Makeup king Rick Baker (“An American Werewolf in London”) premiered
footage from the troubled highly-anticipated second sequel to Barry
Sonnenfeld’s sci-fi/comedy and in turn joked about some of the issues
they’ve been experiencing on the worrying wonderfully-looking sequel.
Comparing the “Werewolf” and “Men in Black” experience, Baker said of
the former : “We actually shot the script, you don’t do that today in
movies. We’re still waiting to see what the script for Men in Black 3
looks like… I probably shouldn’t have said that.”
The footage he screened for the audience largely featured the film’s
aliens – Jermaine Clement’s, Boris, a trendy-looking humanoid biker type
with soulless-google eyes and some familiar-looking robots from the
’60s (Baker even wanted to have ‘E.T’ in there – on a phone -but the
idea was rejected) like little green men and wild dancers.
