ABOUT MEN IN BLACK(TM) 3
In Men in Black 3, Agents J and K are back... in time. J has seen some inexplicable
things in his 15 years with the Men in Black, but nothing, not even aliens, perplexes him
as much as his wry, reticent partner. But when K's life and the fate of the planet are put
at stake, Agent J will have to travel back in time to put things right. J discovers that
there are secrets to the universe that K never told him -- secrets that will reveal
themselves as he teams up with the young Agent K to save his partner, the agency, and the
future of humankind. Barry Sonnenfeld directs the film. The film's screenplay is written
by Etan Cohen, based on the Malibu Comic by Lowell Cunningham. Walter F. Parkes and Laurie
MacDonald produce, and Steven Spielberg and G. Mac Brown are the executive producers.
