The THR report states that Cohen is already deep into his draft, which according to them signifies that Sony intends to continue the franchise’s top-tier status. And why wouldn’t they?

... remake.
MIB was a really fun movie that I enjoyed watching back in the day. The sequel was okay, definitely not as good as the first one. The two films combined made over one billion dollars. As for part three? I guess we’ll have to wait and see whose involved and how it turns out. I hope Barry Sonnenfeld comes back to direct, but he’s pretty busy with his TV stuff right now.
So what do you think about the Men in Black 3 news?

Men In Black III Gets The Tropic Thunder Treatment After years of waiting Men in Black III is finally happening.

THR says Barry Sonenfeld, who directed the first movie, will probably be back. Unfortunately Sonenfeld also directed the first movie and, lets face it, he ...

Normally I frown on sequels, but the original movie and cartoon series that followed it still have a soft spot in my heart. Getting Etan Cohen to script the film is definitely a step in the right direction.

With the first two movies scoring Sony a box-office bounty of $1.1-billion, Will’s refusal to commit to a third is stalling a project that everyone wants…and you can bet that he knows it.
The word is that Will [seen here with wife, Jada] wants to come back, and with no other movies in play he has little choice if he wants to stay famous…But this is Hollywood, so the ego’s in play.
