Why oh why would Columbia Pictures go ahead with a third Men in Black film? Did they not see Men in Black II?!
Yes, Columbia Pictures are moving forward with a third installment in their Men in Black series. The studio have signed “Tropic Thunder” writer Etan Cohen to pen Men in Black 3 and while there are currently no deals in place ensuring the return of Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones it is being assumed that the pair will be back.
Of all the studios it does seem that Columbia are the ones struggling for a lucrative franchise at present, with the exception of Spider-Man, the studio are heavily reliant on reviving old properties such as Ghostbusters and now MIB.
According to Variety the studio are remaining tight lipped on the direction that Men In Black 3 will take, however I doubt it will be long before the rumours start flying…

I must have wiped Men in Black II from my mind as I can’t remember a single thing about it other than I was seriously disappointed. It does seem a bit like clutching at straws to make a third movie and it can only work if Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones sign on and they come up with something refreshingly new for the storyline rather than retreading old ground.
