Even thought Men in Black II was a box office success, earning more than $440 million at the box office world wide, it received mostly poor reviews from the critics (Tomatometer 39%).

At the 25th annual Kids' Choice Awards, the slime runneth over. Host Will Smith opened the 25th annual Kids' Choice Awards promising a record amount of the show's trademark green gunk.

Deadline reports that Arash Amel was given the task of writing the screenplay for a new I Am Legend movie for Warner Bros.

Other familiar faces included Will Smith and Michael Douglas, Helen Mirren and Daniel Radcliffe, and "Glee" stars Matthew Morrison and Lea Michele.

When Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones don their shades for action in "Men in Black III," they'll be facing off against Jermaine Clement of "Flight of the Conchords," who has signed on to play "the villainous Yaz."

Not that Jerry Bruckheimer ever has any shortage of projects in development, but in a new interview with ComingSoon, he talked about the long-rumored "Bad Boys 3" -- and said the screenplay they're working on came from "an idea Will Smith gave us."
