Tijdens een interview over zijn derde Men in Black-film, wierp regisseur Barry Sonnenfeld wat licht op hoe de franchise verder zou moeten gaan. Het lijkt erop dat dit zonder Will Smith en Tommy Lee Jones zal zijn.
The fantastic thing about Men in Black 3″ is that it totally closes out the trilogy, it answers questions that you didnt even know you should be asking, it leaves you emotionally warm and sad and happy, and it could also reboot the franchise. But I cant even begin to tell you how to interpret all of that. [Laughs] But I would say this: If your interpretation is that Men in Black 4″ will only star the worm guys and Frank the pug, you are wrong.
Jemaine delivers a totally villainous performance. If theres any comedy at all, its just through frustration. [Laughs] The great thing about Earth is that it can be a frustrating place for aliens. We dont think clearly, were not logical all the time. But Jemaine is not on board this movie for comic relief. His performance is really strong and really villainous. Think about it: If you had not seen the first Men in Black, and people had told you that Tommy lee Jones was funny, you wouldnt have believed it. This is the same thing no one is trying to be funny. I want my actors to be real. If its a funny situation, I want it to be funny. But I dont want anyone to play to the comedy. Let the audience find the comedy; I dont want to tell any [of the cast or crew] where it is. So, Jemaine does not deliver a comedic performance. While there are moments of humor that the audience will find funny, Jemaine himself is not being funny, if you get that.
