Men In Black 3 In the Works

Earlier this afternoon at this year's ShoWest along with confirmation on Spider-Man 4 and Ghostbusters 3 (which we all knew were in development), Sony officially announced plans were under-way for a third Men In Black film(!)

Sony President of Worldwide Distribution Rory Bruer said nothing else pertaining to the forthcoming "threequel" including whether they had already settled on a story and/or hired screenwriter(s), a release date and most importantly the participation of stars Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones and series-director Barry Sonnenfeld.

Wow. I won't lie - didn't see that coming at all. Sure the previous Men In Black installments made a fortune, but I assumed it'd be a cold day in Hell before we saw another one. I seem to recall reports back around 2001 that getting all three parties on-board cost Sony quiet a penny.

If this all works out, Sony could end up having one solid ass summer come 2011 with Spider-Man 4, Ghostbusters 3 and now Men In Black 3.
