This is just one of those franchises that keeps printing money. I couldn’t understand why they made a MIB 3 until I saw that it made over $624 Million worldwide… So, now that a 4th one is on the way, my surprise is minimal.

Sony is no doubt cashing in on the success of 2012′s “Men in Black 3,” which scored a worldwide box office gross of over $624 million — a series best after the $441 million take of 2002′s “Men in Black II” and the $589 million take of 1997′s “Men in Black.” However, a “Men in Black” film is never an easy — or inexpensive — project to take on, as there are extensive back end participation deals with Smith, director Barry Sonnenfeld and executive producer Steven Spielberg.
Oren Uziel will take on writing duties on “Men in Black 4″ after he finishes his polish job on the script for “21 Jump Street 2,” which was originally written by Jonah Hill and Michael Bacall. Sony’s keeping the plot details undercover but presumably we’ll be seeing Schmidt (Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) on some college-based assignment rather than high school this time around. Phil Lord and Chris Miller are back as directors and Sony has already set a release date of June 6, 2014.
No projected release date for “Men in Black 4″ has been announced, though the producers better not take ten years again if they want Tommy Lee Jones to star in it.
