The Hollywood Reporter has released some details on the third Men In Black film. Tropic Thunder writer Etan Cohen will handle the script for the sci-fi comedy.
The studio is eyeing a 2010 start date and could go as soon as the spring.
The X-factor remains Will Smith.
The A-lister, who starred with Tommy Lee Jones in the first two, has not committed to the pic, though in recent days the buzz in development circles has been that he is now interested in returning. Smith does not currently have a go movie lined up. Tommy Lee Jones’ involvement is uncertain
If Will Smith passes on the project that would definitely hurt. Smith has really become one of the top actors in Hollywood, and having him attached to the film surely create a buzz. Both Men In Black films combined to make $1.1 billion worldwide.

No Will Smith; No Men in Black III. If they make it without him they are crazy! Same with Tommy Lee. Take the actors out and this is a below average movie, and certainly a bad sequel.
