However, Hill responded to the suggestion by saying&#xA0;&#x201C;jump street merging with mib i think that&#x2019;s clean and rad and powerful.&#x201D;<\/p>\n<p>The emails suggest that Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones will not be involved in any significant way, but we love the idea of throwing Schmidt and Jenko into the <strong><em>MIB<\/em><\/strong> universe. The self-aware rebooted <strong><em>Jump Street<\/em><\/strong> franchise seems weirdly capable of thriving when thrown into another universe and this is something we would love to see.<\/p>\n<p>They also reveal that <strong><em>MIB<\/em><\/strong> executive producer Steven Spielberg has been contacted, and that no script has been written (&#x201C;We don&#x2019;t have a script yet so we&#x2019;ll be greenlighting the movie off the concept and the talent involved,&#x201D; emailed executive&#xA0;Hannah Minghella) but that it&#x2019;s a high priority project for Sony and they&#x2019;re looking at a 2016 or 2017 release. Phil Lord and Chris Miller will stay on to produce and may direct.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think?
