It’s been three years since Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones put on those black suits and fought aliens. Producers Walker Parkes and Laurie MacDonald confirmed to THR that a new film is in the works, but that neither Will Smith or Tommy Lee Jones will be involved in the sequel. Seriously? Jones and Smith are what made those movies great. I should mention that there won’t be just one new ‘Men in Black’ film, there will be three. Right now the film is in early preproduction. ‘Men in Black 4″ is being penned by ’22 Jumps Street’ writer Oren Uziel and Lowell Cunningham, who wrote the three original ‘Men in Black’ movies. Cunningham’s involvement in the part 4 makes me have a little more hopeful. The big question is, can the movies make it without Smith and Jones ?

Kansas Governor Sam Brownback wants residents of the state to be prepared for a zombie attack. Brownback has announced that he will sign a proclamation today (9/30) designating October as “Zombie Awareness Month”. No, this is not a joke. The Governor’s reasoning behind “Zombie Awareness Month” is that if people are prepared for zombies they’re pretty much prepared for any disaster. If you think about it, it’s a clever idea to use the popularity of the zombie genre to get people prepared for real disasters. In a statement Brownback said “If you’re prepared for zombies, you’re prepared for anything.” He continued “Although an actual zombie apocalypse will never happen, the preparation for such an event is the same as for any disaster: make a disaster kit, have a plan and practice it.” The state emergency planning website will offer “preparedness challenges” to help people prepare, like lists of supplies, plans and will offer challenges through social media.
