Sony Pictures has quietly started development on a new chapter in the "Men in Black" franchise, tapping Oren Uziel ("The Kitchen Sink") to write "Men in Black 4," TheWrap has learned.
Additionally, Uziel has been hired to rewrite the studio's upcoming sequel to last year's hit comedy "21 Jump Street," an individual familiar with both projects told TheWrap.
Sony is already developing Uziel's monster mash-up movie "The Kitchen Sink," which was voted to the 2010 Black List. The studio now is placing a big bet on Uziel, who will finish writing the "21 Jump Street" sequel before moving on to "MIB 4," details of which are being kept under wraps.
