Alice Eve In Men in Black III

Alice Eve (Sex and the City 2) will be playing the younger version of Emma Thompson (Love Actually) in Men In Black III, according to Deadline. Both English actresses will be portraying the character of Olivia/Agent Oh.

In the present day, Thompson’s Agent Oh runs the MIB agency. Will Smith’s Agent J travels back to 1969 and meets Eve’s Olivia, who is just starting out as a secretary at the agency. Agent J teams up with Olivia and a young Agent K (Josh Brolin, playing the younger version of Tommy Lee Jones’ character) to save the world and, presumably, bicker and make a lot of wisecracks. There may also be aliens involved. I’m just guessing here.

Men In Black III, which also co-stars Alec Baldwin, Nicole Scherzinger, and Jemaine Clement, will start filming again next month. It has been in an extended production hiatus so script improvements could be made. Director Barry Sonnenfeld, who also directed the first two films in the franchise, says the film will be ready for its planned May 25, 2012 release date.
