Here we have the first poster for the Ben Stiller family comedy sequel Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian. Not much exciting work here, just a traditional cast line-up slapped on the familiar door archway background from the first Night at the Museum poster art. You can see new cast members like Bill Hader and Hank Azaria, as well as old favorites like Owen Wilson and Steve Coogan. As we've commented before, the film blogger buzz about this film is lackluster, but from the trailer we posted, I'm personally looking forward to this as much as I can to a family comedy. The first one was enjoyable, and the additional cast has only heightened its potential for my enjoyment.

'Night at the Museum 2' Trailer Premiere

5:04 PM / Posted by Bradford Oman / comments (2)

For some reason there seems to be a bit of backlash at the recent release of the trailer for Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian the sequel to the 2006 family blockbuster Night at the Museum starring Ben Stiller. I really don't know what the problem is. Night at the Museum was a great family film with enough laughs for kids and adults. Ricky Gervais had a great bit part as the museum curator and Owen Wilson and Steve Coogan bickering back and forth as the miniatures exhibits was hilarious too. And of course seeing Robin Williams return to a fun comedy was more than welcome (BANGARANG!). Sure this wasn't an absolutely stunning stroke of comedic brilliance, but by no means was it painful to watch.


Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian ups the ante by not only bringing back all the original cast members, but throwing in Hank Azaria as Kah Mun Rah (not the same Rah character from the first), Bill Hader as General Custer, Amy Adams as Amelia Earhart, Christopher Guest as Ivan the Terrible, Eugene Levy as Albert Einstein, and even The Office's Ed Helms and Craig Robinson have a couple bit parts.

So since FirstShowing.net's Alex Billington called this "just plain awful" and /Film's Peter Sciretta refused to even post the trailer on his site, here it is for your own viewing and judgment, the first trailer for Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian.
