Sacha Baron Cohen And Jemaine Clement Up For Men In Black 3?

Some potential casting news for the long rumored, little heard about MIB threequel...

Apparently Colombia Pictures are gearing up to get moving on the third Men In Black movie and Bloody Disgusting have been informed by industry insiders that in addition to Josh Brolin (still unconfirmed) to star, they've shown strong interest in both Sacha Baron Cohen (Sweeney Todd, Bruno) and Jemaine Clement ("The Flight of the Conchords") for a character named "Yaz". Etan Cohen (Tropic Thunder, Igor, Idiocracy) wrote the screenplay and shooting was originally rumored to begin this spring. No official word yet on whether Will Smith or Tommy Lee Jones will also return..but its expected.



If you have no idea who Cohen and Clement are, Cohen was Bruno and Borat, and Clement is part of the pretty damn funny musical comedy team, Flight Of The Conchords.

Personally I loved the first movie. It nailed that perfect balance or comedy, sci-fi and action that so many movies miss the mark with. The second one had its moments but pretty much..sucked! Hopefully MIB 3 will hit the mark again.

The 1st was definitely better than the 2nd. But Sasha is funny (with the exception of Bruno which was just disturbing). I don't think I would watch this in the theater, but it might be worth checking out on DVD. If it even happens that is ...

1st was a classic, 2nd was okay. Rumor for the script is Agent J (Smith) goes back in time to help Agent K. They will have to do some serious CGI to smooth out Tommy Lee's face a little for a younger version

hmmmmm, I can see Sasha pulling this off. he have so many characters and good at creating personalities.

Althought I like Will and Tommy...
They can just make a new movie with sasha and someone else.

The fat kid from Super bad..shit even the skinny one would make a good fit.

Like sasha is a freshman agent, and for some reason is asigned a sophmore agent to help train while he is learning also.

I dont want to see a mimic of old school agent and new school agent.

I think Cohen is funny but only with his type of comedy. I dont see him using that in a MIB movie.

At least Cohen can act, but Clement sucks! This has potential to BLOW, and BLOW BIG TIME!

Loganoneil- no way man jemaine is great, I think he'll be 10 times funnier in this than sacha would. Unfortunately undating the series this late with a new cast in the recipe for disaster. But you're way off with clement sucking, maybe you just dont understand his humor lol, and if thats the case, well, ur missing out bud

@tea please don't post pictures og things that live in your house. It would be greatly appreciated.
MIB was good and MIB2 was fine as long as Will Smith is still in it.

I say give it to Sacha, I love him in all of his movies, even though he was a homosexual Austrian in his last one.

Saw Borat for free and was one of several who walked out , I guess my funny bone is to mature for his kind of humor ,the only movie I thought he was any good in was the Ricky bobby flick , Iam not sure a MIB3 would be good but hey with the crap out now who knows .
