‘Men in Black International’ Trailer Captures Spirit of Original Films
Thor: Ragnarok co-stars Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson (who is also astounding in Creed) are re-teaming in next year’s reboot of the Men in Black franchise, being directed by F. Gary Gray.
Now, Bloody Disgusting has the first ever trailer for Men in Black International, described as being “global in scope.” A “fish out of water” spin is just what the franchise ordered and the trailer looks like it captures the spirit of the original. With that said, does this not look oddly similar to Sony’s Ghostbusters reboot?
In the film:
“Em tries to prove herself by joining the London MIB and will be paired with Agent H. The pair will become involved in a murder mystery that will lead to them on a global journey.”
Emma Thompson (Men in Black III) will reprise the role of Agent O. The cast also includes Liam Neeson, Rebecca Ferguson, Rafe Spall and Kumail Nanjiani.
Sony is set to release the new film on June 14, 2019.

Amblin Movie ‘Thursday Murder Club’ Sounds Like ‘Knives Out’ Meets ‘Cocoon’
Chris Columbus (Gremlins – writer, Home Alone – director) is headed back into the director’s chair for Thursday Murder Club, Amblin’s upcoming feature film adaptation of the same-titled novel written by Richard Osman. Variety first reported the news this morning.
It’s not a horror movie, mind you, but rather a star-studded murder-mystery. Think Rian Johnson’s Knives Out… only this particular murder-mystery is set in a retirement community!
Variety details, “The book, released in 2020, tells the story of four septuagenarian friends who live in a retirement community and solve cold cases for fun. When a shady property developer is found dead, the four find themselves in the middle of their first live crime.”
Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan and Ben Kingsley are “being eyed” to lead the cast!
Richard Osman’s 2020 novel was such a hit that it launched a franchise. Follow-up The Man Who Died Twice followed in 2021, with The Bullet That Missed coming along in 2022. And then there was The Last Devil to Die in 2023, with a fifth book in the series expected in 2025.
