Will Josh Brolin star in 'Men in Black 3'?

Oscar-nominated actor Josh Brolin ("No Country for Old Men") could put on a black suit and join Columbia's upcoming "Men In Black 3" sequel, which is not yet greenlit but expected to open in 2011.

The Los Angeles Times says Brolin is being considered for a role, although details are unknown at this point. He could play an MIB agent working with Tommy Lee Jones' K. Or he could play a younger K.

Whatever his role will end up being, I like the idea of having Brolin in the third "Men in Black." No deals have been set, but Jones and Will Smith are expected to return as well. Barry Sonnenfeld may direct.

'Men in Black 3' now in development

I don't think this is a real surprise, right? Considering franchise after franchise is being revived or rebooted or whatever right now, it would look weird if we didn't hear back from the "Men in Black."

As Variety reports, Columbia Pictures is definitely moving ahead with "Men in Black 3," and the studio has hired Etan Cohen to write the script for the third installment in the popular (and funny) sci-fi series.

Cohen co-wrote Ben Stiller's hilarious war comedy "Tropic Thunder." His recent credits also include "Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa." He is also working on a "Sherlock Holmes" comedy and "Candy Land."

Universal to bring 'Candy Land' to big screen

Now that you've played all those Hasbro games, how about watching them on the big screen?

Universal is currently developing a movie version of "Candy Land," one of many of Hasbro's popular racing board games.

Etan Cohen, whose credits include "Tropic Thunder" and "Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa," is set to write the screenplay.

Directing the live-action film is Kevin Lima, the guy who also helmed 1999's "Tarzan," "102 Dalmatians" and "Enchanted."

I don't know much about this game, but from what I've read it involves some characters trying to find the lost king of Candy Land. Or something like that.

"Candy Land" is certainly not the only board game to come to the big screen. Last November, Ridley Scott announced he will direct a film version based on "Monopoly." "Battleship" and "Ouija" are also in development.

What do you do in Hollywood when original ideas run out? You adapt everything there is tp adapt, like it or not...
