CONCHORDS' Jemaine To Play Big Bad In MEN IN BLACK III!!
SPOILER ALERT !!
I am – Hercules!!
Some inspired casting!
Jemaine Clement (“Gentlemen Broncos,” “Dinner For Schmucks”), the hilariously low-key star of HBO’s “Flight of The Conchords,” has been cast as Yaz, a (presumably alien) villain in “Men In Black III.”
Aliens in the series have been played in earlier movies by Vincent D’Onofrio, Tony Shalhoub, Lara Flynn Boyle and Johnny Knoxville.
Josh Brolin (“Jonah Hex”) is the other newcomer to the franchise, which again reunites director Barry Sonnenfeld with Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith.
Etan Cohen ("Beavis & Butt-head," "King of the Hill," "Idiocracy," "Tropic Thunder") penned the screenplay this time around.
Brolin plays a younger version of Jones’ Agent K, so everybody’s guessing J will be going back in time.

Back in time. Pfft.

Brit. Brit? Brit like Brittany? Oh no...Brett.
-
or as hot as the Milf whatshername in the second one??? I doubt it.
-
Look out, Wil Smith! Brolin might steal the show in this one! He's the only reason I'm interested in this sequel.

YAZ contains drsp®, a different kind of hormone that for some may increase potassium too much. Therefore, you should not take YAZ if you have kidney, liver, or adrenal disease because this could cause serious heart and health problems. Tell your doctor if you are on daily long-term treatment for a chronic condition such as cardiovascular disease or chronic inflammatory disease. Women who take certain drugs (see below) should have their potassium levels checked in the first month of taking YAZ.
The most frequent (greater than 1%) side effects, which may or may not be related to YAZ, that were reported in all YAZ clinical trials included: upper respiratory infection, headache, breast pain, vaginal moniliasis, nausea, abdominal pain, dysmenorrhea, urinary tract infection, accidental injury, sinusitis, emotional lability, suspicious Papanicolaou smear, weight gain, depression, menstrual disorder, and asthenia.

THE MEN IN BLACK FRANCHISE MIRRORS GHOSTBUSTERS ALMOST EXACTLY..
by tehcreepythinman
Both were Produced/Distributed by Columbia Pictures. The first movie in each series was a classic of its kind. Both took five years to produce a sequel that ended up being a piss poor copy of the original. I have little doubt that MIB 3 will just be another piece of shit which is a shame since I FUCKING LOVE the first movie. The mistake they made was bringing back Tommy Lee Jones. Don't get me wrong, I loved him in part 1 but I wanted a true continuation with Smith and Fiorentino. Also, I had this idea that they should have made the sequel feel like a 70's cop thriller. You know, the French Connection with aliens. Even better would have been if they made the Teletubbies the main bad guys. Make them intergalactic drug dealers or some such shit. Get the fucking Chiodo Brothers to script the godamnn thing since Killer Klowns From Outer space is a fucking masterpiece.
-
relax, Hollywood, I got this.
-
cause the dude already looks like an alien
-
his rhymes are bottomless.
-
This is very cool. The world could use a bit more Kiwi cool. They've made some of the best music in the world for decades (Google Flying Nun) and it's high time NZ started getting more props than just looking like Hobbiton.
I'm kinda sorta maybe partly looking forward to this. Just as long as it isn't catered to Will Smith too much and actually has a plot worth a damn, that is. -
He is not funny. FOTC is not fucking funny. How could anyone think he is funny.
He's the Ricky Gervais of New Zealand. LAME. -
In the distant future, the distant future. The humans are dead.(the humans are dead)
-
He's 20yrs younger than TLJ, the first film was made in 1998. So why would he look so different with a 8yr gap? Bah, sounds wrong. I don't think he's K.
-
Jemaine is awesome.
-
Is it possible he's a son or a clone?
-
should call it aint it twenty-eight seconds too late news.
-
per chance? Yeah thought so. Don't lie! You secretly love all that shit. Admit it, you broad, dumb, mainstream comedy loving mother fucker! ...that's better. As you were.
-
MIB3 will have Jar Jar, Autobot Twins, and MacGruber and will make a billion dollars. just take my 12 bucks and spare me the pain.

SHOULD HAVE HIRED ROBERT PATTINSON...WITH A BEARD
by richard_gere_raped_my_gerbil
That would be comedy gold and you KNOW it.
-
he plays his son, i thought the yopunger version rumour was squashed months ago, apparently some people didn't get the memo
-
Brett, what eva his name is.... back to Red Dead Redemption.......... fuck all yo assesss!!!! Skinning all yo mothofuckas
-
This guy isn't very funny... especially by himself. Also he doesn't look like a man.
-
"Lady Arwen, we cannot delay."
-
Though I know people who just can't stand that movie (I'm not one of them).
-
Josh Brolin is great and all, but my God, if you're going to cast someone as Jones' son or younger self (whichever), Josh HARTNETT is the guy - it's fucking uncanny! Hartnett may be a complete wet blanket, but watch 30 Days of Night and try not to do a double-take every 5 seconds. They got the wrong damn Josh!
-
I don't care if he's got the same ugly mug as Tommy Lee Jones...the dude sucks compared to Brolin.
-
Show me one picture they look a like? I'll have what you are smoking, brother
-
Continuity is more important than the quality of the acting.
-
Their people are the ones kicked out of Australia by the original convicts for being too rowdy and violent. They actually ATE the original occupants of the island, then imported the Maori to keep things presentable for when the bleeding hearts drop by to photograph their mountains. Their national anthem is "Fuck Martinez" by The 2 Live Crew, and their flag is just the Australian one with bloody ninja throwing stars forming the Southern Cross.
It's about time Hollywood caught on to where all the trouble in that hemisphere's coming from... -
Seriously; fucking die if you don't like FOTC. Fucking morons. Have fun with Larry the Cable Guy and Dane Cook you drooling idiots.
-
Good for Jemaine! Brett is the one the girls like but Jemaine is the breakout funny one. I seriously hope the Conchords take a year or two off and write some good songs for a feature film version/continuation of the show. Either way their still more equally matched (and sorry to say) better musicians than The D, whom I love but still FoTC are awesome.

Didn't you guys just report this movie wasn't happening?
by pop_aristocrat
-
I hate Flight of the Conchords. You're seriously wishing death on me?!
-
Just doing the inane - HE LOOKS LIKE (generally insert superhero here) so he MUST BE the character Talkbacker thing. Already said Hartnett's got no personality and Brolin is great - I actually think it's a mark of a good actor that I tend to forget what he looks like - "character actor" should be a redundant term.
But TBer noname, like I said, watch 30 Days. It's pretty amazing, and it's not just the sheriff uniform. Google is your friend too - "josh hartnett tommy lee jones".
On second thoughts, don't watch it. That wannabe no-talent Melissa I-look-like-any-other-interchangeable-blonde-actress George will drive you crazy. There were no other blonde actors with personality at the time? Or maybe they didn't want to out-personality Hartnett... -
No, not really. It's what I like to call an exaggeration. But I AM wishing death on you now, however.
-
seriously, if you're looking forward to this movie then you have issues that clearly need to be dealt with...
-
...but can we stop using "big bad"? It's a fucking antagonist. Also, MIB is a terrible franchise where great talents goes to collect a paycheck.
-
That was for food and necessary items!
-
Ha ha. Good point.
Ain't it cool news GOTTA EAT! -
... As a younger Tommy Lee when Tommy Lee has the same ( see Love Story for proof) for the last 3, or more, decades?
-
May 19, 2010 7:14:55 AM CDT
Etan Cohen is writing? I might give this consideration...
by shut the fuck up donny
-
too many dicks :D
Just kidding he's got the face for it i for one love FOTC and can't wait to see both of them in different roles.
-
As Figwit: http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l0f741YTkg1qbvotyo1_400.jpg
(delete the spaces e...t...c) -
Nice casting idea.
-
He's superbly funny in FOTC and he'll be funny on his own. And I second the motion for him to play Jagger in some capacity. Maybe Josh Brolin could play Keith. He seems to be in full-on overexposure mode these days, so why not?
-
BUT, sometimes weird, unexpected casting choices turn out to mean we're getting something different and original and turn out to be inspired choices. But only sometimes. It could also just be a bad movie.
-
I love FoTC! But i just don't see him being able to pull off Jagger?????
-
They couldn't get Anthony Hopkins or Clint Eastwood for the villian role in the third installment of a decade old sci-fi family comedy? Who knew?
-
85% of the posts on the talkbacks are completely pointless and have nothing to add to the shite, specifically those which attempt to be humorous and biting but come off as humourless and spiteful.
-
Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of Jemaine Clement.
But I think one of the main reasons that MIB2 failed was because the villains were played for laughs instead of being scary.
In MIB1, D'Onofrio is strange, and bizarre, but not really comedic, and the IDEA behind his character is pretty damned creepy. That's one of the things that made it work so well.
It's a similar argument regarding the difference between Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II. In Ghostbusters, the villains weren't funny. Even Lewis took a turn towards the dark side once he'd been possessed by the Keymaster. The comedy came from the actions of the protagonists, not the antagonists.
In GB2, Peter McNichol's villain character was a buffoon, and Vigo wasn't sinister at all. So the whole horror/comedy formula fell flat.
Even The Real Ghostbusters tried to follow the correct formula by rarely making the villains goofy. Hell, in one episode the villain is Cthulu for cryin' out loud!
I would accept Jemaine as one of the protagonists, but not as a villain.
The core comedic elements for an MIB story should come from the fact that bizarre and sometimes dangerous aliens walk amongst us, and the goofy, silly humans are too often ill-equipped to manage the situation.
It should be about making fun of human foibles, not just putting silly aliens on the screen. -
Since he IS the Man in Black. Heh. Throw Titus Welliver in there too... hell, make them a team of grizzled Agents that compete with J and K in this movie!
-
For some reason I see him as a Hill Street beat cop...
-
The scariest villains of the past 40 years are almost certainly the Stone Angels, and they're also the cheapest to produce. The viewer never sees them MOVE! The danger and horror is 100% IMPLIED!
If MIB3 could create something similar, it would be a big win.
I also think back to The Fifth Element, where the BIG baddie was just a ball of energy at the far end of the galaxy, and yet it was the most sinister character in the movie.
Alien/supernatural villians should be mostly unseen. It's the fact that you're never sure what they're up to that makes them villainous. Like a secret society, or the Oval Office... -
You all know it as well as I. GB2 is worth it for a few scenes alone like when they go into the sewers, the slime in the bath, Peter MacNicol's performance etc.. All fantastic. It's just not as good as the first, that's all. MIB3 would have to big the biggest pile of shit in existence not to beat MIB2.
-
Seriously? A debate over the choice, for me it boils down to one thing. Josh Brolin better have some serious acne scars on his face. I meet Jones in person during the Batman Robin release. The scar in the bridge of his nose looks like someone took some sandpaper to it. Probably a botched chemical peel. Not that there is anything wrong with acne scars on a mans face. Most of my favorite actors have acne scars on their faces. I'm just saying Brolins face is too nice. So scar it up a bit if he's a younger K.
-
I miss FOTC.
-
..Eagle vs. Shark was fucked up... in a good way.... how many people on here do you even think saw that? in the states? movie was a trip, i liked it.
-
it took a while before they confirmed Jones so i wouldnt be surprised to see him die early in the movie and then J goes back in time to recruit the younger version because he's crucial or something.
-
Cos keepin my wife and kid working is expensive
-
It won't make him the household name he deserves to be, but it will be the forever answer to "who's that again?" "Oh yeah, he's the villain from MIB 3 AND he's a fucking brilliant comedian-musician." Definitely more comic potential than Donna from Twin Peaks.
-
Here's hoping Jemaine sports a bowl cut and carries an air compressor. Then he and Will Smith can rap about it in the tie-in video.
-
It would probably less disappointing that the ending for the otherwise excellent No Country for Old Men.
-
Love Flight of the Conchords, don't give a shit about MIB3, well I didn't until now... Now I'm kind of curious.
-
..........................what?..............
-
STILL DON'T!
-
also....No Ghostbusters3 news? nothing at all?
-
Because 85% of the comments here do in fact add to the "shite". :) But, as you correctly point out, really add nothing to the discussion at all. So thanks for pointing out both things at the same time, you're right on both counts!
-
Where Tommy Lee Jones has to work with his young self in the past or future.
-
then cast that kid from Role Models as a young foul mouthed Will Smith.
-
The main antagonist is named Yaz? Are they taking elements from Solomon's draft for the original film before they had Koepp come in as script doctor?
-
I'd watch that kid read a phone book.
-
I bet he'll be terrific in this.
-
Was it me or was Laura Flynn Boyle hottness in MIB2? Hated the movie but even with her nascent anorexia, she still managed to look pretty good? Granted, she's nothing compared to the sublime hottness of Linda Fiorentino but I digress.Jemaine would be wasted in MIB3 but with Brolin along, maybe there's some potential...
-
This is kinda cool news!!
"Have a taste of your own dick medicine.'
That is the worlds funniest line ever!!
Can a brother get a season 3 HBO?? -
my cousin are the other ones. "Carol Brown" should've gotten heavy rotation on the radio. "I thought I told you to shuh-uh-u-t uh-up." Pure genius, and the Tough Bretts too.
-
Have yet to buy the second season but have been hooked since seeing the first episode on Super Deluxe a couple of years ago. Funny stuff.
-
Already been announced. They didn't really even want to do season 2. In a somewhat ironic twist considering the current line of conversation, despite my name, I'm actually white.
-
Wait... Men in black III?
Concords fan is sad. -
Although I'm definitely more the Huxtable type on the blackness scale.
-
Its use is only appropriate in a movie if there are multiple enemies.
-
In Space
-
"Go fuck yourself Brett!"
-
I'm the motherflipper.
-
Up in this BITCH!!
Let's get some shirts pressed up!! -
"You Honkey MuthaFucka!!"
R.I.P. Rudy Ray Moore. -
Awesome music. The 'thinking mans' Tenacious D, or even 'The Mighty Boosh...minus the acid.'
I would love to see the Conchords, the D, and the Boosh all play an epic show together. I'd trip balls and laugh my ass off. The casting of Jemaine is pretty interesting, I'll check the movie out, if only to see a Conchord play another kind of alien. Ya know, other than the illegal kind. (Or animated, if anyone watches Drinky Crow) -
FOTC is the SHIT! I could just watch the David Bowie episode on repeat all day long and laugh my ass off! I'm down for another MIB too, especially if Jemaine is in it!

Does the space cold do funny things to your nipples, making them
by hoisin
Do you use your pointy nipples as telescopic antennae transmitting data back to Earth?
-
Once again, a reminder that while Flight of the Conchords sucks, Peep Show does not and you should spend your time watching it instead.
-
...must appear in this one also for this to be a true MIB movie.
