  • Story Text: Rapper and actor Will Smith has personally appeared for the Germany premiere of his latest movie, Men In Black II.
    The sci-fi comedy, a continuation of the original Men In Black movie released five years ago, was presented at Berlins Sony Center Thursday night (July 11) where fans received Smith with rapturous applause.
    As the story goes, after agent Kay (Tommy Lee Jones) left the secret organisation Men In Black a few years ago his memory was "wiped out." The once most diligent and smartest alien fighter now works as a postman in a small Massachusetts town.
    Kays former partner Jay (Will Smith) has meanwhile become Men In Blacks top agent -- however, fighting aliens without Kay is just not the same and he does not enjoy work as much anymore.
    One day an especially mean fighting machine appears out of nowhere: seductive dessous model Serleena (Lara Flynn Boyle).
    Boyle, playing Serleena, asked by reporters in Berlin Thursday night whether she believes in aliens, said: "I live in Hollywood. Of course I do!"
    In the world of Men In Black II, only Kay would be able to tame her -- if only he could remember his former existence.
    Agent Kay therefore reactivates his old pal Jay and this is when the adventure starts becoming bizarre.
    Men In Black II will be coming to German movie theatres on July 18.
