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.
