Like the sound of the Tropic Thunder writer taking on this one. Not sure about Brolin stepping in to Tommy Lee Jones' boots. I mean they are kind of similar actors but at the end of the day Brolin is a hell of a lot younger than Jones. They'll need to old him up a bit. I do like the idea of Clement and Cohen to star though. All in all I do really like the sound of this film. I never thought I;d be on board for Men in Black 3 so far is sounds all good to me.

No...multiplied by a thousand.

Hes friggin terrible...personally I just consider any film a complete joke (and not in a good way)

AFAIK Agent J travels back in time where he needs a young Agent K's help, hence Brolin. For some reason I'm looking forward to this, it has a great cast and the first MIB is awesome.
