The Avengers has so dominated the box office – and we’re looking at a holiday weekend – that it’s possible that Men in Black III might not put The Avengers into second place. It’s also inevitable by weekend’s end that Avengers will be over half a billion domestic. That said, it’s also possible that MIB3 could do a hundred over the four-day weekend. There are variables at play.
Will Smith might just be the biggest movie star there is. His TV show, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, made him a household name, and before his three-year hiatus he made a decade’s worth of blockbusters. Now, he’s back as Agent J in Men In Black 3. We recently got the chance to talk to Mr. Smith. He told us what he learned during his time away, why he chose to revisit the MIB franchise, and shared details about some of his future projects.
Check out our interview with Will Smith…
We’re heading toward the Memorial Day weekend, and though The Avengers is still setting records (and may continue to), Men in Black III is the big picture of that holiday weekend, which sells Will Smith‘s agent J losing his partner K (Tommy Lee Jones) and traveling back in time to work with a younger version of his partner (Josh Brolin). Check out the new featurette…
The summer season is a week away at this point, so it’s time to start making predictions about the biggest movies of the summer. These predictions are always going to be a just little off, but that’s the fun of making wildly inaccurate guesses months before we’ve even seen a film – sometimes you’re right. So here are the top ten films that are going to be trying to make more than $200 Million when they hit.

While we saw a trailer for the upcoming Men in Black III last December, it felt more like a teaser, seeing as how it was a quickie trailer for an incomplete film with a troubled production and, at the time, apparently no written ending. Now, we get a more polished trailer for the entirely unnecessary sequel, which finds Will Smith traveling back in time to save Tommy Lee Jones, whose younger self is portrayed by Josh Brolin. While there is plenty of Will Smith hamming it up, Brolin’s impression of Jones is moderately smirk-worth. Check it out after the jump.
Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones, and Josh Brolin…as Tommy Lee Jones? That’s the set up from the Men in Black 3 teaser trailer, one that seems to be there to refresh viewers on the world of the Men in Black. Though the rough outline of the plot has been known for a while, this gives a sense of what the film is about, with newcomer Emma Thompson telling the viewers that Jones’s K character has been dead for forty years. Check out the teaser…
One of the greatest books on film is easily Julie Salamon’s The Devil’s Candy, which chronicled every bad turn Brian De Palma’s adaptation of Bonfire of the Vanities took. At this point, one hopes there’s an author on set of Men in Black III, as there’s undoubtedly a great story to be told about its production. Having hired a new writer mid-shoot, and having delayed production again recently, the film took another hit when Alec Baldwin told Vulture Monday he had to drop out, but was moving on to the Adam Shankman-directed, Tom Cruise-starring musical Rock of Ages.
What the heck is going on with Sony’s Men in Black 3? The movie has experienced more than its fair share of problems over the past few months and things are getting worse. According to THR, the film began shooting last fall despite having an incomplete script and now that’s coming back to bite them in the butts!
Poor Men in Black III just can’t catch a break. The Sony production has been hit with a delay according to the Los Angeles Times. You might be asking yourself, what happened? The shoot had already begun last year and we saw our fair share of paparazzi photos from the set. It turns out that MIB3 has been on a nearly two month hiatus, which was supposed to end in February. Unfortunately, it’s been pushed back to March 28.
