Columbia Pictures has greenlighted “Men in Black 3” in 3D and set a release date of May 25, 2012, according to Deadline New York’s Michael Fleming, who broke the story today.
Will Smith and director Barry Sonnenfeld will be back and negotiations are underway with Tommy Lee Jones and Josh Brolin.
Fleming reports that David Koepp and Etan Cohen are working on the script that takes the alien G-men back in time to 1969, which would be 32 years before the 1997 original.
