As has been suspected since late 2009, the plot for MIB 3 is based around the evil villain “Boris” (played by Jemaine Clement) going back in time to 1969 to kill a young Agent K (Josh Brolin). When Agent J (Will Smith) gets wind of the plot he travels back in time using a secret time travel hub (rumor has it the secret hub is an Apple Food Mart) to team up with the young “K” to prevent the assassination and thus destroying the world in the future.

There have been issues in the Men in Black 3 script, which has triggered bringing in David Koepp to perform rewrites and major adjustments to the screenplay. One of the biggest issues with the screenplay is the whole time travel premise, and making it work without creating classic time travel/paradox errors.

Production took a 6 month break before enough of the screenplay was rewritten to begin production once again. Word has it that production started up again on Coney Island, which is supposed to house much of the 1969 portion of the movie. More reports and pictures have started to come out in the last two months as well for Men in Black 3 confirming continued production.

MIB 3 has the usual suspects back, including Will Smith as Agent J, (which by the way as hard as it is to believe. It is his first movie in over 3 years) Tommy Lee Jones as Agent K, Rip Torn as ZED. Men in Black 3 also has a nice mix of young hot stars added to the cast list as well. The most notable and talked about is Josh Brolin donning the role of young Agent K. Word has it that he does some awesome impersonations of Tommy Lee Jones.

Other popular cast members include Emma Thompson, Nicole Scherzinger, Alice Eve and Jemaine Clement. Emma Thompson plays Agent OH, while Alice Eve plays the young version of OH.

Nicole Scherzinger plays the villain Lilly as well as Agent J’s girlfriend. Jemaine Clement plays Boris who is the primary bad guy in MIB 3 With an all-around solid cast of veterans as well as hot newcomers- this promises to be a solid movie.

Men in Black 3 is produced by Executive producer Steven Spielberg, Brian Grazer, Laurie MacDonald and Walter F. Parkes. MIB 3 is written by Etan Cohen, David Koepp, and Jeff Nathanson.

Sony Pictures made the announcement on April 1, 2009 that Men in Black 3 was to be given a go. In Late 2009, it was reported that screenwriter, Etan Cohen was tagged to write the Men in Black III screenplay. After many creative issues with the script a second writer, David Koepp, was brought in to help rewrite portions of the movie to help in smoothing out some of the time travel issues. In September 2010 a third writer, Jeff Nathanson was hired to rewrite parts of the script. Jeff Nathanson, David Koepp and Executive Producer Steven Spielberg have worked together in the past.
In November 2010, principal photography began and continued until May 2011 in NYC. Filming broke in December 2010 and did not resume until late March 2011. Rumor was that filming was delayed due to issues with the MIB 3 script, but was denied stating that the filming was delayed to take advantage of expiring NY tax incentives and to film scenes in the spring. The 1st photos for Men in Black 3 seen in November 2010 featuring Will Smith, Emma Thompson, Tommy Lee Jones and Nicole Scherzinger on the set of the film. Men in Black III did resume production in March and is slated to wrap up in June 2011.
