Men in Black: International may have brought Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson back together again, but even their chemistry wasn’t enough to bring the loose reboot, which has been widely panned by critics, summer blockbuster glory. Opening up with a disappointing $30 million domestically and $73 million internationally on a $110 million production budget, many are trying to make heads or tails of what happened.

It turns out there is plenty of finger-pointing to go around, and much of it is towards the creative differences between director F. Gary Gray and producer Walter Parkes. More on the report below.

Right out of the gate Sony has shown interest in bringing back Men in Black as a trilogy. The original film was a huge success, but it would be five years before Men in Black II was released, and another 10 years before Men in Black III would hit theaters.

It doesn’t seem like the studio will repeat the same process anytime soon, and have turned to married producers Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald to relaunch the franchise as a trilogy. But it doesn’t look like Will Smith will be returning in any sort of capacity, producing or otherwise. More on this story below.

According to the trades, Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald have secured their first title in their venture with Imagenation Abu Dhabi. The film will be titled Earthbound, and it is based on the book of the same name from author Richard Matheson.

Matheson is an author whose books have been turned into many popular movies over the years. Among his many works that were turned into films exists titles like The Incredible Shrinking Man, Somewhere in Time, Stir of Echoes, What Dreams May Come, and I Am Legend, which was also The Last Man on Earth and The Omega Man — all based on the books of Matheson. He even adapted some of the screenplays himself.
