Men in Black 3 is casting up. I’m told that Emma Thompson will be taking a lead role of Oh, the head of MIB. She’ll join Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones and Josh Brolin in the Barry Sonnenfeld-directed film for Sony Pictures Entertainment. She’s negotiating. Principal photography begins in mid-November.


Is this because Rip Torn went off the deep end? A 30 Rock like response, where they will handle his character’s exit off-screen?
Team Nicole David (once again)
would be nice to see linda fiorentino again.
All Rip Torn did is try to rob a bank. Couldn’t they have just done what Sony’s done in the past and fire some underling and make him a Sr. Vice-President of Marketing?
Garry Shandling told Howard Stern that Rip Torn apparently DOES live across the street from a bank in Connecticut, and that even the bank manager said, “He was drunk and confused and thought he was going home.”
Nanny McPhee in MIB? could be worse I guess, like Shia LaBeouf doing it
Nanny McPhee? you must be a studio exec who has no clue. none. nada.
Really John Really?
I remember watching Emma Thompson (along with Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie and even Robbie Coltrane) on the BBC comedy show ‘The Young Ones’ from 1982? you remember that one John? no idea do you? none. nada.
This is going to suck. I’m calling it now. No Rip Torn, and from what I’ve heard or read, TLJ is not in the movie very long.
Of course it’s going to suck. It’s Men in Black III.
OMG-what a genius piece of casting. She is always great and will be great in this role. Her sense of comedy will be a perfect match with Sonnenfeld’s unique style of camera work and direction. Wonder who had their legs up in the air and through that name out. So totally unexpected and out of the blue…must have been the feminine side of production. Haven’t heard much about the story line. Glad they are keeping close to the vest. With so much time between now and when the movie is released, I dont want to know boo about it before I sit in my seat with fresh popcorn.
OMG – It’s David Manning!
Oppps wrong again, she was absolutely terrible and that was due to mis-casting and Miss-Thompson
Wasn’t she going on some year long acting break? Not at the expense of a huge payday I guess.
Emma Thompson = A TOTAL CLASS ACT
I guess Rip Torn’s not going to be in it..and you can take that to the bank!
Emma “Audrey-Hepburn-couldn’t-act” Thompson?
Why make this movie and why hasn’t a big D been tacked on at the end of the title? Emma Thompson must need a payday. This is going to suck as bad a MIB2 did.
Oh Emma…. where is thy career? sniff
