Night at the Museum 2: Escape from the Smithsonian starts work in Vancouver next month, with Ben Stiller reprising his 2006 role as a put-upon night watchman for Twentieth Century Fox and director/producer Shawn Levy. Earlier this year, the project was thought to be in danger of folding because of the Writers Guild of America strike. Now, it is among the many U.S. titles that have reportedly been rushed into production in case of a summertime walkout by the Screen Actors Guild. Shooting will also take place at the actual Smithsonian in Washington, DC.
