Die "Men in Black" verhindern, dass wir Normalsterblichen bemerken, dass die Aliens längst unter uns sind... Selten zuvor wurde Science-Fiction so durch den Kakao gezogen...
"Es gibt ca. 15.000 Aliens auf diesem Planeten. Die meisten leben in Manhattan und versuchen einfach, über die Runden zu kommen", erklärt Spezialagent Kay (Tommy Lee Jones) seinem neuen und erstaunten Jungpartner Jay (Will Smith).
Tatsächlich betreiben die Aliens ganz alltägliche Geschäfte...
Unsere beste, letzte und einzige Verteidigungslinie gegen den Abschaum aus dem Universum wurde in "Men in Black 2" wieder aktiv: Diesmal geht es gegen ein Unterwäsche-Model (Lara Flynn Boyle), das in Wahrheit ein böses kylothianisches Monster ist und nichts anderes will als einen bösartigen Zerstörungsplan zu verwirklichen. Aus diesem Grund nimmt es gleich die ganze Zentrale der MIB als Geisel. Einzig Kay könnte helfen. Doch der ist inzwischen Postbeamter und weil er nach dem letzten Abenteuer geblitzdingst worden war, kann er sich an nichts erinnern - auch nicht an Jay. Und so muss Jay in einem Wettlauf gegen die Zeit alles tun, um Kay davon zu überzeugen, dass er die Welt retten muss - und vor allem: retten kann...

Men in Black III-D (aka Men in Black 3, MIB3D) will be the third installment of the film’s franchise. It will be released in 3D by Sony Pictures and directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, who directed the first two installments. The third was originally based on a script written by writer Etan Cohen, who has penned popular movies such as Tropic Thunder and Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa. Sony confirmed that David Koepp would serve as an additional screenwriter, joining Cohen. Koepp is currently rewriting a new draft of the script, which takes place primarily in the year 1969.
It was initially announced that Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith would reprise their roles as Agents Kay and Jay, respectively. Both had previously expressed interest in reprising their roles back in 2008.
While Smith has officially signed on to return as Agent Jay, Jones is in advanced negotiations to return as Agent Kay. Josh Brolin is also in talks to play the younger (1969) version of Kay. Others rumored to have parts in the film include Sacha Baron Cohen and Jemaine Clement. It was later confirmed that Clement had landed the role of Boris (formerly named "Yaz"). Production of the sequel is tentatively set to begin during the 2010 Fall season and will welcome back producers Walter F. Parkes and Laurie MacDonald. Steven Spielberg is also set to return as executive producer.
In a Sony Insider exclusive, we have very short footage of Will Smith (in 3D, hence the blurriness) in his black suit and slick shades teasing us about his upcoming role. The clip debuted at an exclusive Sony 3D TV launch event at Sony Pictures Studios.

"Flight of the Conchords" star Jemaine Clement is in final negotiations to play one of the villains in Columbia's "Men in Black 3."
Will Smith recently signed his deal to return as the alien-chasing government agent, as did returning director Barry Sonnenfeld.
Most of the action is taking place in 1969, with Josh Brolin playing a young Tommy Lee Jones, who will bookend the movie.
Most of the new casting will be the villains, whose identities, look and super-abilities are being kept under lock and key. It is known that Clement is playing a villain named Boris, who is described as being charmy and creepy at the same time. (The name Yaz was used as a filler name, and since the script is still being polished, there is a chance the name may change again.) [...]

Columbia Pictures announced today that Men in Black III will be released in 3D on May 25, 2012. Walter F. Parkes and Laurie MacDonald are returning to produce and Barry Sonnenfeld, who directed the first two installments of the blockbuster franchise, will direct the film from a screenplay written by Etan Cohen, based on the comic book by Lowell Cunningham. Steven Spielberg is set to executive produce.
Deals are set for Will Smith, Sonnenfeld and the producing team to return to the blockbuster franchise with the intent to begin production by this fall and the studio is in advanced negotiations with Tommy Lee Jones to reprise his role as Agent Kay. Josh Brolin is also in talks to star as a young Agent Kay.
Commenting on the announcement, Jeff Blake, Chairman of Sony Pictures Worldwide Marketing and Distribution said, "Sony's summer of 2012 will get off to a red hot start with an incredible new 3D adventure for the Men in Black. We couldn't be more excited that the original filmmaking team responsible for the first two worldwide hits is reuniting for this third installment. We love where the story is taking Agents Jay and Kay and know this new chapter will deliver a fresh fun twist for fans of the franchise while also introducing the Men in Black to a whole new generation of moviegoers."
The first two "Men in Black" films, which were released in 1997 and 2002, went on to become two of the most successful films in Columbia Pictures history, taking in more than $1 billion combined worldwide. The first film in the franchise won an Academy Award® for Best Makeup and was nominated for two other Oscars®.

[...] Director Barry Sonnenfeld tells me that "Men in Black 3-D" is ready to roll. Will Smith has signed on, Tommy Lee Jones is in, and a script is awaited.
Yes. I did say 3D. "Men in Black 3? will be in 3D. Sonnenfeld says it is so. Why not? Everything else is, and this is one movie that might be cool in the process. [...]

Will Smith is pondering which ship he'll captain next.
It's down to two choices: Sony's "Men in Black III" or 20th Century Fox's fantasy-adventure "The City That Sailed."
Each project has particular appeal for the actor. [...]
The "Men in Black" franchise, of course, has been a box office goldmine for Smith, and Sony. First film, released in 1997, grossed $587.8 million worldwide. The 2002 sequel earned $441.8 million globally.
It's been a while since Smith graced the bigscreen. His last film, Sony's drama "Seven Pounds," was released in December 2008. [...]
Insiders, however, offered this nugget: One of the two will be Smith's next film.

Hero Complex meldet....
Josh Brolin could be going from "W." to K.
With "No Country for Old Men," "Milk," "W.," and, of course, "The Goonies" on his resume, Brolin's filmography speaks for itself. Now he may be adding "Men in Black 3" to that estimable list.
The actor is being considered for a role that would have him donning the black suit and shades for the third installment of the sci-fi comedy franchise. His exact part is a matter of discussion, but in recent days there's been chatter in Hollywood development circles of a few possibilities: He could play a new single-monikered government agent, with Tommy Lee Jones' Agent K passing the baton to Brolin's character. Or he could play Agent K as a young man. Or something else entirely.
Whatever the part, Brolin could be playing against some star power: Will Smith is expected to return in the new "MIB" as Agent J.
It wouldn't mark the first time J ran missions with someone else. In the second film, his character briefly chased aliens and erased memories with other partners before Jones' Agent K came out of retirement.
Sony is currently contemplating a production start for the picture in 2010 (though it has yet to be greenlit). The film, which is based on a script by "Tropic Thunder" writer Etan Cohen and which tentatively has Barry Sonnenfeld coming back to direct, could shoot at least partly in New York.
One issue that still needs to be worked out: scheduling. [...]

Parade.com beantwortet Fragen der Leser, u.a. geht es um einen 3. Teil mit den "Men in Black"....
Q With all the sequels being made, will there be a third installment of Men in Black? - Tim Owen, Westport, Mass.
A Yes - if Walter Parkes, producer of the billion-dollar franchise, can arrange it. " The challenge is getting the script right and finding a time when our busy stars are available," says a source close to Parkes. "But everyone, including Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, wants to do another."

Laut Moviehole zweifelt Will Smith (derzeit) an "MIIIB"...
It sounds like we might have seen the last of our alien-hunting MIB's for a while.
Will Smith - whilst on the promotional trail for his "I, Robot" - told Moviehole that a "Men in Black 3" is unlikely at this stage, if only because he's realised there's better genre films to be made than sequels to the Men in Black series.
"I feel like I, Robot really raises the bar for me for that genre, so there has to be those other levels. Not that you can't have fun, but there is something about I, Robot...", explains Smith. [..]

TV Guide Online berichtet über "Men in Black III"...
[...] Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones may not be done kicking alien butt just yet: Columbia Pictures is itching to re-team the duo for a third Men In Black flick, TV Guide Online has learned. "The studio wants one," confirms Walter Parkes, the producer behind the 1997 blockbuster and last summer's sequel. "We're trying to figure out the auspices of it and what to do to freshen that franchise up a little bit."
Translation: Despite grossing a respectable $190 million stateside, MIB II was a dud creatively - a fact even Parkes won't deny. "It was a heartbreaking thing," he sighs of the follow-up, which scored its biggest laughs courtesy of a talking pug named Frank. "There were many disagreements among the different principals, and what came out was not a movie worthy of the franchise."

Ohne ernstzunehmende Konkurrenz genoss "Men in Black 2" ein zweites Wochenende exklusiv an der Spitze der deutschen Charts. Zu schaffen machte dem Blockbuster bestenfalls das Sommerwetter, sodass sich nach den sensationellen 1,7 Mio. Besuchern zum Start nunmehr nur noch vorerst geschätzte 710.000 Zuschauer in den Kinos einfanden - das bedeutet ein Minus von etwa 60 Prozent. Insgesamt steht der Film damit bei sehr starken 3,2 Mio. Besuchern nach dem zweiten Wochenende. [...]

Auf die "Men in Black 2" ist Verlass: In ihrem neuen gemeinsamen Filmabenteuer retten Will Smith und Tommy Lee Jones nicht nur den Planeten, sondern auch den letzthin verdächtig leise vor sich hinplätschernden deutschen Kinosommer: Mit vorerst geschätzten 1,55 Mio. Besuchern blieb das Sequel zwar hinter dem Sensationsstart des Originals zurück (1,95 Mio. Besucher), dennoch war es der nach "Episode II" bislang zweitbeste Start des Jahres (noch vor "Ice Age" und "Spider-Man"). [...]

[...] Natürlich, das Hauptthema des Films bleibt mitreißend und mysteriös klingend. Es ist das Hauptthema des Films, doch muss es sich deshalb gleich durch alle 18 Tracks des Soundtracks ziehen? Einzig die «Worm Lounge», das Thema zur Szene mit den Wurm-Monstern in ihrem Apartment, hat den typischen Elfman-Humor. [...]
