IMDb >> Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009)

Museum 2, Heat Scoop

Ben Stiller, who reprises his role as security guard Larry Daley in Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian, told SCI FI Wire that his process is simpler than his co-stars may perceive. Craig Robinson previously told SCI FI Wire that Stiller jogged in place to get ready for takes.

"It just depends on the scene," Stiller said in a group interview in Beverly Hills, Calif., on Oct. 25 while promoting Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa. "It was probably a scene where I had to come running from somewhere. I'm not good at faking being out of breath for something like that."

The sequel takes place in Washington's Smithsonian Institution, where the exhibits come to life while Daley works the graveyard shift. Stiller, who is used to improvising with his fellow comedians, found it a challenge to act amid the movie's many visual effects.

"It's weird," Stiller said. "I think it's hard to find the comedy within that one. There are all the technical elements going on. I just find it exhausting. It's harder, because you have to really create much more energy on your own. I think it's much easier when you have real stimuli to react to. It's a strange combination of things, of elements that are there and aren't there."

Stiller found it most difficult to work on a green-screen stage. "The green-screen stuff is the hardest, I find, just because there's nothing there. I find that really hard, because you really actually are acting on camera, but there's nothing to react to, even like a set."

Meanwhile, Stiller said that he is still working on a feature-film version of Heat Vision and Jack, based on a TV pilot he directed. "We've got a draft, and we've been working on the script and continue to work on it. I think it'd be great to do."

The unaired satifical show--a lampoon of buddy-copy shows that starred Jack Black and Owen Wilson--has been seen on Youtube.com enough to warrant consideration as a movie.

"It was a pilot that I did with Jack," Stiller said. "That's actually how I met my wife [Christine Taylor] 10 years ago. Jack played an astronaut from NASA who flew too close to the sun, so whenever the sun comes up, he's the smartest guy in the world, and when it goes down, he's back to normal. His best friend gets turned into a motorcycle by an evil Ron Silver, who runs NASA secretly. Owen Wilson was the voice of the motorcycle, who was sort of like his Knight Rider buddy."

With typical self-deprecation, Stiller joked: "I can't believe they didn't pick it up." Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian opens May 22, 2009. --Fred Topel

First Showing - New Batch of Photos from Ben Stiller's Night at the Museum 2

November 20, 2008
Source: USA Today

USA Today has our first look at a new batch of photos from the film, most of which include Stiller and/or one of the many comedic faces that appear in the sequel. They're expanding the fantastical universe from the Museum of Natural History in the first movie to the Smithsonian this time - and that means so many more historical characters will be coming to life.

ABOUT NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM: BATTLE OF THE SMITHSONIAN

It's a new "Night" and "Museum" for Ben Stiller, who is joined by several other stars from the original film, as well as new characters from history -- including Amy Adams as famed aviatrix Amelia Earhart, Hank Azaria as villainous Egyptian pharaoh Ka Mun Rah, Christopher Guest as Russian tyrant Ivan the Terrible and Alain Chabat as Napoleon. Owen Wilson is back as cowboy Jedediah, and Robin Williams again rides into history as Teddy Roosevelt. The centerpiece of the film will be bringing to life the Smithsonian Institution, which houses the world’s largest museum complex with more than 136 million items in its collections. No major film has ever shot inside the Smithsonian in Washington…until NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM: BATTLE OF THE SMITHSONIAN. Shawn Levy, who helmed the first film, is directing.

Trodde väl aldrig att jag skulle vara tvungen att surfa iväg till en av McDonald's sidor för att få se en trailer.

Kom på att det släppts två posters för filmen lite tidigare. Den amerikanska samt en fransk version.

Har fortfarande inte sett första filmen, men jag får väl se till att göra det innan jag ser den här iaf.

Natt på museet 2 / Night at the Museum 2 (2009)
Den här filmen börjar med tidernas "precis som väntat"-scen. Kunde de inte komma på något bättre? Konceptet känns lika unikt som i förra filmen, och vore det inte för att Amy Adams alltid är lika charmig så skulle nog den här filmen falla som den upprepning det är. Det blir lite enerverande där på mitten när det känns som om "kändisar" kastas in i scener bara för att Larry skall få träffa dem, och slutet är ingen vit älg här heller. Men ler och fnissar lite gör man precis som i första filmen, kanske till och med i samma utsträckning. Men gillade man ettan så gillar man med all säkerhet tvåan, som sedd som film (och inte en uppföljare) är ett hårstrå eller två vassare än första filmen. -- OK.
