The sequel to the wildly popular Men in Black is set to make returning alien-busters Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones two very happy men.
According to a report on inside.com, the two have negotiated a deal that is potentially one of the most profitable ever struck in TonselTown. The article claims that Will will allegedly receive 20 percent of the film’s take, until the film grosses $200 million. Tommy Lee’s share would reportedly be 12.5 percent.
Director Barry Sonnenfeld will get 10 percent, while Sony will collect the remainder.
Will could use the extra cash more than ever now, as there’s a new little one in diapers around the Smith house these days. Tommy Lee? Maybe he could take former college roomie Al Gore out for a night on the town.
