NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM 2 Helmed By RENO 911! Director
by Ryan Laster ~ April 13th, 2007. Filed under: Uncategorized.Thomas Lennon, director of RENO 911!: MIAMI, is in talks to direct the sequel to NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM.
This report is coming from the people over at Moviehole.net. Lennon told them this:
“I don’t think anyone ever thought [Night at the Museum] was going to make 560 million! It’s in sort-of ‘mega hit’ territory now, which is nice. Right now, we’re actually in very early preliminary talks [about the sequel].â€
Lennon also said he is planning on a RENO 911! sequel, which he hopes to have it set down in Australia.
“We found we really like it when we’re battling animals and I believe there’s a certain kind of wildlife that Australia has… Kangaroos that will kick you in the face real bad, and so on. We wanna do a scene that involves a Koala bear humping someone’s face! So if we can figure out a way to make a whole film around that, there’s a good chance that could happenâ€.
This is all very good news, in my opinion. I enjoyed RENO 911!: MIAMI, although it wasn’t as good as some of the episodes on TV, it was still highly entertaining.
We will keep you posted on any more updates that come our way.
