Men In
Black 2 Ending to be Refilmed After Disaster
(by digitalmediafx.com) The ending to Men In Black 2 will
be refilmed according to the filmmakers after the terrorist attack
Tuesday on the World Trade Center. The current ending of the movie
takes place against the backdrop of the World Trade Center.
A Sony Pictures
spokesperson was quoted by Daily Variety on Wednesday as saying,
"There was a scene set against the background of the World
Trade Center, and given yesterday's tragedy, we are now in the
process of looking at alternatives."
The spokesperson
also indicated that any other scenes that show the World Trade
Center would likely be refilmed or edited. It is unknown if the
changes will affect the July 3, 2002 release of the movie.
