The Challenge of a ‘Men in Black’ Without Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones
Thursday morning, Sony released the first trailer for Men in Black: International, a combination of sequel, reboot, and spinoff to one of the studio’s most popular sci-fi franchises. Other than Emma Thompson’s Agent O (Rip Torn’s replacement in Men in Black 3) it’s a whole new roster of characters, led by Agents H and M, played by Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson respectively. But can you slap a crisp suit and a shiny pair of Ray-Bans on two new actors and expect them to exude the same chemistry as original stars Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones? Director Barry Sonnenfeld struck gold in 1997, pairing the young Smith as the wisecracking rookie Agent J alongside Jones’ straight-faced veteran of the alien-monitoring/hunting organization. It was a perfect Odd Couple setup that carried the story even more than the CGI spectacle. Looking at Men In Black's new leads, hopes are high. After all, both Hemsworth and Thompson were both good together in Taika … [Read more...] about The Challenge of a ‘Men in Black’ Without Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones

Tessa Thompson Thinks They Found A Great Reason To Reboot Men In Black
1 minute ago The first question that anybody asks when a movie reboot is announced is "Why?" Regarding the upcoming Men in Black reboot, Tessa Thompson has an answer. The actress is the first to agree that rebooting a franchise should only happen for a good reason, and she feels that putting a woman front and center, specifically a woman of color, in the franchise is a plenty good reason. Thompson spoke to CinemaBlend's own Mike Reyes recently while promoting her role in the upcoming Creed II and she told him... The name of the franchise, and the comic book that inspired it is, Men in Black and that was certainly the case in the original trilogy. Pretty much all of the characters of any real importance were dudes. Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones (and his younger iteration from Men in Black III played by Josh Brolin) were the main characters and we rarely saw agents that weren't men. There were a few exceptions of course. At the end of the original Men in Black Linda Fiorentino … [Read more...] about Tessa Thompson Thinks They Found A Great Reason To Reboot Men In Black
