Barry Sonnenfeld, the director of the first three Men In Black movies, has been speaking about a potential fourth movie in the series, and the chance of it happening. For a long time a fourth film has been in development in a potential crossover with the very fun 21 Jump Street films. Alice Through The Looking Glass helmer James Bobin has been attached to the project in the past, but all has gone quiet on the subject in the past few months.
Well, now Sonnenfeld has chimed in on the potentials on the film every happening when speaking to UK outlet Digital Spy. Here’s what he had to say:
“I wish there were a fourth film. I don’t think Will Smith nor I would be involved. But I love the franchise, because I developed it and created it. But I think the problem with making a fourth film, for a while they were talking about combining 21 Jump Street and Men in Black, [is] there are too many expensive players in the mix. There’s Steven Spielberg, there’s other producers, and I think the way to do it is to have new agents or something like that. Not have me, not have Will, not have Tommy (Lee Jones). Just have other adventures. I wish they would do it, I don’t know if they will.”
There are also apparently whispers of another sequel from producers Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald that could happen, the start of a potential new trilogy without Tommy Lee Jones or Will Smith. We’e a little unsure if that’s happening either, but we’ll keep you posted.
