Acting veterans Mickey Rooney and Dick Van Dyke are returning to studio films, playing villains in Shawn Levy's family flick "Night at the Museum" for 20th Century Fox says The Hollywood Reporter.
Rooney and Van Dyke, along with Bill Cobbs, will play security guards at the Museum of Natural History on the same detail as Ben Stiller's night watchman. Stiller's character discovers a magical pharaoh's tablet, but Van Dyke, playing the head of security who has worked at the museum for nearly 50 years, wants the tablet to stay young.
Rooney is his colleague who, with Cobbs, helps Van Dyke's character with his nefarious schemes. Van Dyke's last appearance in a feature film was in 1990's "Dick Tracy".
