The action-packed footage also features familiar faces Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Robin Williams and more...

The first trailer for Night at the Museum 3 has landed and there's a lot going on.
Let's start with the new additions – Dan Stevens, Ben Kingsley and Rebel Wilson – who all appear in the footage. Stevens has returned to his Downton roots, employing a plummy accent to play Sir Lancelot who defends the group from a giant dinosaur skeleton entombed in cavernous museum corridors.

Meanwhile, Wilson is the museum's bored security guard (with a dodgy cockney accent), while Kingsley appears as an Egyptian Pharaoh.

Tom Hiddleston’s 5 best impressions, From the Cookie Monster to Alan Rickman

Tilda Swinton has become the latest celebrity to experience Tom Hiddleston’s knack for uncanny impressions.

Tilda stars in Jim Jarmusch-directed vampire flick Only Lovers Left Alive with Hiddleston, and revealed that her co-star spent a lot of their time together dazzling her with impressions.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, she said: ‘We just sort of chewed it and had a great time. We were nocturnal quite a lot, and we played all sorts of silly stuff. He does quite a lot of impressions pretty constantly.’

While admitting she hadn’t heard Tom do an impersonation of her she added that ‘I have seen his Jim Jarmusch and its very good!’

Hiddleston has been getting Hiddlestoners hot under the collar with his scarily accurate mimicry, but which impression is the best? Here’s our (not definitive) ranking.

5) Chris Evans

Captain America Chris Evans has starred with Hiddleston in Marvel’s Avengers Assemble and Thor: The Dark World (albeit briefly), and the pair have done quite a few press rounds, so its unsurprising that Tom has got Evans’ mannerisms on point.

Verdict: While cute, it’s not one of Tom’s better ones though, and nothing beats Evans’ actual speaking voice. Nothing.

4) Samuel L Jackson

It’s a big risk taking on someone as legendary as Samuel L Jackson, but not only does Tom have a go, he puts a Jackson spin on his much-loved Marvel villain Loki.

Verdict: The ‘I am burdened with glorious mother*****g purpose’ line is gold, but you can’t take on Samuel L Jackson and win.

3) Cookie Monster

Downton Abbey alum Dan Stevens to play Lancelot in Night at the Museum 3

UP AND COMERS
November 8, 2013 | Posted by Linda Ge in Casting

Dan Stevens continues to make the most of his post-”Downton Abbey” time, now booking a major role in threequel “Night at the Museum 3.” Deadline reports Stevens will play Lancelot – like out of Arthurian legend – opposite Ben Stiller as security guard turned entrepreneur (turned security guard again?) Larry Daley.

The third installment in the family-friendly comedy/action franchise will see Stiller’s Larry across the pond, dealing with museum exhibits at the London Museum coming to life. Somehow his old buddy Theodore Roosevelt – well, a statue of him, anyway – played by Robin Williams also gets shipped over too, so I’m betting we can expect other familiar faces like Owen Wilson’s tiny cowboy and Rami Malek’s ancient Egyptian pharaoh Ahkmenrah to make an appearance too. Lancelot is described as a pivotal role. I just hope he’ll have a Guinevere! Filming under Shawn Levy is expected to begin in early 2014.

Tom Hiddleston is not just your ‘Avengers‘ villain. He’s also an impromptu Shakespearean and, as we’re just finding out, something of an impressionist. Exhibit A: a video posted online that has compiled all the impressions Hiddleston has performed while out promoting ‘The Avengers’ and ‘War Horse.’ These include, but are not limited to, Owen Wilson, Alan Rickman, Joey (the ‘War Horse’ horse) and the velociraptor from ‘Jurassic Park.’ Beware, your pants may be charmed right off your body.

Tom Hiddleston: 'Avengers' Tom Hiddleston: 'Midnight in Paris role was a dream' Published Sunday, May 20 2012, 2:04am EDT | By Amy Bell | (DIGITAL SPY)

Hiddleston said: "It was three sentences long. 'Dear Tom, I'm making a movie in Paris this summer. I attached some pages. I'd love for you to play the role of Scott'.

"The character was only referred to as 'Scott'. So I thought, okay, this guy Scott is in a scene with a character called Ernest and a character named Zelda. Is Woody Allen writing a movie about F. Scott Fitzgerald?"

Hiddleston however clarified that he only found out the truth after coming onto the set and asking Owen Wilson about the movie.

Rosamund Pike - Pride and Prejudice's Jane to be in "The Big Year" with Steve Martin and Owen Wilson

 

 

British Actress Rosamund Pike Appears on Town & Country Magazine Cover (Exclusive)

8:17 PM PDT 10/11/2011 by Carol McColgin        

 

The "Big Year" actress models Chanel, Dior and Jason Wu in the November issue and talks about Hollywood, her myriad of roles and the importance of being independent.

She played an icy cool Bond girl opposite Pierce Brosnan in 2002's Die Another Day, a Jane Austen heroine in 2005's Pride & Prejudice with Keira Knightley and a party girl in 2009's coming-of-age drama An Education. However, in the November issue of Town & Country, actress Rosamund Pike predicts that this will be her most significant year yet: "I feel like this will be the year that changed my life," she says. "I feel like I'm getting to be good at what I do."

Tom Cruise's 'One Shot:' Rosamund Pike to Play Leading Lady

Her career is on the rise. The 32-year-old British star appears alongside Steve Martin, Jack Black and Owen Wilson in Fox 2000's comedy The Big Year, which hits theaters Friday. She also just started filming Paramount's 2013 thriller One Shot with Tom Cruise in Pittsburgh.
The Town & Country cover, which was shot in Beckley Park in Oxfordshire, England, by Koto Bolofo, features the elegant blonde seated on a bench in the stately home's gardens wearing a delicate Jason Wu lace top with a Dior Haute Couture embroidered tulle skirt and classic English wellies. Inside, the actress models ultra-feminine high fashions by Chanel ($19,445 ivory lace and tulle gown) and Monique Lhuillier ($9,490 silvery beaded tulle frock). The real showstopper is a glamorous peach and burgundy strapless tulle ball gown by Carolina Herrera ($6,990).
In the article, the actress discusses Hollywood and the range of roles she has tackled. Pike also makes one thing clear -- the key to success is being able to stand firmly on your own. "If you ever need a man to rescue you," Pike says, "you make damn sure you never have to be rescued again. You can take care of yourself." The actress was engaged to her Pride & Prejudice director Joe Wright, but it was called off last minute before the wedding in 2008.
The November issue of Town & Country hits newsstands Thursday.
