#Secrets of the lost tomb emila erhart movie

It’s as if they’re all really feeling the effects of the power-down of the aforementioned MacGuffin, a golden tablet seen in a 1930s Egyptian prologue (a straight rip from Raiders of the Lost Ark), that explains the reason for the reanimated historical personages of the series. (Amy Adams’ feisty Amelia Earhart is MIA). The same goes for Mickey Rooney, who also died this year, and who is seen briefly cameoing his elder guard role in a scene with a cavorting Dick Van Dyke.īoth departed actors are seen just going through the motions, as are most of the familiar participants in this clear cash grab, who also include Ben Stiller as frantic night guard Larry (he now does double duty as a caveman named Laa), Owen Wilson as tiny cowboy Jebediah, Steve Coogan as equally wee Roman warrior Octavius and Patrick Gallagher as beefy Attila the Hun.

But any final fire in his last major film has been extinguished. Williams returns among the historical restorations of the Museum crew as the magically revived Teddy Roosevelt, and he gets extra screen time.

The mystical MacGuffin of the third and supposedly final Night at the Museum movie resembles a giant golden BlackBerry, which may explain why it feels like everybody just phoned it in.Įspecially Robin Williams, who sadly ended his own life not long after filming wrapped on Shawn Levy’s latest franchise frenzy, subtitled Secret of the Tomb, which shifts much of story to the British Museum.

Starring Ben Stiller, Robin Williams, Owen Wilson, Steve Coogan, Ben Kingsley, Rebel Wilson, Dan Stevens and Skyler Gisondo.
