Tommy Lee Jones signs for MIB 3D
After months of speculation Tommy Lee Jones will star in Men In Black III, he will rejoin Will Smith and director Barry Sonnenfeld who is reportedly ready to roll on Men in Black 3D -- and don't act surprised about that D at the end -- just as soon as the script is good to go, the script is reported to be written by Etan Cohen who wrote the Jack Black hit Tropic Thunder.
Smith has been on board Sony’s threequel for some time, but Jones’ involvement was less clear, with Josh Brolin said to be in the running as a replacement, while the likes of Sacha Baron Cohen had also been in the casting frame. However, Jones has been concentrating on smaller dramas, like In The Electric Mist and The Company Men, for some time, so the chance to exercise those blockbuster muscles (and pay for a new conservatory) was probably too good to pass up.
