Owen Wilson Felt Comfortable With Funny Co-Stars On 'Night At The Museum 3'

It's probably true when it comes to most family comedies that being involved is less stressful than a more serious drama, but Owen Wilson feels that doesn't ring more true than on the set of 'Night Of The Museum: Secret Of The Tomb'.

There may be a lot of chaos what with wild animals and cavemen running loose in London, but 'Night At The Museum' is a set that star Owen Wilson, who plays miniature cowboy Jedediah in the franchise, feels right at home on - mainly because of the stellar cast he has surrounding him. 'Working with Ben Stiller... we've worked together on a lot of things and for me it's just very familiar and very comfortable', he explains. 'And then Steve Coogan and Ben Stiller, that's who my scenes are usually always with... those guys just made me laugh.'

With such a hilarious cast, which is also including Rebel Wilson, the late Robin Williams and Ricky Gervais, it would be foolish for any director to try and take full control of a film, when there is so much improvisational fun that can be had. 'The way that Shawn Levy, the director, works is he's very supportive and he'll throw out ideas and encourage us if we come up with something to try it', Wilson says. 'In that sense the set feels very loose and open, you feel encouraged to come up with funny stuff.'
