Men in Black 3 Gets Green Light

It's unclear if Mr. Smith and Mr. Jones are in

Share

(Newser) – The Men in Black are back … at least, Sony hopes they will be. The studio is moving forward with a third installment in the franchise and has tapped Tropic Thunder writer Etan Cohen for the script. Barry Sonnenfeld is willing to return to the director’s chair, sources tell the Hollywood Reporter, but the men themselves, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, are MIA. Neither has committed to the project, though Smith reportedly has come around to the idea.

Without Smith and Jones, there's no point in making it. Hope they sign on, because I want to see it. Reply

As long as Smith isn't dumb enough to want to make the soundtrack, I'm all for it.
