26 May 2012

Men in Black III is out now worldwide and Hollywood heavyweight Tommy Lee Jones has spoken about reuniting on the big screen with Will Smith, saying that the Philadelphia born actor brightened the set of the time travel threequel.

Jones reunites with Smith as Agents K and J respectively in the time hopping sci-fi adventure directed by Barry Sonnenfeld and tells The AP that Smith has become one of his closest friends revealing "Will is more generous than anyone, and he spreads joy, he walks into a studio, walks onto a set, and... he makes certain that everybody's happy. He can't help himself."

Speaking of the success of the franchise, Jones cited the natural on-screen chemistry with Smith as the reason adding "Partnerships are good engines for narrative. If you think of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, the Cisco Kid and Pancho, the Lone Ranger and Tonto. On and on."

Oscar winner Jones has Hope Springs, Lincoln and Emperor in post production.
