Stiller, Hill, Levy Reuniting for Non-Museum-Based Comedy

Ben Stiller, Jonah Hill, and director Shawn Levy are going to Hawaii! Strangely, they aren't going for Night at the Museum 3: Polynesian Cultural Center Adventure, even though that really seemed like where the series was headed.

Rather, Night at the Museum 2's security guards will star in something called Aloha, a film THR says has been "vaguely described as an island-set comedy." With Levy attached to direct, Get Him to the Greek writer Nicholas Stoller will write the script from an idea Hill and Stiller developed on the set of The Watch--a concept no doubt conceived shortly after Vince Vaughn described the tan he got shooting Couples Retreat. Fox has already picked up the project, and Levy and the principals are coming on to also produce. Plot details are being kept secret, but Hawaiian entertainment historians predict Stiller will end up chasing a beautiful hula dancer, Hill will aggravate fellow vacationers with his overly-regimented schedule, and Uncle Jesse will perform "Rock-A-Hula Baby."
