Just to make sure you know exactly how many people have crowded into the starry cast of Night At The Museum: Secret Of The Tomb, the poster includes as many of them as possible.
Ben Stiller returns as Larry Daley, one of the few people that know the secret held within New York’s American Museum Of Natural History: there is a stone tablet from the time of the Pharaohs that brings all the exhibits to life and has caused him no end of trouble. But in his capacity as watchman of the building, he’s grown to be friends with many of the historical figures and other displays that magically start to move and speak at night, so when they discover the tablet is corroding, the quest is on to stop them all reverting to wax figures, stone statues and rigged collections of bones.
Larry and some of the gang including Pharaoh Ahkmenrah (Rami Malek), Teddy Roosevelt (Robin Williams), Attila the Hun (Patrick Gallagher), Sacagawea (Mizuo Peck), Roman centurion Octavius (Steve Coogan) and Jedediah (Owen Wilson) travel to London’s British Museum to find out a fix for their tablet. There, they’ll encounter the object’s creator, Ahkmenrah’s father (Ben Kingsley), Dan Stevens as Sir Lancelot and Rebel Wilson as a security guard at the museum who is surprised when her charges start coming to life – and spilling out on to the streets of the capital.
While this final outing for the Museum crew is tinged with sadness after Williams’ passing, it appears set to deliver what we’ve come to expect from Shawn Levy’s family friendly franchise. The film is out on December 19.
