Will Smith has officially signed on to reunite with Tommy Lee Jones and director Barry Sonnenfeld for Men in Black 3, the third installment in the billion-dollar sci-fi comedy-action series about alien-tracking secret agents. And yes, it will be shot in 3-D and will be released on May 25, 2012. Will Smith will resume his role of alien-hunter Agent J while negotiations are going on with Tommy Lee Jones, who played Agent K in the previous Men in Black offerings. Academy Award nominated star Josh Brolin is also in talks to play the younger version of Jones’s character in the film. The film will be directed by Barry Sonnenfeld and produced by Walter F. Parkes and Laurie MacDonald. Steven Spielberg will resume the job of executive producer of the film. Production of the film aims to start off in fall 2010. It has also been confirmed that David Koepp is the new screenwriter joining Etan Cohan and is currently re-writing a new draft of the script. “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,” Sony Pictures Worldwide Marketing and Distribution Chairman Jeff Blake said in a statement. Both the previous Men in Black films are based on the comic book series by Lowell Cunningham, originally published by Aircel Comics. The first film was released in 1997 and grossed over $587 million worldwide against a $90 million budget. It is currently the 49th highest grossing film of all time. The second film released in 2002, too was a commercial success but not to the extent of the first. “Men In Black III” in 3D Official Release Date is a post from: Daily World Buzz
