Yep, Men in Black III may actually be happening. I heard rumors about this a few months ago, though nothing conclusive; well, now, Sony hired Tropic Thunder writer Etan Cohen (who also wrote the hilarious Idiocracy, and an upcoming Sherlock Holmes comedy with Will Ferrell as Watson and Sacha Baron Cohen as Holmes). Good news? Maybe. I loved the original as a kid, and, like many, was pretty disappointed with the sequel (Will Smith even said that the film was a letdown). Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones aren’t signed to return yet, but they might if the script is good enough. Could be something worthwhile here; let’s see how this develops. I’d love a good MiB sequel, one that recaptures the smart and very hip humor of the first one.
Actually, for an embarrassing factoid, my 7th grade English teacher made us write (and justify! With lots of adjectives!) which sequel we’d most like to see. I chose Men in Black—I loved that world, and the possibilities for more good stories seemed endless. If they get the cast back, and hammer out a strong script, this might just take the series out on a good note.
What do you guys think? Up for more adventures with J and K, or should they just let this series die? And could Will Smith still make “this look good”, or use that “midget cricket” to blast away some alien scum?
