Sony Working on 'Men in Black 4'
Columbia Pictures (which is owned by Sony Pictures) President Doug Belgrad recently said what the future might hold for The Amazing Spider-Man 2, but he also provided some updates on the studio’s other major projects.
Unsurprisingly, Sony hopes they can keep the Men in Black franchise going for as long as possible. Although Men in Black 3 gives them a nice opening for a reboot (set the new movies in the 1960s/70s with Josh Brolin and Alice Eve as the protagonists), that model wouldn’t include Will Smith. However, Belgrad doesn’t make any mention of Smith when speaking to THR about the franchise’s future:
Quote:
We’re very pleased with the financial performance of Men in Black 3, and we believe it is an ongoing franchise. We’re going to do [another one], but we don’t have clarity yet on how it should be done.
How it should be done: Make sure the script is finished before you start shooting.
