In the sequel created by the original team, the positions of Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith are completely reversed. After Tommy retires, Will has emerged as an elite among the men in black. After Tommy returns to the team, Will must accept Tommy again, because in Tommy's eyes, Will will always be a child. Although the sequel inherited the first one, it uses a completely different technique.
The first "Men in Black" ends with K's retirement, and this retirement means clearing the relevant memories in the brain. The first problem that needs to be solved in the sequel is how to get K back to the men in black.
In the eyes of Sonanfeld, many great comedy groups are composed of static and moving, and Jones and Smith are like this. The biggest challenge in preparing for the sequel is to get the two actors together as soon as possible, because the comic effect between them is a key factor in the success of the film. The first two weeks of filming took place in New York, with only Will's shots, and later the first scene of two people together was filmed at Grand Central Station.
During the filming of "Men in Black", "Independence Day" achieved great success, and Smith, who played the leading role, became a first-line action star. When "Men in Black" was released, Smith became a first-class comedian.
When talking about K in the sequel, Jones said that they did not describe in depth the details of his life after retirement. This film is just a passing story. The key is to let him return to his old business. The audience can give full play to their imagination to fill it. blank.
Smith has worked with Sonanfeld twice before this film, and he knows that Sonanfeld is good at inspiring humorous performances.
