Josh Brolin interview: 'Will Smith has great idea for Men in Black 4'

We already know that Josh Brolin does a mean George Bush Jr, as evidenced in Oliver Stone's W., but you may be surprised to know that he also does a fantastic Tommy Lee Jones.

He plays the younger version in sci-fi sequel Men in Black III, where Will Smith travels back in time to protect his partner from an alien assassin.


Digital Spy sat down with the suited chameleon to find out about his impromptu dinner table audition for director Barry Sonnenfeld and why he steered well clear of Jones on the set.

"I knew Barry a little bit before this because he used to work with the Coen Brothers," Brolin said. "I gave the Coens an award and it was a fairly funny speech, so Barry wanted to get to know me.

"We all went out, had a few drinks and I was doing really bad Tommy Lee Jones and Nick Nolte impressions. Horrible. Nothing that could constitute me getting this kind of a job. Then he remembered it when he and Will started talking about doing the movie."

Brolin revealed that his co-star Smith already has plans to make a fourth Men in Black.

"Will had an idea the other day at a press conference that I thought was genius," he said. "We haven't talked about a fourth film, it hasn't been mentioned. I know that Will thought up the idea for the third one on the second film ten years ago.

"I don't know if it's going to take 20 years to put this together, but hopefully not because I think it's a great, great, great idea that he has."
