Movie Tea: Reimagined 'Night At The Museum' In Development; 'Shrek' Trilogy Leaving Netflix Soon
In recent years, Hollywood has essentially created a trend where old franchises will birth a legacy sequel once in about 20 years. Don't believe that's a trend? Well, the 'Night At the Museum' franchise is now hard at work producing its fifth movie, alongside 'Shrek', which is slated to come out in the near future. Say what you will about legacy sequels; this is exciting news for anyone who managed to watch these films when they first debuted back in the early 2000s. If you need a brief refresher or would like to go down memory lane, streaming has you covered – but it's best to act fast, as they won't be there forever. Check out what we mean with the article below. Tripper Clancy To Write 'Night At The Museum 5' It's never too late for a beloved franchise to come back from the dead. Time and time again, despite many people's complaints about reboots and reimaginings, it is still a very lucrative market, with many people willing to watch them, regardless of reasoning. A case in point is the recent 'How to Train Your Dragon' live-action remake, as well as Disney's various attempts at gatekeeping its monopoly on old stories (the good ones, specifically, like 'Jungle Book'). Even legacy sequels such as '28 Years Later,' 'Karate Kid: Legends,' and 'Final Destination: Bloodlines' managed to squeeze their way into a very polarising market. Naturally, with so many films and franchises coming back from the past, and with a proven market for them, other studios are busting out the archives to get a piece of that nostalgia pie. One such example is 20th Century Studios, who are currently working behind the scenes to bring us a new 'Night at the Museum' movie. In Deadline's exclusive report, the studio is currently working on reimagining the popular family film alongside 21 Laps Entertainment, an American production company that had its hand in the original movies. Furthermore, they've also enlisted the talents of one Tripper Clancy to write a script. Unfortunately, he does not have the best track record when it comes to writing, as some of his works have received mixed to negative reviews, with the lowest being 'Hot Dog', which has scored 4.2 out of 10 on IMDb. He is also best known for writing each installment of the 'Die Hart' franchise, which got worse and worse reviews with each installment. It is worth mentioning that he is a frequent collaborator of 21 Laps and has also dipped his hand in other works, such as Netflix's 'I Am Not Okay With This'. For those who aren't familiar with the movie, 'Night at the Museum' is a movie adaptation of the 1993 children's book by Milan Trenc that was first released back in 2006. The movie follows Larry Daley (played by Ben Stiller), a divorced father who applied for a night guard job at a museum. What was supposed to be an easy job became a wild night as all the exhibits on display came to life due to a spell. Though it did not have the best critical reviews, it was still widely loved by many moviegoers and spawned two additional sequels that were released back in 2009 and 2014. Following Disney's acquisition of Fox back in 2019, the studio moved to further expand the franchise with an animated sequel, 'Night at the Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again', that was released directly to Disney+ back in 2022 and received generally positive reviews. Unfortunately, the specifics as to what the film will be about are shrouded in mystery, but it has been confirmed that the story will take place 'at the museum with all-new characters,' as per Deadline's reporting. We can only speculate as to what they mean by this, but we theorise that we would return to the exact same museum that we all know and love, from all the way back in 2006. We simply hope that Clancy can pull out all the stops in his writing ability so as not to taint the memory of this early 2000s franchise, something that has become more of a trend as of late. 'Shrek' Trilogy Will Be Leaving Netflix Soon No matter how big you are, you can never have it all. This is a fact that many Netflix users know by now: that the series that they know and love won't be in the same convenient spot forever. Ever since the streaming giant lost the rights to beloved titles such as 'Friends' and 'The Office', people have decided to constantly re-binge all their favourite series while they still can. And if you are a subscriber or user of the service, it's best to start rewatching the best animated trilogy movie of all time while you still can. We are obviously referring to the legendary 'Shrek' trilogy, of course. Starting 1st August, the beloved trilogy will be leaving the Netflix platform permanently, with no sign of it returning in the foreseeable future. In the meantime, the trilogy in question will be moving to Peacock, another rival streaming service. However, the fourth installment of the franchise, 'Shrek Ever After', can be streamed on Max and on Hulu, though only time will tell if it will stay there. It goes without saying that 'Shrek' has always had a special place in 2000s kids' hearts. The first entry to the franchise, which was released back in 2001, was a legendary film that many still remember fondly to this day. Its sequel, 2004's 'Shrek 2', managed to top that and has been regarded as the best entry in the entire franchise. Unfortunately, its follow-up, 'Shrek the Third', dropped the ball and has since been regarded as one of the worst entries in the entire franchise, as the writing was mediocre at best with unimaginative jokes to top it all off. 'Shrek Forever After' tried its best to recoup its losses by creating a far darker story, but with more emotional bite, which blended nicely with its writing and its jokes. However, due to the bad taste the third movie left in people's mouths, the fourth entry never got the love it deserved and marked the end of the line for the franchise… until now. After 15 years, 'Shrek 5' is just around the corner, something fans have been begging for all this time. Sadly, the fanbase is split down the middle, largely due to the new art style shown in the trailer, with Shrek, in particular, looking quite uncanny. Though their appearances are controversial, all our favourite cast members, such as Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, and John Lithgow, are coming back for this lovely reunion. So if you are in need of a quick refresher or want something to watch in your free time, then why not hop on to your Netflix and start catching up while you still can? Source: Deadline, Movieweb

Deadline reports that production company 21 Laps is working on a reboot of the fantasy comedy "Night at the Museum." Tripper Clancy is working on the script for the reboot. Plot details are under wraps other than it being a reimagining rather than a continuation of the previous films. Read More: Chris Pratt Returns to Fan-Favorite Animated Role Shawn Levy and Dan Levine are producing for 21 Laps. There is no word on a director for the reboot.

The animated feature was helmed by Matt Danner. 20th Century Studios The first "Night at the Museum" film debuted in 2006, based on the 1993 children's book of the same name by Milan Trenc. Ben Stiller plays Larry Daley, a night-shift security guard at the American Museum of Natural History in New York.
