Men In Black International (2019)
 

Steven Spielberg will executive produce what is being described as a world-building "spin-off" in the mold of Jurassic World, with Matt Holloway & Art Marcum (Iron Man I, Transformers: The Last Knight) writing the script. Film is scheduled for May 17th 2019.

Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith are "not expected" to reprise their roles.

Personally I would prefer to see a Men in Black 4 with the original main characters.

Saw this yesterday. Love the MIB series. I’m glad it will acknowledge the first 3.

Who wants to take bets it'll be Women in Black? :P

Well lets see

number 1 Its Sony

Number 2 its the trend of 2017 take a main property with guys and make them girls

I know Krutch meant it as a joke but there has already been major female characters in MIB. So if there’s another it’s nothing new here.

I will say I’m seeing some of the usual stupid comments like they should leave the series alone if it doesn’t include Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones.

It’s ridiculous because people seem to arbitrarily choose when it’s ok for a series to continue without the original characters.

MIB (similar to ghostbusters, not to open a can of worms but obviously it’s what came to our mind already) is a business/organization/department that deals with aliens. Surely there’s room to expand. Especially not being a reboot.

I still wanna see the crossover with Jump Street, damn it.

That was the only interesting idea. Men in Black 1 wasn't funny or even inherently good, highly overrated movie (though the concept is great)... and 2 was even worse. 3 was surprisingly good, but too little too late.

Probably the MiB people weren't willing to do any sort of hybrid MiB/Jump Street movie in hard R. And there'd really be no point in involving Jump Street without that. I really hope we get some kind of Jump Street 3, though, in spite of that.

Generally, I agree with the sentiment that comments like that are dumb and series can move forward with other characters or actors. But I do think MiB is a different case. I always thought the draw was Will Smith playing off Tommy Lee Jones. The MiB world is sort of interesting, but not necessarily enough to be the hook, in my opinion.

I guess we'll see how it plays out.

I still like the first film, but I remember the second just being alright and never seeing the third. Do people over-rate 1? It always seemed like a case where everyone thinks it's a good movie, but were never rabid about how it was amazing or anything.

People overrate 1 all the time. They look back at it like it's this genre-redefining comic masterpiece. I didn't get one chuckle out of the whole movie and I was "prime age" for this when it came out. The ending went out with a fizzle, too. It's just a series of misses, strange choices, and big special effects.

I think it's a little bit like "Bad Boys," where it's very white guys trying to write a lot of "funny black man" dialogue and jokes and all of it falling flat. In a different movie that doesn't matter so much, but here, very much the "heart" and crux of these movies is how funny and endearing we find Will Smith to be.

I liked the first movie, but I was a kid, by the time the second one came out, I liked the cartoon as well. MIIB I didn't like that much but by the time it came out I was in my early teens so I cared for other stuff but I remember how heavily it was marketed. By the time MIIIB came out it had been long enough that I wanted to re-watch the other films and this one to see how they held up. Still haven't done it. Funny how both the sequel and animated show retconned the girl being Smith's new partner.

What is 21 Jump Street? The films any good? Does it make sense to have a crossover?

I haven't watched MIB in years. All I remember from the first movie is the neuralyzer device.

That is funny. I'd forgotten about that.

They are hysterical to me, with a surprising amount of heart. Very well written. No, it doesn't make sense to have a crossover, but the ending/end credits montage of Jump Street 2 would have it make some semblance of sense.

I really, really love this song from MIB 3

But Ghostbusters isn't an organization. It's 4 guys. Unlike the IDW comics, the movies never went into them expanding past that. It's just 4 guys trying to make ends meet that team up whenever the world is going to hell.

MiB was established to be a huge organization with J and K being only 2 members among many. Having a few girls in there as long as you acknowledge the 3 movies and reference the characters (wasn't K considered a legend) then go for it.

I was always a little miffed they never brought Linda Fiorentino back after the first film.

I don't mind one way or the other if they make more movies, but it would be very nice to see a full release of the animated series on DVD like they did with The Real Ghostbusters when the Feig version was released.

The first movie's slightly overrated, but not by much. I'd say it's the Ghostbusters of the '90s. And the third one is surprisingly good as well. The second one has some good slapstick and Lara Flynn Boyle in her prime...but that's about it.

The movie goes by MIBI: Men In Black International

We still talkin' bout Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson? Or is this some other spinoff?

If you'd bother to check the link, you'll know it's the same film

Why bother myself when I can bother you? :tgrin:

Oh bother:lol:

I wasn't sure because we've got multiple threads for this thing now. And, well... it IS Sony. :trazz:

First official pic

Needs sunglasses. :tlol:

Looks like The Trailer is tommorow

Here it is:

Looks wack AF. Hard pass. Will & Tommy wouldn't make that look too much better, either.

Looks like they're having Hemsworth reprise his Ghostbusters character for this?

I am gonna see this I have a soft spot for the MIB movies. Also Tessa Thompson is in it.

I’m actually looking forward to this. I always feel like MiB is something that potentially could have an expansion universe akin to the big boys like Star Wars and evolve past just Lee and Smith, But I do feel like it may be too little to late for it.

I mean outside of the cartoon they had did MiB have anything to expand upon the films?



Outside of that? the trailer doesn’t really show much outside of what we associate with the MiB name so I can’t really say much of the film aside from “Yep, looks like man in blac

Possibly, but for me... they already had 3 movies and they never really wowed me. Maybe if they were actually "laugh out loud" funny. They suffer from a lot of... really, really white people writing jokey material for black guys. Like the Bad Boys movies (also not funny).

It ain't Smith and Jones, but I'll watch it. I dug it. :tcool:

.....nahhhh didn't really care for it. Pass for me.

I wonder how many old white male actors are out of work now that you can't cast any in leadership roles anymore without scrutiny :roll:

Looks okay

Looks awesome. I love the MIB movies. Anyone writing it off just because it’s not Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones can keep right on hating. It’s the perfect way to expand the franchise.

This is exactly the direction Ghostbusters should have gone. Same continuity but different team.

I hope this is a lot better then the trailer because it looks terrible.

I'm only watching because Tessa Thompson.

I can't wait until Thanos makes a cameo.

I'unno what it is - or isn't, as the case may be - but nothing about this series has ever popped me.

If nothing else, it's consistent, I guess.

To be honest, I only ever watched the first one and some of the second one. I was at least lucky enough to catch the Michael Jackson scene, so that was nice. Haha.

3 I never bothered with.

I've never sat and watched them, frankly, but I've seen huge chunks of all three when other people are watching them in an adjacent room, usually while I'm cooking.

So I've gotten the gist, but never laughed once. I gather that they're supposedly comedies - which I'm generally not a huge fan of, anyway - but they didn't come across as very funny. Mostly just Fresh Prince doing his usual "Oh, HELL naw!" gimmick, but played against Tommy Lee Jones "cranky old white guy" gimmick for maximum contrast. Might've been a funny SNL skit, once upon a time, but I'unno if we needed a whole movie, let alone three or four-ish. Premise seems thin.

That's kind of my problem with comedies in general; things that are funny for 3-5 minutes, usually aren't funny when stretched over 90 minutes. Physicists call it the "Adam Sandler Effect", in homage to the fact that his albums are brilliant but his movies are ungodly terrible. Same thing.
