Ricky Gervais is just the latest addition to the sprawling cast of Ben Stiller’s Night At The Museum.
Paying Stiller back for his appearance on Extras, Gervais will fill a small role as an uptight museum director in the film which sees Stiller’s night watchman unleash an ancient curse.
Already hired are Robin Williams, Carla Gugino, Kim Raver, Mickey Rooney, Dick Van Dyke and Bill Cobbs. |

| America's Most Wanted | Americas most wanted man, Ricky Gervais, was seen last night at New York’s Natural history museum. He is believed to be impersonating a Museum Director, and should be considered hairy and dryly funny. Wanted by Tom Cruise for rejecting a hotly sort after role in the upcoming M:i3, Ricky Gervais has been dashing from offer to offer accepting only the smallest cameo roles. He has also been spotted hiding behind a keyboard, a typewriter and other such writing equipment. If you should see him More

So hopefully this means by choosing to work with Gervais on this project he has parted ways on the proposed plans he had with another of our comedy monkeys namely Mr Steve Coogan on a big screen adaptation of the classic cult 1970's TV series
The Persuaders that peeps like myself love lots and watch still?
I'm all for a great pair of actors bringing the partnership of Danny Wilde and Brett Sinclair back into the limelight of the cinema as l More
Posted by wizardwolf at 18:01 on 03 February 2006 | Report This Post | | | | | I would welcome the appearance of Ricky Gervais in anything (This man's talent would even go so far as making a Michael Bay movie tolerable in my book!).. His variety and curious brands of awkward, almost "anti-humour" never fail to impress me, and would only prove to strengthen any work from the very funny (yet rather one dimensional) Stiller. More

Posted by Tits McGee at 15:25 on 01 February 2006 | Report This Post | | | | | meh | im not a big Gevais fan. he may be a perfectly nice man, but his standup is more David Brent-like than he knows. your not that funny Ricky. Sorry man. but another Stiller movie? just sounds like more Dodgeball style easy jokes and mild amusement. nothing wrong with that More
Posted by Rock Lobster! at 14:34 on 01 February 2006 | Report This Post | | | | | The cast is eclectic and promising, although I thought "Extras" was hideously unfunny and unwatchable and, unlike most of the known world, I don't worship at Gervaise's feet (I only thought "The Office" was patchily funny, aside from the wonderful Christmas Special). It's about time we had another really funny Robin Williams role though, and Ben Stiller is funny. Unsure about this, but will remain cautiously optimistic. More

To me it sounds like an all out kids movie...lets just hope its a kids movie in the same sense as Toy Story - i.e. just as good for adults. With this cast, I pray the opportunity is not wasted. Just need to get gervais writing some comedy films now...can't wait to see the simpsons episode. More
