When we first learned that Sony was moving ahead with a third Men in Black movie back in April, we speculated that the powers-that-be would be bringing on a new partner for Will Smith’s J. It looks like that could be what’s happening, as The Los Angeles Times’ Hero Complex Blog is reporting that Josh Brolin is being considered for a lead role.
Tropic Thunder scribe Etan Cohen was hired back in October to write the screenplay, and the news that casting choices are now being considered would suggest that it’s either nearing completion or done already. Barry Sonnenfeld is tentatively scheduled to make a return to the director’s chair, but it remains to be seen whether or not that will actually happen since he currently has a number of other projects in the pipeline (including a Tom Swift movie and The How-To Guide for Saving the World).
Hit the jump to see what role Brolin would play.

Joel and Ethan Coen’s True Grit is moving towards a very, very cool cast. We already know that Jeff Bridges will play the role originated by John Wayne, Rooster Cogburn. Cogburn is an aging U.S. Marshal who travels with another lawman and a 14 year-old girl in search of an outlaw that killed her father. While the original was a starring vehicle for Wayne, the Coens plan to adapt the book it was based on more faithfully, and tell the tale from the girl’s perspective.
Now Matt Damon and Josh Brolin are in talks to join the cast as well, setting the stage to make this one of the most anticipated projects of next year. Damon would play the fellow lawman, a Texas Ranger, while Brolin would play the killer. The girl has yet to be cast.

Carla Gugino, Connie Britton, Adrianne Palicki, Emmanuelle Chiriqui, Marley Shelton, Josh Brolin, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Sarah Clarke. That’s quite a list of names that Sebastian Gutierrez has rounded up for his indie sex comedy. The stellar cast paired with the warm reviews coming out of festivals are the main reasons I’ve been interested in this film, and now we have a trailer for it, too.
Centering around one crazy day in the lives of 8 women in Los Angeles (including a pregnant porn star, two call girls, a scorned psychiatrist, and a flight attendant with a crush on a famous passenger), Women in Trouble portends to be a clever and whimsical comedy packing plenty of feminine punch. Check out the trailer below, courtesy of Apple.
