'Men in Black III' and 'Ghostbusters III' in development at Sony
During a presentation at the movie industry's annual ShoWest convention in Las
Vegas on Wednesday, Sony distribution president Rory Bruer said that the studio
is going back for thirds on the Ghostbusters and Men in Black
franchises. Now, of course, the question on everyone's mind is: Who will be
starring in said monster-fighting movies? Sony isn't talking (Bruer's
announcement arrived almost in passing), but it is expected that Ivan Reitman,
Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, and Dan Aykroyd will return to be involved to some
degree on a followup to 1989's Ghostbusters II.
Meanwhile, Men in Black III is in even more of a nascent stage. Sony
won't comment on whether Will Smith will be involved in the project in any way,
either as an actor or producer.
