“Why so sour, Sarah?”

Why? Well, first, it looks like they spliced together sixty-odd different frames from the previous Men in Black movies in order to accomplish the completion of this trailer, so, good for you movie guys, on being industrious and efficient and using your budget well.

Second. IS THAT ADRIEN F-CKING BRODY at the :25 mark? IS IT? How did no one tell me that he was in this movie?! Probably because it wasn’t. And he isn’t. And now I’m even more biased against this film.

Third. It gets way better after :45, because there’s apparently a K – Tommy Lee Jones – impersonator ’round the compound, willing to spread secrets like spilled molasses in cheap cabinetry on a hot day, though everyone (aside from J – Will Smith – of course) thinks K’s been dead for 40 years or something. Original, right?

In all seriousness, though, I’m probably only being a grump of a grump today because it seems like it took the film execs so damn long to stop dragging their feet over this movie. Frankly, it doesn’t look awful, and I did love the other films in the series, so I’m probably going to see it. It’s got time-travel in it, so really, how bad could it be?

And now your life is complete. Thank Barry Sonnenfeld or your lucky stars or something.

Although Smith confirmed, like, years ago that he’d be willing to do a third installment of the Men in Black series, sources state that they had a hell of a time getting Tommy Lee Jones to commit a return to his recurring role, but no one’s really sure why.  Jones’ latest movies include In the Electric Mist (uh, didn’t see it), The Company Men (again, didn’t see it) and No Country For Old Men (which was great, but it was done in 2007).  You wouldn’t think he’d be so reticent  to recap his role as Agent Kay in a franchise that made almost a billion dollars in ticket sales between its two movies.

The movie’s set to release around the end of May, 2011.

Think this’ll do as well as the other two did in theaters, considering it’s been what, eight or nine years since the sequel was released?

Tommy Lee Jones is suing the producers of No Country for Old Men for more than $10M he claims he is owed.

The lawsuit against Paramount Pictures claims that Jones was promised “significant box-office bonuses” and other compensation depending on the success of the film, which went on to make more than $160 million. Tommy Lee claims he was not paid promised bonuses and had expenses wrongly deducted. The suit says he was paid a reduced upfront fee in joining the film, and that his contract had known errors not corrected before the movie was made.

It “bears all the credibility and seriousness of flying saucers from Mars or leprechauns. Or any manner of malicious, paranoid superstition. In other words, it’s bullshit. It’s a complete disaster. It’s an act of fascist madness.”
