Barry Sonnefeld, the director of MEN IN BLACK’s I & II, has confirmed that Mr. Smith and Mr. Tommy Lee Jones have agreed to star in a third outing with Earth’s best protection against the worst scum of the universe. And it's going to be in 3D. Those are the facts. The rumors pertain to Josh “ Jonah Hex” Brolin playing a younger version of Jones’ Agent K character for some time-travel related adventures, and Sasha Baron Cohen (you might know him as Borat or Bruno) and Jermaine Clement (who I’m not familiar with) vying for the same role of a new undercover alien.
I want to gone on a whole screed about crazy it is that the obscure Malibu comic MEN IN BLACK has been the inspiration for a huge media franchise that’s encompassed two blockbusters movies, a cartoon show and (a really cool) shooting gallery ride at Universal Studios. It’s a success story that’s as amazing as the Ninja Turtles. I want to go on that screed, but I’m going to have to save that for another time, because my desire to jump up and start getting jiggy with it is far greater at the moment.
Let me see just bounce with me, just bounce with me…
