Jemaine Clement’s talents sign on to be wasted in necessary Men in Black III
One half of the Flight of the Conchords will follow in the storied footsteps of Vincent D’Onofrio and Lara Flynn Boyle, starring as one of the main villains in next summer’s long, long overdue second sequel to the serviceable 1997 Big Willy Style vehicle Men in Black.
Clement joins the previously announced Josh Brolin as the only additions to the cast announced thus far. Of course, with Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones already back, the big question becomes will Rip Torn return as Zed, or will he accidentally give a drunken performance in a black suit and sunglasses at a similar-looking neighboring set.
Look forward to good actors in funny situations deflated by mediocre-to-bad writing Memorial Day 2012!

*BONUS*
In a surprise move, FotC already released their parody track and video for the new movie. Pretty impressive makeup work here. Too bad they took it a little bit too far with this one, something this absurd would never be used to market a $100 million movie, and if it was it certainly wouldn’t become popular.
