MIB2 gets Michael Jackson

Let fly with all the type-casting jokes you want, but it seems Barry Sonnenfeld has cast pop singer Michael Jackson for a cameo in MEN IN BLACK 2, and he's not having the famously odd recording legend play an alien.

"Michael really wanted to be in the movie so he called me up. I knew Michael from when I was casting for ADDAMS FAMILY VALUES," Sonnenfeld told the Calgary Sun, revealing his decision. He also revealed the rough plot for the film.

"We bring Tommy Lee back because something that happened 25 years earlier is threatening Earth. Will (Smith) has to get Tommy's memory back... When he finally does, you have the dynamic of two people who both think they're in charge because it's five years later and Will has advanced."
