My good god, I can hardly believe that there's going to be a Night at the Museum sequel, yes I know it made a lot of money, but surely it didn't make so much money that they could be considering a sequel?

Well it seems they are, and can you even believe that Reese Witherspoon is set to star in the sequel? The sequel that knocked James Cameron's Avatar off it's release spot?

That's insane, it really is. However it's perhaps not so insane when you read the takings from Variety through Jo Blo, US $252 million, yes, you read that right.

Night at the Museum 2: Escape From the Smithsonian is set for a May 22nd release, 2009.

According to the story Ben Stiller is set to return because he hasn't really worked hard enough on killing his own career, and Reese Witherspoon is in negotiations to co-star as Amelia Earhart.

With the title of Night at the Museum 2: Escape from the Smithsonian, what are the bets that the live exhibits escape and run riot through the city?

Oh dear this really pains me that profit margins own so much of Hollywood, and that we're so willing to accept this money grabbing rubbish, more to the point these big names stars are so keen to leap on board such films. It seems we're all hungry for cash, although we seem to be hungry to give it away.
