Men in Black III (May 25, 2012)

• Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones are returning to star.  Barry Sonnenfeld is returning to direct.
• Josh Brolin will play the younger version of Tommy Lee Jones’ character, Agent K.
• Jemaine Clement is playing the villain, Yaz.  An early draft of the script describes him as “a nightmare biker who looks like Dennis Hopper and Satan”.
• The story has Yaz traveling back in time to kill K and Agent J has to go to 1969 and team up with a young K in order to stop Yaz from setting off a chain of events that will destroy the world in the future.

No one should really be surprised that Men in Black 3 is going to happen, and because it has the number 3 in the title, it will be contractually obligated to be in 3D.  Director Barry Sonnenfeld hit the blogs and spilled the news that Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones are set to return.  Other casting notes on the film include Josh Brolin, Sasha Baron Cohen and Jemaine Clement.  Above all this, we are all thinking the same thing…what will the new song from Will Smith sound like?!  No word yet on when filming will begin and or any plot details.  Let it be known that I never saw MIB II and I am told I didn’t miss much.  Was it that bad?

Today’s Links are brought to you by: TWIN PEAKS.  Created by David Lynch and Mark Frost the series was set in the fictional town of Twin Peaks in northeast Washington state and tells the story of FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper and his investigation of the murder of a popular local teenage schoolgirl, Laura Palmer.

Twin Peaks became one of 1990s’ top-rated shows, a critical success both nationally and internationally. Reflecting its devoted cult fan base, the series became a part of popular culture, referenced in other television shows, commercials, comic books, video games, films and song lyrics. In 2007 Twin Peaks was listed as one of Time magazine’s “100 Best TV Shows of All-TIME.”

Pictured to the left is the Twin Peaks: The Definitive Gold Box Edition DVD which I picked up last year after a small price drop.  Worth every penny just to see David Duchovny in drag.
