Men In Black III Mulled
Columbia Pictures is looking to re-team Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones in a third installment in its Men in Black film franchise, TV Guide Online reported. “The studio wants one,” producer Walter Parkes told the site. “We’re trying to figure out the auspices of it and what to do to freshen that franchise up a little bit.”
Men in Black II grossed about $190 million domestically, but Parkes doesn’t deny that the sequel was disappointing creatively. “It was a heartbreaking thing,” he said. “There were many disagreements among the different principals, and what came out was not a movie worthy of the franchise.”
Director Barry Sonnenfeld earlier told TV Guide Online that producers made him a nervous wreck during much of the sequel’s shoot. “[My health was] compromised by the fear and tension and anxiety that was put on me by everyone being nervous that the movie wasn’t going to make any money,” the director said. “I’ll never be OK as long as I live.”
Will Parkes look for a new director? “Oh, I’m not getting into that,” Parkes said with a wink. “That I don’t know.”

I would love to see a third installment. Actually, the second movie, although not as imaginative as the first, was not bad at all. It delivered laughs and entertainment, which, at the end of the day is all one needs! I’ve seen it quite a few times and it always delivers..
