Variety reports that Will Smith is looking at either doing Sony's Men in Black III or 20th Century Fox's The City That Sailed.

Overbrook Films, the actor's production company, developed The City That Sailed and took it to Fox.

Written by Andrew Niccol, the story centers around a street magician in New York who is separated from his young daughter. She moves to London and "finds magic candles that make her wishes come true." This causes the island of Manhattan to separate from the continent and it floats toward England, bringing her dad closer to her.

Currrently, this project has no director attached.

The Men in Black franchise has produced very good box office for Smith and Sony. Men In Black, released in 1997, took in $587.8 million worldwide. Men In Black II earned $441.8 million globally.

Men in Black 3 was released May 25th, 2012 and stars Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin, Jemaine Clement, Emma Thompson, Michael Stuhlbarg, Mike Colter, Nicole Scherzinger. The film is directed by Barry Sonnenfeld.

    I used to watch that sort of thing long ago, sex films are degrading to both sexes the main reason I stopped watching.

    As of this film I sure hope it's awesome.

    Grow up and stop watching that garbage, it shows men and females in a bad light.

    MIB 3 should be cool to see.

    MIB 3 should have been done some years ago and so would BB3.
    There is too many fluffy films around, Will is an excellent actor it's just he thinks white.

    3 years agoby @zenderFlag

  19. Err

    will smith should do more dark movies and less fluffy movies.

    ...but i would like to see another mib movie, i found the previous 2 very entertaining, and for a long time they were the only will smith movies i didn't hate.

  20. the Narrator

    The City That Sailed! That would be visually stunning! For director I say Spielberg. I haven't nominated Steven to do a movie for a while, but if they mixed some of his A.I. direction with a little bit of Terminal, mixed type of view (ala the island actually moving), then this would be movie gold with Smith attached. Oscar worthy as well.

    MIB3 can wait..

    Men in Black III come on get out of here, Will.
    OK, well, I can see MIB3 if the entire cast return I guess, but NO exceptions. You know how those sequels are when they are done way too many years later and some of the cast doesn't return, or they replace somebody...
