NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM: BATTLE OF THE SMITHSONIAN
Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Music Composed by Alan Silvestri


It’s a new “Night” and “Museum” for Ben Stiller, who is joined by several other stars from the original film, as well as new characters from history — including Amy Adams as famed aviatrix Amelia Earhart, Hank Azaria as villainous Egyptian pharaoh Kahmunrah, Christopher Guest as Russian tyrant Ivan the Terrible and Alain Chabat as Napoleon. Owen Wilson is back as cowboy Jedediah, and Robin Williams again rides into history as Teddy Roosevelt. The centerpiece of the film will be bringing to life the Smithsonian Institution, which houses the world’s largest museum complex with more than 136 million items in its collections, ranging from the plane Amelia Earhart flew on her nonstop solo flight across the Atlantic and Al Capone’s rap sheet and mug shot to Dorothy’s ruby red slippers and Archie Bunker’s lounge chair. No major film has ever shot inside the Smithsonian in Washington … until Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian.

Composer Alan Silvestri, who has breathed musical life into a Delorean, a Mummy, a mouse named Stuart Little, and a volleyball named Wilson, strikes up a band that includes the entire menagerie of the Smithsonian for his latest summer blockbuster! The original NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM made over $250 Million at the US box office and was the #2 movie for 2006!

20th Century Fox opens NIGHT IN THE MUSEUM: BATTLE OF THE SMITHSONIAN in theaters everywhere May 22.

what D said

The first one actually caused me to look for my bucket. Very messy, all over the place, full of mickey mousing. I'll take the Silvestri of Judge Dredd or BEOWULF anyday.

I might welcome it too when i have my own children

Well, Silvestri was replacing Ottman late in, so mickey mousing usually occurs from that time restraint. This time, he has more time, so there's no excuse.

What? Where did you pull that "fact" out from?

Ummm...

-Erik-

So Aliens, Lost in Space, and many others I forget about are mickey mouse scores, thanks for clearing that up.

It's duly noted, thanks Thor.

Apparently they are, yes.

I don't think I've ever made that connection before myself, but Justin's brain works in mysterious ways, you know.

No one was replaced on "Aliens" and some compsoerws can do better under tight constraints than others.

No score was replaced on "Lost In Space", though Isham did dod a number of demos; Broughton had time as I understand.

Ummm... Wasn't it Goldsmith who was going to pen this one and had to bow out LATE and therefore Broughton had only two weeks to write and record that massive piece of mickey mousing.

So, now it's only on rejected scores do composer use mickey mousing. Ok... Horner most definitely mastered the art of mickey mousing in Troy, huh? Tyler's inspired mickey mousing in Timeline has to be heard. Goldsmith showed up late on The 13th Warrior and showed the world how a Master mickey mouses. Mickey mousing has never been better than when Kamen's replaced Morricone on What Dream May Come. Tangerine Dream's mickey mousing score to Legend is legendary. Shall I continue?
