Columbia Pictures has provided ComingSoon.net with two posters for Men in Black 3. Towards the bottom of each poster is a disguised weblink - TheMenInBlackSuitsAreReal.com - which leads to a viral Facebook account run by 'BugEyes126', who has left the following message:

"I've uncovered that there's these Men in Black suits who monitor and police alien activity on earth. Up until now no one believes me, so I'm on a mission to prove that they're real and that's why I started this Facebook page. More soon."

Men in Black 3 opens in 3D, 2D and IMAX 3D theaters on May 25. It is directed by Barry Sonnenfeld and stars Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin, Jemaine Clement, Emma Thompson, Nicole Scherzinger, Alice Eve and Michael Stuhlbarg.

Hollywood creature designer Neville Page chatted recently with horror movie news site Shock Till You Drop about his experience of working with some of the industry’s top directors on projects such as Avatar, Super 8 and the forthcoming Prometheus.

Page – who also designed the aliens for Star Trek and Green Lantern – says:

“I see myself as an arm, hired to realize other peoples' visions. Yes, they hire me because I have a particular take on things and aesthetic. Working with someone like James Cameron, Ridley Scott or J.J. Abrams, they have an agenda, they have a vision they need my help realizing. So, the reason I say I try to have my style come through is because it's not about me, it's about taking whatever is in their heads and trying to bring it to light. It ends up being infused with your aesthetic propensities. You can't help to have it be of you. It's my job to make sure the character in their production doesn't look similar to something else in another production.”
