A “Night at the Museum” reboot, featuring a new plot and characters, is in the works.
The reimagining is being overseen by 20th Century Studios with Tripper Clancy writing the script, Deadline reported.
The film will be produced by Shawn Levy and Dan Levine from 21 Laps. Meanwhile, Emily Morris will oversee the project for the company, according to the outlet.
While details on the plot are under wraps, the movie is said to feature a new cast of characters and storyline.
“Night at the Museum” was one of the biggest films of 2006 and kicked off one of the most successful family film franchises of the 21st century.
The movie starred Ben Stiller as a man who takes a job as an overnight security guard at a museum only to learn the exhibits come to life during his shift because of an ancient curse. It also featured Robin Williams, Owen Wilson, Dick Van Dyke, Ricky Gervais and Rami Malek.
It resulted in two sequels, “Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian” (2009) and “Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb” (2014) both of which did well at the box office. Levy has produced each installment.
There also was a fourth film, “Night at the Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again,” which was an animated feature. Overall, the franchise has grossed $1.3 billion worldwide.
