Mickey Rooney and Dick Van Dyke are making their return to movies with Night At The Museum.
The pair will play scheming villains in the story about Ben Stiller’s security guard discovering a magical pharaoh’s stone tablet. Van Dyke, playing the museum’s ageing head of security, wants to harness the tablet’s powers to stay young; Rooney will play his henchman. Stiller’s bumbling hero ends up using the tablet and re-animating the museum’s exhibits.
