As we look towards the year ahead, we’ve got plenty of sequels and popcorn fare ahead of us. One of the biggest properties to his this year is the third film in the Men in Black franchise. Barry Sonnenfeld returns as director and the story finds Will Smith’s Agent J travelling back in time to save Tommy Lee Jones’ Agent K. In addition to Bill Hader as Andy Warhol, we get Josh Brolin playing a younger version of Jones’ character for much of the film. Judging by the trailer, he’s got the accent spot on. We’ve previously seen a few new images from the film, but now Sony has released the high-resolution versions so we can see Will Smith all shiny and nice.

Hit the jump to check out the images. The film also stars Alice Eve, Emma Thompson, and Jemaine Clement. Men in Black 3 opens in 3D on May 25th.

Tommy Lee Jones to Play General Douglas MacArthur in EMPEROR

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: January 17th, 2012 at 2:16 pm

The historical epic Emperor has gained some considerable dramatic weight with the addition of Tommy Lee Jones. Directed by Peter Webber (The Girl with the Pearl Earring), the film takes place during the days following the Japanese surrender at the end of World War II. Jones will play General Douglas MacArthur, the de facto ruler of Japan as Supreme Commander of the occupying forces. Matthew Fox stars as a leading Japanese expert on the staff of MacArthur who is tasked with deciding whether or not Emperor Hirohito should be tried and hanged as a war criminal.

It’s a fascinating story, and one that I’m even more excited to see told with the addition of Jones. Production is set to begin this month in New Zealand and Japan. Jones will next be seen in Men in Black 3 this May, and also stars in Great Hope Springs with Meryl Streep and Steve Carell. Hit the jump to read the full press release.

First Images from MEN IN BLACK 3 and ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: January 6th, 2012 at 6:07 am

The first images from Men in Black 3 and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter have gone online.  As you can see in the Men in Black 3 image, Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) and Agent J (Will Smith) have returned to mess up your Chinese restaurant dining experience.  As for Abraham Lincoln, you can see our 16th president (Benjamin Walker) trying to slay a vampire and missing.  I’m not sure why Fox chose to send out this image since the shot clearly works better in motion.

Hit the jump to check out the images.  Men in Black 3 opens May 25th and also stars Josh Brolin, Alice Eve, Emma Thompson, Johnny Knoxville, and Jemaine Clement.  Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter opens June 22nd and also stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Anthony Mackie, Dominic Cooper, Alan Tudyk, Jimmi Simpson, and Rufus Sewell.  Both movies are in 3D.

First Trailer for MEN IN BLACK 3

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: December 12th, 2011 at 6:02 am

The first trailer for Men in Black 3 has gone online.  The plot for the sequel involves J (Will Smith) going back in time to rescue K (Tommy Lee Jones).  If I didn’t know that the script was most likely a mess, I would be slightly excited after seeing this trailer.  Smith is back with his full-blown charisma and Josh Brolin is a pitch perfect young K.  Maybe there’s a chance that somehow the script worked itself out?  I’d certainly rather see a good MIB movie than a bad one.

As The Dark Knight Rises revved up their viral campaign earlier this week , it overshadowed other movies in the midst of their own marketing.

However, there are other properties that are vying for your attention and your dollars, such as Men in Black 3, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Darkest Hour and The Hunger Games.

Hi-Res Teaser Posters for MEN IN BLACK 3

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: November 29th, 2011 at 11:35 am

Last week, we brought you a couple photos of the Men in Black 3 teaser posters that were posted inside and outside movie theaters over Thanksgiving weekend.  Sony has now released hi-res versions of those posters online.  As far as eye-catching posters go, they’re not bad.  I’m still not interested in the movie, but that’s mostly because of the the re-writes, which were due to the boneheaded decision to start with an incomplete script.  We previously reported that the story revolved around Agent J (Will Smith) going back in time to save a young Agent K (Josh Brolin) and avert a world-ending disaster, but after all the script changes I’m not sure that’s still accurate.  Smith and Brolin are still in the movie (as are Tommy Lee Jones, Jemaine Clement, Alice Eve, Emma Thompson, Nicole Scherzinger, Rip Torn, and Johnny Knoxville), and I’m going to assume the time-travel element is still in place, but I’m not comfortable relying on that old logline.

First Teaser Poster for MEN IN BLACK 3 [UPDATED]

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: November 26th, 2011 at 3:35 pm

As a barrage of families are hitting the theaters for the holiday movie season, studios are drumming up awareness for their summer 2013 titles by unveiling promotional material at your local cineplex. Earlier today Matt spotted the first teaser poster for Sony’s Men in Black 3 and snapped a picture. The poster’s pretty effective (though slightly headache-inducing if you look too closely) as a bunch of “MIB³” logos make up Tommy Lee Jones’s face. Jones has a smaller role this time around though, as the film finds Will Smith traveling back in time to save a young Agent K (Josh Brolin) and avert a world-ending disaster.

Production on the film was plagued with troubles, going so far as to take a hiatus during filming to work on the script. We don’t yet know how things turned out, but this teaser poster likely means a trailer is coming our way soon so we should have a better idea of what to expect. Hit the jump to check out the poster. The film also stars Alice Eve, Emma Thompson, and Jemaine Clement. Men in Black 3 opens in 3D on May 25th, 2012. [Update: We've updated the article with another teaser poster, this time featuring Will Smith]

MEN IN BLACK III Will Open in IMAX 3D

by Jason Barr    Posted: September 12th, 2011 at 4:14 pm

Just because Men in Black III has experienced some bumps and bruises along the course of its production doesn’t mean that the MIB franchise isn’t still a Hollywood heavyweight. Released in 1997 and 2002 respectively, let us not forget that the first two installments in the franchise garnered more than a combined $1 billion at the worldwide box office against an approximate combined budget of $230 million. With this blockbuster status in mind, Sony Pictures Entertainment and IMAX Corporation apparently have similarly high hopes for the third installment as they have announced that Men in Black III will be digitally remastered and released in IMAX 3D when it hits theaters worldwide on May 25, 2012. According to Sony Pictures Releasing president Rory Bruer:

“Releasing a film in IMAX 3D signals an event release, and Men in Black III on Memorial Day weekend certainly qualifies in a big way. We couldn’t be more excited about how MIB III will look and sound in IMAX theatres.”

As a quick reminder, the film is directed by franchise mainstay Barry Sonnenfeld and stars Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin and Alice Eve. While plot details are not available in abundance, we do know that the film will feature a time-traveling element that sees Agent J (Smith) go back in time to save a young Agent K (Brolin) while averting a world-ending disaster.

International Poster for CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: June 30th, 2011 at 10:07 am

The international poster for Captain America: The First Avenger has gone online.  It’s not a bad poster.  You’ve got the shield, you’ve got the Howling Commandos, and you’ve got a giant Red Skull in the background and if the characters in the foreground simply turned around, they’d have a real shot at winning the war.

New Trailer for CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER

by Jason Barr    Posted: June 23rd, 2011 at 4:55 pm

The final theatrical trailer for Captain America: The First Avenger has landed online. While there is a lot to like about the cut, my favorite aspect is that it does a really nice job of setting up pre-super soldier Steve Rogers as someone who simply wants it more than other, more physically gifted, soldiers. I’m also looking forward to seeing the dynamic between Tommy Lee Jones’ Colonel Chester Phillips and Rogers play out in the pic as the “He’s still skinny” line you’ll hear in the trailer actually made me laugh out loud. Hit the jump to watch the trailer and, if you haven’t already, make sure you check out the fantastic new poster that was released earlier today.

Directed by Joe Johnston, the film stars Chris Evans, Hayley Atwell, Sebastian Stan, Stanley Tucci, Tommy Lee Jones, and Hugo Weaving. Captain America: The First Avenger opens in 3D on July 22, 2011.

Tommy Lee Jones is the latest actor to join the cast of Great Hope Springs. Directed by David Frankel, Meryl Streep and Steve Carell are poised to star in the film that centers on a longtime couple who decides to undergo intense marriage counseling. Jones will play Streep’s husband, while Carell is set to play a relationship guru. Mike Nichols was previously circling the project as his next directorial vehicle, but he subsequently dropped out.

The screenplay, written by Vanessa Taylor, landed on the Black List. Production on Great Hope Springs is set to start this August, with a 4^th quarter 2012 release date being eyed. Based on the premise, a holiday release a la It’s Complicated seems likely. Hit the jump to read the full press release, as well as the official synopsis.

Tommy Lee Jones, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, John Hawkes, James Spader and More in Talks to Join Spielberg’s LINCOLN

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: May 5th, 2011 at 4:17 pm

A slew of actors are now in negotiations to join the cast of Steven Spielberg’s long-in-gestation Abraham Lincoln biopic Lincoln. Daniel Day-Lewis is set to star as our nation’s 16^th president, with Sally Field attached to play his wife Mary Todd. Now, the names of those currently in negotiations to join the project are as follows (deep breath): Tommy Lee Jones, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, John Hawkes, James Spader, Hal Holbrook, Tim Blake Nelson, Bruce McGill (Fair Game), Joseph Cross (Milk), David Costabile (Breaking Bad), Byron Jennings (Julie & Julia), Dakin Matthews (True Grit), Boris McGiver (The Wire), Gloria Reuben (ER), Jeremy Strong (The Happening) and David Warshofsky (Taken). Now that’s one hell of a cast.

Jones will play Pennsylvanian Republican congressman Thaddeus Stevens, a strong supporter of abolishing slavery and a man crucial to the legislation that funded the Civil War. Gordon-Levitt is in talks to play Lincoln’s son, Robert Todd. Robert was Abraham’s eldest son and the only one to live past his teenage years. No word on who the other actors will be playing, but one assumes that Lincoln’s cabinet will make up a good deal of the roles. Hit the jump to read the full press release. Lincoln is set to start filming in Virginia this fall, with a 4^th-quarter 2012 release.

CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER Trailer

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: March 23rd, 2011 at 4:36 pm

Marvel has released the first trailer for Captain America: The First Avenger. As I said last month, all too often Hollywood disappoints me.  Whether it be who they choose to direct a project, or the way they decide to tell a story, I leave the theater wondering how a sure fire hit ended up such a disaster.  But every once in awhile they get it right.  Like they reached into my imagination and pulled out exactly what I was thinking.  Which brings me to director Joe Johnston’s Captain America: The First Avenger.

If you were nervous about the film, I think this trailer is going to make you very happy as everything just looks perfect.  Hit the jump to check it out and then tell me you’re not excited.  Captain America: The First Avenger stars Chris Evans, Hayley Atwell, Sebastian Stan, Stanley Tucci, Tommy Lee Jones, and Hugo Weaving.  It opens in 3D on July 22, 2011.
