Will Smith & Tommy Lee Jones Will Return for Men in Black 3D

The last time we heard about Men in Black 3, it was one of two potential projects that could become Will Smith's very next film. Though we still don't know if MiB3 will definitely be his next project, Showbiz411 caught up with franchise director Barry Sonnenfeld who told them that Smith is already signed on and, somewhat surprisingly, Tommy Lee Jones will be returning for the sequel which, as can be assumed with any upcoming blockbuster, will be in 3D. More than likely it'll be MiB3 that will take precedence as Sony recently lost Spider-M4n as their big Memorial Day 2011 movie, and this threequel would fit in there nicely.

Bringing Jones back is an interesting move considering that rumors surrounding Josh Brolin joining the franchise mentioned (SPOILERS) that Brolin may be in line to play a younger version of Agent K (Jones' character) in a storyline involving Will Smith's Agent J traveling back in time. But Brolin could just as easily be a new agent with Jones passing the baton and only making a brief appearance. Who knows? In addition to Brolin's potential casting, there's been rumblings of Sacha Baron Cohen and Jemaine Clement joining as a character named Yaz, who, given the unusual appearance of those two actors, is likely an alien. Either way, it sounds like MiB3 is really gearing up for production, so hopefully Smith will jump head first into the sequel.

Boo, 3D.

I'm getting tired of this 3D bullshitnanigans -_-
People's Champ

Hopefully when they start shooting this, 3D will be done.
CLAW

Well at least it'll be better than MIB2, let us be honest it couldn't get any worse than that bottom feeder of a film. The first film was great fun so here's hoping they get back on track and just forget about that embarrassing second effort.

I'm getting tired of people always complaining about 3d on this site. We get it, you hate it, shut up already!
Xerxex

Cmurder the moment we stop bitching 3-D is the moment 3-D wins, WE WILL NEVER STOP!!!!!!

MIB3... *sigh*

They should Call these 3D movies, "enhanced depth perception.." Captain EO to me is 3D.

@#5- Nope!, 3D is just getting started, you wait and see whats going to happen, it's probably going to be like 3D in 2160p, for theaters and future HDTV's too!.

EEEYYYAAASSS!
Xerxex

#11 don't even joke like that! 3-D is just horrible.
Al

When I hear about all these movies in 3D, I get more afraid than a girl scout selling cookies at Roman Polanskis house........ ..........too soon? In all seriousness though, 3D doesnt aid to the story, characters, plot, or suspension of disbelief. If anything it makes all these things harder to get into. Movies with 3D have basically become a $15 distraction.

"I won't be, the 3-D just annoy's me." 3D is no more annoying than the improper use of the apostrophe.
Xerxex

Oh God I used an annoying apostrophe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wadda about my over-use of an exclimation point's? Please's forgive's me's? please's? ya fuckin gramma nazi!

I would love to see Smith and Jones one more time in MIB3 but this 3D thing is just bullshit. The technology used for 3D is just lame. When they invent something that don't uses glasses, don't give you headaches and makes you sick...maybe I will consider it.
People's Champ

Rather see Smith do this than Bad Boys 3 or ID 2 by far. I dont even a big MIB fan.
Jedibilly

Xerxex, stop bitchin about 3D. You must be blind in one eye and don't even know it. You can always go to the screen next door and watch it 2D! Although I dislike 3D conversions, I'm sure these new big budget movies like this one will use the right technology like Alice In Wonderland and Avatar.
Xerxex

Where you been jedibilly? I'm always bitching about 3-D, and I will never stop, you can't make me! Besides Alice in 3-D...S U C K E D. Avatar was not that impressive in 3-D...3-D subtitles? really? that's what I paid for?
Jedi

Xerxex, you made my point exactly. People bitching about 3D on a movie-based forum all the time is just as lame as people bitching about improper grammar on the internet. You complain about it on every article about a movie being in 3D. You don't like it, we get it. Let's move on. BTW, you spelled "exclamation" wrong. Yes, I'm a fuckin spelling Nazi too. =P

Wow if MIB II felt thin and unnecessary, I can't imagine how forced this will turn out. Tony Shalhoub (who I really like) will probably back, again, get his face blown off, again, the plot will probably be really predictable and the film will have an even shorter running time of say 75 minutes (that's with the 12 minutes of end credits) 3D is a fad and they're trying to cash in on a semi-nostalgic cash grab that feels ill-conceived. But I'll see it on Netflix for sure:P
Mr.Cookie

If they would have this ready by Memorial Weekend next year they would have to start shooting by...right now. And if they want 3D, that would be even more a pain in the butt.
Buzz

Amen CMurder. 6 months ago, I didn't think there would ever be a day I could read the commets on this site and not see people bitching about remakes. But now it's 3-D. Seriously everyone, hate all you want, but realize that you can ALWAYS see a movie in 2D. There has yet to be a movie shown only in 3-D. And not only will you not have to sit through something you hate, you'll actually be helping the 2-D cause. Xerxex, you should vote with your dollar and not with your voice on the Internet. It'll be the only real way to get things changed
Chase

MIB 3 really? the 2nd was horrible, do we really need to waste time and money on a 3rd film? oh wait this is Sony, of course we do. I agree that the 3d fade needs to go, but God forbid you voice an opinion on this site because you'll be ridiculed for it.

Why does every reference to Tommy Lee Jones being in MIB3 insist that he must be only making a brief appearance or passing the baton to another character? Is it so inconceivable that Tommy Lee Jones is coming back full time, the full monty? When did he become replaceable? Men in Black doesn't work without Jones; the whole franchise rests on the rapport he and Will Smith have. I actually think he's more important than Smith. Is it an ageism thing? Tommy Lee Jones is not that old people, and he hasn't aged on screen in years. Give the guy a break and let him come work his magic.
Xerxex

ooohhhhh this is fun, fun, FUN!!!! People coming at me because of my seething hate for 3-D! Jedi, Jedibilly and Buzz LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! I'm never, ever, ever, ever, ever, going to stop my constant bitching about 3-D any article that is pertaining to 3-D will have my negative 3-D comments and guess what there is nothing you three can do about it! I love film, and I'm not gonna let some half-assed gimmick ruin what I love. p.s. I'll misspell what ever the hell I want! Its the internet, we use things like LOL, LMAO, ROTFLCOPTER, and much much more!!!!! p.p.s I like all of you guys, your opinions matter, and like me FS.net allows us to use this webpage! HAVE A GREAT DAY DUDERINO'S!!!!

Rip Torn ripped in 3D would be pretty entertaining.
