Enchanting Adams signs on for Museum visit

Enchanted star Amy Adams has joined the cast of Night At The Museum 2: Escape From the Smithsonian, according to reports.

Industry bible Variety says Adams, who is also currently appearing alongside Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts in Charlie Wilson's War, will join the returning Ben Stiller for the film, which sees the action move from New York to Washington DC.

She will play an "undetermined" historical figure who develops a crush on Stiller's character - hapless security guard Larry Daley.

Shawn Levy, who directed the first Night at the Museum and Steve Martin's 2006 remake of The Pink Panther, will be behind the camera. The original movie's screenwriting team of Robert Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon will also be on board.

The original A Night at the Museum was release in the UK in December 2006. It took over $573 million (£291 million) at the worldwide box office.
