Chris Guest in "Night at the Museum 2"
Christopher Guest has been tapped for Fox’s sequel to Night at the Museum. The Spinal Tap star has joined the cast as Ivan the Terrible for the comedy adventure, officially titled Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian.
As a little side note, I interviewed Michael McKean a while back, and he said he and Guest still get together and play music for fun. That’s pretty cool.
Also on board are Jon Bernthal (Al Capone), Bill Hader (Gen. George Armstrong Custer) and French actor Alain Chabat (Napoleon).
Directed by Shawn Levy, the movie reunites lead Ben Stiller with castmates Robin Williams, Ricky Gervais and Owen Wilson. Robert Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon, who penned both “Museum” films, will make a cameo in the sequel, playing the Wright brothers.
I loved the first movie, and thought Ben Stiller did a great job in a family film. With the Smithsonian front and center, it should be very cool. I’ve heard that the filmmakers even filmed portions of the movie at the actual Smithsonian Institute in Washington.
