Men in Black - Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones

Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones could be back as the Men In Black if a third movie in the series get the green light. Variety reports that Columbia Pictures is looking to writer Etan Cohen to write a sequel to 1997′s Men In Black and 2002′s follow-up Men In Black 2.

It it goes ahead, it’s thought Will and Tommy Lee would don the black suits and shades again and reprise the roles of Agent J and Agent K, who keep an eye on aliens in New York.

The first film, released in 1997, grossed over $587 million worldwide against a $90 million budget. It is currently the 49th highest grossing film of all time and Columbia’s second highest earner, topped only by “Spider-Man.” Its 2002 sequel, “Men in Black II,” brought in an equally impressive $441 million.

The films follow the adventures of a pair of alien immigration officers who police and monitor the extra-terrestrials who make their home on Earth.
