Men in Black 3?

REPORT: The men in black are massing.

Sony Pictures is moving forward on "MIB 3," the third movie in its sci-comedy franchise.

"Tropic Thunder" writer Etan Cohen is penning the script, and Barry Sonnenfeld, who directed the first two films, is said to be attached to the new installment, though there is no formal deal or offer as yet.

The studio is eyeing a 2010 start date for the production.

The X factor remains Will Smith. The A-lister, who starred with Tommy Lee Jones in the first two "Men in Black" films, has not committed to the project, though in recent days the buzz in development circles has been that he is interested in returning. Smith does not have a pending movie project lined up.

Jones' involvement is uncertain.

Massive undertaking . . . ?

As you all know I'm a very busy guy. I've had little time to devote to this blog, but I managed to update a few things especially the archives, dead links, etc. Well, there seems to only be about 70 days left in the year. I do have some plans up my sleeves that will make my long nights longer . . .

There is a book I have been working on for The Critic Corner. A part of me wants to complete it by year's end.

Another part of me wants to do another contest but this time just for fun! If I do pull this off it'll be in time for the Christmas season.

I'm aiming to hold the 4th Annual Critic Corner Awards by January 1, 2010 . . . .

Lastly, there's a major revamp in store for my newsletter. I'm not going to get into any details yet but I will tease that's its the biggest announcement of the year.

Well, that's it for this announcement. Its a big one, I know. Can I effectively pull this off?

AFP: "Titanic" producer fearless over latest movie

REPORT: Hollywood producer Jon Landau said Friday he had no doubt that his latest feature with "Titanic" director James Cameron would live up to its billing as the year's most-anticipated film.

The 300-million-dollar "Avatar", packed with computer-generated imagery and 3-D effects, is the pair's first project together since scooping 11 Oscars with "Titanic" in 1998.

"Any fear about this film is long behind us," Landau said on the sidelines of the 14th Pusan International Film Festival in South Korea, after screening 30-minutes of selected scenes from the film.

"When we started it was a little like the people at NASA who first went to the moon," he said.

"When John Kennedy said they were going to put someone on the moon, they didn't really know how they were going to do it and when we started we had an idea but we had no idea how we were going to do it either."

Landau and Cameron have spent the past four-and-a-half years putting the new film together, promising a combination of computer-generated imagery, 3-D effects and live action, the likes of which the world has never seen.

The pair seem to be on the money -- just as they were with "Titanic", which despite doubts from initial test screenings and critics went on to gross close to two billion dollars worldwide, making it the all-time box office champion.

"Avatar" follows the exploits of paraplegic army veteran who is taken to another world where his genes are mixed with those of an alien creature -- the new being becoming the "avatar" of the film's title.

"The excitement for me is that we are finally going to be able to show something that we have been working on for four-and-a-half years. Because a film is nothing if no one sees it," said Landau.

"No single movie can revolutionise the movie industry but one film can be a step in the evolution of movies. What we think we are doing here is unlocking the door for more filmmakers to tell more stories."

"Avatar" is set for its worldwide release on December 18th.
