The New York Post is reporting today that fan favorite Tommy Lee Jones is not going to be involved in the high-profile sequel to Men In Black. According to the story, Jones balked at the script and demanded $40 million for his return as Agent K.

Considering that a large part of the known synopsis for Men In Black 2 dealt with bringing Kay back into the fold of the secret organization, I'd take this with a grain of salt until we get further confirmation. The $40 million paycheck would have been a record for a single performance in a single movie by an actor.
