Third 'Night at the Museum' in the works?

Studio 20th Century Fox is reportedly planning a third Night at the Museum film.

Comedian and writer Thomas Lennon, who co-wrote the first two Museum films, hinted to Access Hollywood that a script for a third entry is being written.

"How could you not? I think it's a really outstanding idea to do Night at the Museum 3," he said.

Lennon added: "I wonder if someone's not even already working on a script for that. I cannot confirm that for a fact, but I cannot deny it for a fact either... It might be in the works."

He joked that the next movie would be set "in the Liberace Museum".

Last May, star Ben Stiller said that a third instalment in the franchise is a possibility.
