20th Century and Shawn Levy‘s 21 Laps are revisiting Night at the Museum.
The original franchise starred Ben Stiller as the overnight security guard at the Natural History Museum where, thanks to an ancient Egyptian curse, the exhibits come alive at night. Rami Malek, Robin Williams and Owen Wilson were among the actors who played re-animated exhibits.
Tripper Clancy (Die Hart, Stuber) has been tasked to write the new take. Plot details for the reimaging are currently under wraps.
The original film came out in 2006 and was followed by Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009) and Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb (2014). All three films, which grossed over $540 million at the domestic box office, were directed by Levy.
Levy and Dan Levine will produce the new take for 21 Laps, with Emily Morris overseeing the project. 21 Laps, which will soon release the final season of Stranger Things, is repped by WME.
Deadline broke the news.
