Internal communications
from Sony Pictures reveal the studio's ambitious
plan to do a crossover of their Jump Street and
Men in Black franchises.
The leaked emails between execs and talent,
including Jump Street stars and
, reveal that all involved are
eager to make it happen. The crossover would
also essentially "reinvigorate" the MiB franchise
after the lukewarm response to Men in Black 3.
reports that Jump Street
makers and are producing
the crossover movie and may also direct it. Sony
wants the film fast-tracked for a 2016 or 2017
release.
( UPDATE: The movie will likely not involve Will
Smith and Tommy Lee Jones.)
Via WSJ: "In an e-mail to (studio boss Amy
Pascal), Mr. Hill says 'jump street merging with
mib i think that’s clean and rad and powerful.' In
another e-mail, Hannah Minghella, a president of
production for Sony’s Columbia Pictures label,
says of the joint sequel, 'We don’t have a script
yet so we’ll be greenlighting the movie off the
concept and the talent involved.'”
The powers that be are also seeking the
participation of MiB exec producer
on the crossover/merging of the two
franchises.
