Take a good look. Found in the wild at theaters this weekend were two teaser posters for Men in Black 3, directed again by Barry Sonnenfeld. There's one for Will Smith, returning as Agent J, and one for Tommy Lee Jones, returning as Agent K. The faces for each are made up of hundreds of tiny MIB3 logos of varying levels of darkness, and there's even a "hidden" URL. Our friends at Collider snapped a shot of Agent K, as neither of these have officially hit the web yet, and our reader "Guts Spill" from New Jersey sent us the shot of Agent J, both seen below. Plus there's a new website, at least a URL, hidden in the logos. Can you find it?

So here's the two MIB3 teaser posters seen so far. We don't have high res versions just yet as they were only found in theaters, but I expect they'll show up online soon. Once they do, we'll update these images and replace them with the official high def versions. Thanks again to Collider for getting the shot of the Tommy Lee Jones one on the right. I'm wondering when we'll see Josh Brolin or Alice Eve? In HD via ComingSoon:

So in that final image above, which was made and posted by MovieViral, you can clearly see there's a new website at TheMenInBlackSuitsAreReal.com. If we split it up, it reads The Men in Black Suits Are Real, which actually sounds like an awesome start of a viral campaign. (Maybe there really is some MIB as part of our government despite the White House's denial?) It could be fun. But, unfortunately, when you go to that URL all it does it forward to a Facebook page for The Men In The Black Suits Are Real blog. So it's likely just some boring Facebook game that's immediately related to the movie? Well that's just a little lame.

At least it has a somewhat cool logo (as seen below), and some blog post about a guy claiming, almost like District 9, that this is all real. "I've uncovered that there's these Men in Black suits who monitor and police alien activity on earth. Up until now no one believes me, so I'm on a mission to prove that they're real and that's why I started this Facebook page." I really don't think this is going to help much, but he can try.

Men in Black III is once again directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, also of the first two. This newest sequel is said to be set mostly in the year 1969 and involves Agent J (Will Smith) time-traveling back to that year, where he meets up with a young Agent K (Josh Brolin) for some plot involving, most likely, our landing on the Moon. The cast also includes Emma Thompson as Agent Oh, Alice Eve as a young Oh, Bill Hader, Jemaine Clement, Rip Torn and Michael Stuhlbarg. It was shot in 3D and Columbia currently has it scheduled to hit theaters starting on May 25th next summer, so we'll keep you updated from here. Hope we see more soon!
