For quite sometime now we've heard rumblings of a third
Men in Black movie. It sorta always seemed like a long shot, but one I hoped would happen. A movie that Sony would probably pass on because of the heavy price tag to get star
Will Smith back in the black and white suit.
Sony/Columbia has in fact got the
Men in Black ball moving and the second sequel is happening and set for a release in
2012. Take a look below for the full rundown on "
Men in Black III"...
Since
2008, it has been fairly for sure that a third would movie happen, with the question just being when.
Barry Sonnenfeld will return to direct. Sonnenfeld also directed the first two scifi comedies. Back in November of
2009, Sony/Columbia hired
Etan Cohen to pen a script for the second sequel and word since then has been positive. Cohen who previously penned
Tropic Thunder, helped to woo
Will Smith back for a third go round.
So the big question about a third
Men in Black movie is, who will return?
Sony/Columbia have luckily got both Smith and
Tommy Lee Jones to return (sort of). Word is that Cohen's script deals with time travel and someone else will be playing a younger version of
Agent Kay. In order to have a younger
Agent Kay that's not made over by CGI, Columbia has landed
Josh Brolin to play him. Brolin is perfect for the part. He has both the look and range to pull off Tommy Lee Jones. Jones is however, still in the script and will play Agent Kay in the present day scenes.
This brings us up to current speed. Although this week a few more bits of info have surfaced on the third movie. We know that "
Men in Black III" will be in
3D and is set for a
May 25th, 2012 release. We also now seem to have our first villain! News broke yesterday that
Jemaine Clement of
Flight of the Conchords will play a role rumored to be
Yaz.
Sacha Baron Cohen has also been rumored for the role. No word on whether both Clement and Baron Cohen would play the same villain at different ages or if Cohen is out of the running with Jemaine Clement set to star. I love the idea of Clement as a baddie for the threequel. He's seems to be a effective choice for a comedy/action, one that can trade a few lines with Will Smith as well as some punches. Stay tuned for more on "
Men in Black III" as it breaks...
