Barry Sonnenfeld claims Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones are back for Men in Black 3D

In a recent interview, Barry Sonnenfeld let it slip that Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones are definitely coming back for MEN IN BLACK 3D. We knew last year that another sequel was in the works, but this is the first we’ve heard that both stars are “officially” on board. Sometimes, a director or producer will be in a casual conversation and will say something as fact that is actually far from fact. I’m not saying that’s what happened here, I’m just saying that it has been known to happen. Although I think we can bank on another MIB movie, I find it hard to believe that the two main stars have signed on to the sequel and Sonnenfeld “announce” it with such little fanfare. That’s something that Sony would make a bigger deal out of.

So is this good news? Personally, I thought the first one was overrated and the second was completely unnecessary. That said, the movies have their audience and I’m sure with the involvement with Mr. Smith and Mr. Jones, it will be a huge success.
