Columbia Pictures has confirmed what's been rumoured heavily for the last few weeks, namely that it's pressing ahead with a third Men In Black movie.
The new film, which will inevitably be a 3D affair, will be arriving in the summer of 2012, and Will Smith has signed up to reprise his role as Agent Jay. Tommy Lee Jones hasn't yet signed on the dotted line to return as Agent Kay, but negotiations are ongoing to secure his return. The long-rumoured casting of Josh Brolin looks to be on the mark too, as he's reportedly in talks about playing a younger Agent Kay.
The script this time round is being written by Etan Cohen, who hopefully can overcome the lame retread of the original that Men In Black 2 ended up as. Cohen also penned Tropic Thunder, which does offer some promise.
The release date for the film has also been announced, too. For Men In Black 3 is set to do battle with Batman, Spider-Man, Wolverine and Star Trek in the summer of 2012. It's marked for release on May 25th of that year. Barry Sonnenfeld is the man charged, once more, with directing the film.
