Borat a Man in Black?

The prospects of Men in Black 3 being any good whatsoever might've just taken a fatal plunge. At least if these rumors are true. Bloody Disgusting is reporting that in addition to the previously rumored Josh Brolin being attached to the film, Sasha Baron Cohen(Borat, Bruno) is also being sought after by Columbia Pictures for a role. In addition, Jemaine Clement(Flight of the Concords, Eagle vs. Shark) is also being considered. Both are rumored to be up for the part of Yaz, a new character to the franchise.

Nothing is confirmed at this point. Personally, I don't even want MIB 3 to happen, but if either of these two are involved my interest just hit absolute zero. I tried to watch Concords but couldn't make it through episode 2. Just not for me. Cohen I like in small cameos more than anything else. Now to be fair, we have no idea how important this Yaz character is. It might just be a bit supporting role. Or, and this is scary, it could be a new man in black. Only time will tell, but production on this one already seems to be lagging behind. Production was set to begin in the spring, but it's not looking like that's going to happen.
