Mickey Rooney & Dick Van Dyke Return For 'Museum'

[Tuesday, January 24th, 2006]
Mickey Rooney and Dick Van Dyke are set to make a return by playing villains in 20th Century Fox's family tentpole Night at the Museum, says the Hollywood Reporter.

The feature, helmed by Shawn Levy, will see Rooney and Van Dyke, along with Bill Cobbs, play security guards at the Museum of Natural History on the same detail as Ben Stiller's night watchman.

Stiller's character discovers a magical pharaoh's tablet, but Van Dyke, playing the head of security who has worked at the museum for nearly 50 years, wants the tablet to stay young. Rooney is his colleague who, with Cobbs, helps Van Dyke's character with his nefarious schemes.
