Back To Black For Smith And Jones
The Men in Black are back - movie bosses have signed up Tropic Thunder's screenwriter to draft a script for the third outing in the alien film franchise.
Writer Etan Cohen has been hired to pen the latest offering, and his work is expected to bring actors Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones back together, according to Variety.
The hugely successful series first hit the big screen in 1997, pulling in a huge $600 million at the box office. Its 2002 sequel, Men in Black II, brought in an equally impressive $441 million.
The films follows the adventures of a pair of alien immigration officers who police and monitor the extra-terrestrials who make their home on Earth.
