News (Page 2)

Hank Azaria - best known for his multiple voices on The Simpsons - has signed on for two new feature projects: the Judd Apatow-produced Year One and Night at the Museum 2.

Azaria will play Abraham in Year One, a comedy set in biblical times. The film also stars Jack Black and Michael Cera. Harold Ramis will direct.

For Night at the Museum 2: Escape from the Smithsonian, Azaria will play an ancient Egyptian pharoah. He joins a cast that includes Ben Stiller and Amy Adams.

According to Variety, Amy Adams is in negotiations to star opposite Ben Stiller in Night at the Museum 2: Escape From the Smithsonian.

The movie kicks off when the artifacts from the Museum of Natural History are boxed up and sent to the archives at the Smithsonian in Washington. Adams - who charmed us in Enchanted - will play an undetermined historical figure who has a crush on security guard Larry (Stiller).

Shawn Levy returns to direct the sequel, which has a release date already set for May 22, 2009.
