News of the reboot of Men In Black comes courtesy of THR, who talked to producers Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald where they revealed that Sony has a reboot in the works. From the interview;
You produced Men in Black. Has there been talk of reviving that franchise with the new Sony regime?
Parkes: We’re in the middle of it. It’s very active.
Is Will Smith going to be part of it?
Parkes: Most likely no.
MacDonald: It will be reinvented as a trilogy.
Smith or no, it’s not clear whether this new trilogy will include the rumored crossover with Sony’s 21 Jump Street franchise, or if the three new films will stand apart from the spin-off feature. Will we see Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill involved in extraterrestrial hijinks? No clue, but that would be be a fun “jump the shark” moment, to be sure. The current state of studio films is all about cross-pollination. Putting 21 Jump Street and Men in Black in the same universe doesn’t seem that far-fetched if it translates to box office bucks.
