Are
there really big Men in Black fans out there? People who have
been very patiently waiting on a third installment of the Will
Smith/Tommy Lee Jones series for the last decade? I don’t know, but I
sort of doubt it, so who the heck is being served by a Men in
Black 3?
Well,
Sony of course. As
Showbiz 411 points out in their
article where they reveal the third film will be in 3D (of course), Sony
has lost its 2011 summer tentpole now that Spider-Man 4 shit the bed. And so they’ve turned
to this film to plug the hole, and with Smith, Jones and director Barry
Sonnenfeld all willing to take a paycheck to go through the motions one
more time, the execs at Sony will be quite pleased.
And
it’ll probably make some money. Smith still has clout. While the series
is old and nobody gives a shit about it, I don’t think people hate it
either. But can it stand out? 2011 is looking like everything 2010’s
summer won’t be – packed full of excess. Pirates 4, Thor, Hangover 2,
maybe even Mission: Impossible 4. Will Smith remains a draw, but
that’s tough competition.
As for the plot: who cares! They don’t
even have a script yet, but since when has this stopped this franchise
(here’s a hint: it never has!). I’m sure we’ll get some loud, stupid,
popping into your face mess of overly CGed crap next summer and all of
you will go see it. It’s just the way of the world.

Now THAT is Cool News!
The way you chose to write this, I think for the first time, I won't feel bad when the Devin Trolls come…
"I'm sure we'll get some loud, stupid, popping into your face mess of overly CGed crap next summer and all of you will go see it." – Quick! Who can be first to post links to Devin's review of Tomb of the Dragon Emperor?
Dammitt with these pics! This pic gives me the creeps. I laughed at the naked Spock/Kirk pic and then clicked over to this. This is an example of Photoshop gone awry.
So I'm guessing Devin didn't get set visits to the previous MIB movies.
What no mention of Katzenberg's annoucement that ALL future Dreamworks pictures will be filmed in 3D(and not retro-fitted like COTT)? 3D is such a fad…
Well, I guess I'll see it as long as Smith gives me a "Aw Hell no." In all seriousness though, if I do see it, I'll see it in 2D. I reserve watching 3D movies for the rare movie that truly deserves it, like the upcoming Tron: Legacy. Hollywood isn't getting extra money out of me for anything less than a visionary movie, of which Men In Black 3D is not.
Very excited about this. Am I on pins and needles waiting? Not at all. But when time travel, Josh Brolin as young K and Sacha Baren Cohen or Jemaine Clement as the bad guy, what's not to love?
The only thing that would make it worth watching for me is if Rip Torn comes back. Is he out of jail yet?
Yeah, awful CG! They should go back to using clay puppets and horrible rear screen projection, back when effects looked REAL!
Damn, any chance for this to be screened outside of US?
Wow. 'All of YOU will go see it'. Just….wow.
You gotta admit, its brilliant. Everyone who sees the movie gets to wear a pair of ray ban style 3-d glasses to see the film. MARK MY WORDS. It will be apart of their marketing ploy.
So there's going to be The Hangover 2 – can they at least make that one funny?
You have to be the world's biggest turd to not find The Hangover funny. It's one of the best comedies of the last 10 years. One would have to be completely devoid of a sense of humour to not like that movie. I'm guessing sjs is Sam Strange. Which would explain everything. No-talent piece of shit, go die in a fire and give your parents the gift they've always wanted. You owe it to the world to stop wasting valuable oxygen.
