Columbia Pictures is officially having conversations regarding their third entry in the Men in Black franchise as we're being told by industry insiders that in addition to Jonah Hex cowboy Josh Brolin likely (still unconfirmed) to star, they've shown strong interest in both Sacha Baron Cohen (Sweeney Todd, Bruno) and Jemaine Clement ("The Flight of the Conchords") for a character named "Yaz" (a new agent?). Neither are locked, this should be taken strictly as rumor for now. Etan Cohen (Tropic Thunder, Igor, Idiocracy) wrote the screenplay. Shooting was originally rumored to begin this spring. The 1997 Men in Black grossed nearly $600m worldwide, while its 2002 sequel took in $440m. Why so long for another sequel? Who knows!
I'm with everyone else where the hell are Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones?! They may as well just reboot the whole damn franchise if they can't get Jones or Smith to return or just not do the movie at all!!! Sony should be focusing its energy and money on Ghostbusters 3 and Zombieland 2 instead of this!
really?? Listen i like Jones and Smith as much as the next guy but it isn't the end all, be all if one or both of these guys don't show up. pretty sure the agency has more than two guys on staff. plus with the time in between movies Tommy's character could have died or something. I'd like to think story trumps the need to bring back an expensive actor.If I recall actor's fees was the big hold up for the second movie. let's just see a trailer before we threaten to ban a sci-fi movie, o.k.?
Why is this being reported on? I thought this was a horror site, not a comedy site. Is it because there are fx in these movies, wtf? Between this and Twilight....
That's exactly what I was going to say maynard. Watch this, they are going to blast us with good news about the movie, and then the ONE news will come in and turn this movie into crap. And that news will be "this movie will be in 3D". Just guessing..but that's what they did to Scream 4... Oh well, I never really cared that much for MIB anyways.
Any movie in 3D should be welcomed, that's the future of cinema. If you don't like it, then you might as well quit watching movies cold turkey. I can't wait for the movie, liked the first two :)
