'Men in Black 3' in 3D and 'Bad Boys 3' Inanity : Director Barry Sonnenfeld has reportedly said both Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones have signed on to star in Men in Black 3 and that it will be shown in 3D. Also, Martin Lawrence said talks of Bad Boys 3 are happening and added, "Any time you can get [Will Smith] to come out and talk about doing a third installment of a hot movie like Bad Boys, you have to take notice. I met with Michael Bay, and he said he's on board too - so it's real."
Lawrence said, "I got Big Willie to come down and see me about the movie. I felt special. We're just waiting on Jerry Bruckheimer to let us know when it's really real." [Showbiz 411 and MTV]

George Mallory may have never come down from Mt. Everest (spoiler alert) but his attempts have gone down into legend as mountaineers have researched and debated whether or not he truly reached the summit. Even the discovery of his body in 1999 didn't put the questions to rest, and now the hunt continues for his Kodak camera to settle the summit question once and for all.
But Hollywood will undoubtedly take a side, as Variety reports that Mallory and his fateful climb are getting the big-screen treatment. Julia Roberts' Red Om Productions and Kevin Townsend's Science + Fiction are producing, and Shekhar Kapur has claimed the director's chair. Townsend, Matthew Faulk and Mark Skeet penned the script.
The film will begin in England, post World War I, and follow Mallory's determination to conquer Everest and "the toll it takes on his marriage as the mountain becomes his obsession." I don't...
