James Bobin Appointed At The Helm Of Sony’s MIB 23

 

Remember Sony’s planned Men in Black and Jump Street crossover movie, Well, it’s starting to make some serious headway in its path to the big screen. Late last month, it was reported that the event film had nabbed an official title MIB 23, and logo, and now word has It hat Sony has appointed James Bobin to direct.

Bobin, who helmed the most recent Muppets movies before taking point on Disney’s Alice Through the Looking Glass, also elaborated on the concept fuelling the franchise crossover – even if it’s still very much in the early stages for now. He said “Yes, it’s very early stages, obviously but I’ve always loved the ‘Men in Black’ world. Channing and Jonah in ’21 Jump Street’ are just so funny. Those guys and their world makes me laugh every time I think about it. That’s always a good sign for a film”

Sony’s MIB 23 is officially coming together, slowly but surely. Indeed when you factor in how successful both Jump Street movies prove to be the studio’s crossover is perhaps more beneficial for the dormant Men in Black series, which struggled to make much of a dent upon its return in 2012 with MIB 3.
Agents K and J will join forces with two of the worst and subsequently hilarious undercover cops in the business when Sony’s MIB 23 kicks into gear.
