Production Halted On Men In Black 3 After Rumored Clash Between Will Smith And Producers

The highly anticipated third installment of the Men In Black franchise has been halted after Will Smith reportedly clashed with producers over the script.

The movie, which had already gone into pre-production in New York has been put on a two week hiatus after a fight between Smith, the director Barry Sonnenfeld and the producers, reports Page Six.

Although reps for Sony Pictures, the studio behind the film, claim the delay in filming (not to mention the push-back of the release date) is due to the "recent changes affecting New York State film incentives," apparently Smith's diva-like behavior is nothing new.

The actor allegedly shut down shooting on his wife's TNT drama (which he also produces) HawthoRNe because he was requesting so many changes that they had to change their production schedules just to accommodate him.

But it's been eight years since the last Men In Black. I think fans can wait a few more weeks if it means a better product!
