Will Smith Pondering Return in ‘Men in Black III’
A few weeks ago we reported that casting was underway for Men in Black III, with Sacha Baron Cohen (Sweeney Todd, Bruno) and Jemaine Clement (“The Flight of the Conchords”) up for the role of a character named “Yaz”, and Josh Brolin still attached. Adding more fuel to the fire, it’s being reported that Will Smith could be returning to Columbia Pictures’ franchise. According to the reports, Smith is pondering which ship he’ll captain next, Men in Black III or 20th Century Fox’s fantasy-adventure The City That Sailed. News is expected very soon. Etan Cohen (Tropic Thunder, Igor, Idiocracy) wrote the screenplay. The 1997 Men in Black grossed nearly $600m worldwide, while its 2002 sequel took in $440m.
Vinegar Syndrome makes its first foray into original productions with Eight Eyes, a retro nightmare co-produced with Not the Funeral Home, the team behind Shudder’s “The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs.” First reported by Screen Daily, Shudder has picked up the film.
No word yet on a Shudder premiere date. Stay tuned for more.
Watch the previously released official trailer below, which nails that retro 1970s vibe.
In Eight Eyes, “A mysterious local crashes a couple’s vacation through the former Yugoslavia, pulling them deeper into his web of psychic rituals. A mysterious local crashes a couple’s vacation through the former Yugoslavia, pulling them deeper into his web of psychic rituals.”
Co-writer and director Austin Jennings (“The Last Drive-In with Job Bob Briggs”), working from an originating idea by Justin Martell, gets ambitious for his feature film debut.
“Photographed entirely on location in Serbia and Macedonia and on 16mm Kodak film, Eight Eyes draws from European genre cinema and American horror films of the 70s to create a nightmarish tableau of nostalgia twisted into berserk, new shapes. Set among the ruins of the former Yugoslavia, Eight Eyes was developed with significant contributions from the film’s local cast and crew to ensure an authentic portrayal of the cultural environment in which it is set – one rarely been documented on film,” Vinegar Syndrome says of their original production.
Emily Sweet (V/H/S/99), Brad Thomas, and Bruno Veljanovski star. Not the Funeral Home (Executive Producers Justin Martell and Matt Manjourides) produced the film.
