Rumours have been circling about this one for a while, but it seems that the most bizarre crossover of the year MIB 23 – yes, the mixing of Men in Black and Jump Street – now has its director in James Bobin.
When talking to ComingSoon.com, the director of Alice Through The Looking Glass confirmed he was onboard for the project.
“Yes, it’s very early stages, obviously,” Bobin said, “but I’ve always loved the Men in Black world. Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill in 21 Jump Street are just so funny. Those guys and their world makes me laugh every time I think about it. That’s always a good sign for a film.”
Let’s just hope that Tatum, Hill, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones all return – or at least make some kind of appearance – for the mash-up. And let us know on Facebook how you think this one is going to work, because it blows our minds any time we think about it.

Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
