky Gervais. Newcomers include Christopher Guest, Hank Azaria, Eugene Levy, Saturday Night Live's Bill Hader and Enchanted's Amy Adams.
Levy has high hopes for "Museum 2," but he stops short of the word "franchise." "There are rumblings of another installment," he says. "We would love to take this premise (further). But even to say there's a likely third film is premature."
