Tropic Thunder’s Cohen Hired to Write Men in Black 3
Film School Rejects —
... According to THR’s Risky Business, Tropic Thunder and Idiocracy co-writer Etan Cohen has been hired to pen a script for the upcoming threequel. The THR report states that Cohen is already deep into his draft, which according to them signifies that Sony intends to continue the franchise’s top-tier status. And why wouldn’t they? The first two Men in Black films, quality aside, were major breadwinners in 1997 and 2002. And we can be sure that there’s plenty more story to be told in the world of ...

... remake.
MIB was a really fun movie that I enjoyed watching back in the day. The sequel was okay, definitely not as good as the first one. The two films combined made over one billion dollars. As for part three? I guess we’ll have to wait and see whose involved and how it turns out. I hope Barry Sonnenfeld comes back to direct, but he’s pretty busy with his TV stuff right now.
So what do you think about the Men in Black 3 news?

Men In Black III Gets The Tropic Thunder Treatment
Cinema Blend News —
Men In Black III Gets The Tropic Thunder Treatment After years of waiting Men in Black III is finally happening. Sony has hired Tropic Thunder writer Etan Cohen to work on a script which is, probably a good thing since Tropic Thunder was pretty funny. The Men in Black franchise could use more funny after that second movie which was, decidedly, not. Theres no denying though, that the first movie was good times. THR says Barry Sonenfeld, who directed the first movie, will probably be back. Unfortunately Sonenfeld also directed the first movie and, lets face it, he ...
MEN IN BLACK 3 is moving forward

... sure the studio will be throwing a lot of money their way. Actually, with Hollywood going reboot-crazy lately, I wouldn’t be surprised if they were replaced altogether in order to give the movie a fresher feel, which I think it needs after part 2.
Normally I frown on sequels, but the original movie and cartoon series that followed it still have a soft spot in my heart. Getting Etan Cohen to script the film is definitely a step in the right direction.

Columbia taps Tropic Thunder scribe Etan Cohen to pen a screenplay for a third Men in Black.
Back in September there was talk about sequels for two Will Smith blockbusters, Hancock and Bad Boys. But even before those announcements there was word that Columbia was going to greenlight a third Men in Black comedy.

... • It took them 5 years to make a sequel to Men in Black, and it was a monumental disaster of a movie. Now 7 years later, we're on the eve of another one. Etan Cohen (Tropic Thunder, Madagascar 2) is on the script for Men in Black III. As if the franchise being played out isn't enough of a deterrent; Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones, or even director Barry Sonnenfeld, are currently not officially signed on yet. Without those three (and all three, mind you), why the hell would you even bother? ...
