Action man! Will Smith throws himself out of a window as he does his own death-defying stunts filming Men In Black III
0 comments Posted by news at 4:11 PMBy JODY THOMPSON
Long way down: Will Smith was pictured doing his own stunts and throwing himself out of a window while filming Men In Black III in New York yesterday
He's already got his work cut out protecting earth from the scum of the universe - so flinging himself out of the window of a highrise building while filming Men In Black III was par for the course for Will Smith yesterday.
Wearing the distinctive black suit of his character Agent J and holding a gun, the 42-year-old was seen flying through the air with the greatest of ease as he did his own stunts on the set.
Obviously, just out of shot was a great big crashmat, but it's still pretty impressive for a multi-millionaire movie star to get his hands dirty like this.
Flying without wings: The star would have been landing on a huge great crash mat however to cushion his fall
Keep on running: The star, who plays Agent J in the comedy sci-fi, was seen sprinting though the streets too
Will was spotted filming equally daring stunts as the movie shot on location elsewhere in New York last month.
Yesterday, he was filming in the Soho area of Manhattan for the movie, which sees Will's Agent J sent back in time to save Tommy Lee Jones's Agent K.
Josh Brolin plays the younger version of the character in the scenes set in the 1960s and 1970s.
Leap of faith: The star is reprising his role as Agent J in the movie, the third in the comedy sci-fi franchise
Back in time: Will with Men In Black III co-star Josh Brolin preparing to film another scene
Chilling out: Will goes through his paces between takes in the sunshine
Earlier in the week, the crew had turned parts of the city's Jamaica Avenue into 1969 New York by converting all the shopfronts to look retro and even stocking them with products from the time.
Film publicist Frances Fiore revealed Men in Black III also shot footage recently near the Unisphere and New York State Pavilion, remnants of the 1964 World's Fair in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park.
The blockbuster features Smith chasing an alien up one of the pavilion's towers, which becomes a spaceship and crashes into the Unisphere.
Retro in the metro: The film sees Will travel back in time to the late 1960/early 1970s
Preparing to launch: The movie will be another all-action affair as the Men In Black battle against aliens to protect the Earth from the scum of the universe
And...action! A crew member brandishes an electronic clapperboard near Will before he prepares to shoot the last take of the day
Smith and Brolin are joined by Tommy Lee Jones, Alice Eve, Emma Thompson, Nicole Scherzinger, Rip Torn and Johnny Knoxville in the third instalment of the sci-fi comedy.
Filming has caused some controversy so far however, when residents complained after Will's huge trailer blocked their views and way when it was parked in their street in Soho.
Crew were forced to re-locate the trailer to a parking lot.
The new movie meanwhile, the follow up to the last MIB installment some 13 years ago, is expected to be released next May.

Single: Emma Watson, who looked stunning in a green Marchesa dress at the MTV Movie Awards, says her fame intimidates men
With an enviable figure, a successful career and £20million in the bank, Emma Watson might expect to have would-be boyfriends queueing around the block.
Yet the 21-year-old Harry Potter star is currently unattached.
Miss Watson feels that many men are ‘intimidated’ by her. Leggy lady: The 21-year-old actress showed off her enviable pins in the dress
And she gave them some simple advice: ‘Be brave.’
The elfin-faced Briton, who is busily promoting Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part II), the final instalment in the series, told an interviewer that men rarely pursue her.
‘It must be the fame wall. It must be the circus that goes around me.
‘Me, as a person, I find it hard to believe I would be intimidating.’
She also revealed how some men feel the need to be rude or dismissive simply because she is famous and successful.
‘Sometimes, perhaps because they are intimidated, they feel they have to knock me down,’ she told the Sunday Times Style magazine.
All white on the night: Earlier in the evening, Emma arrived on the red carpet wearing a short white dress, also by Marchesa
‘They know perfectly well who I am, but say, “How are the Narnia films going?”.’
Billed as the ‘darkest’ Potter film yet, Deathly Hallows II will premiere in London on July 7 and is expected to break box-office records when it is released in cinemas on July 15.
Miss Watson’s character Hermione Granger accompanies Harry on his last attempt to beat Lord Voldemort and his dark forces.
The actress has postponed her studies at Brown University in Rhode Island to focus on her career, and is currently filming The Perks Of Being A Wallflower.
On stage: Emma also treated fans to an exclusive clip from Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 2
Former love: Emma with financier then-boyfriend Jay Barrymore back in 2008

Rock chick: Emma also appeared in a music video for then-boyfriend George Craig's band One Night Only

I'd rather chat to the baby: The Oscar-winner made friends with five-month-old Tyler Sercombe
He's a double Oscar-winner and has been at the top of Hollywood's A-list for over two decades.
But Tom Hanks found himself surrounded by reality stars and glamour models this evening at the supposedly glittering premiere for his new film Larry Crowne.
The actor looked a little bemused as he posed on the red carpet, probably wishing he had his co-star Julia Roberts by his side to add a little more star power to the event.
Roberts will undoubtedly show up to promote the film at the LA premiere on June 27, but she left Tom to go it alone at the screening at Westfield shopping centre in London today. Who are these people? Tom Hanks looks a little bemused as he poses on the red carpet of his film premiere for Larry Crowne at Westfield
Tom will have had trouble recognising most of the attendees, with the exception perhaps of Ronnie Wood and David Hasselhoff, who both brought along their young girlfriends.
Other than the Rolling Stone, the Baywatch star and one Cherie Blair, the guests at the premiere were primarily made up of ITV2's finest.
Colourful: Nicola McLean chose to show off her cleavage at the event, Kerry Katona opted for legs, while Danielle Brown broke traditional style rules and showed both
Kerry Katona posed up with her fellow Can Associates clients Nicola McLean and Danielle Brown.
Kerry looked svelte in a her multi-coloured mini dress, which showed off her golden tan from her and Danielle's recent girls trip to Marbella.
Nicola wore a black jumpsuit with a plunging neckline that put her surgically enhanced decolletage on prominent display.
Reality stars: The Only Way Is Essex stars Sam Faiers (left) and Lydia Bright both attended
TOWIE night out: Sam posed with her boyfriend Joey Essex on the red carpet, while co-star Harry Derbidge also attended
Elen Rivas was more casual - and far more demure than Nicola - in black jeans and clogs with a T-shirt and tweed jacket.
Also attending the screening were stars of The Only Way Is Essex.
Lydia Bright wore a gold dress with sequinned embellishment and nude heels, while her co-star Sam Faiers wore a nude maxi skirt with a cropped leather jacket.
Someone Hanks might recognise: Ronnie Wood added some star power, attending with his girlfriend Ana Araujo
Sam and Lydia were joined by Sam's boyfriend Joey Essex and their co-star Herry Derbidge.
She tweeted from the screening: 'Was in the same cinema with calzaghe, ronnie woods, the hoff, Tom hanks, and many more! Great film. X x'
Joe Calzaghe and Kristina Rihanoff, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and KT Tunstall all attended.
Coupled up: David Hasselhoff and girlfriend Hayley Roberts and Joe Calzaghe and Kristina Rihanoff attended
Lovely ladies: (L-R) Leonora Crichlow went for head-to-toe black, Katie Waissel showed off a new 'do and Sophie Ellis Bextor wore a flirty love heart dress
Former X Factor contestant Katie Waissel debuted yet another new hairstyle, arriving with long curly blonde locks after wearing her hair in a short crop for several months.
Tom stars in the romantic comedy (which he also directed), about a man who loses his job and reinvents himself by returning to college.
There, he develops a crush on one of his teachers, played by Roberts. The pair last starred together in Charlie Wilson's War in 2007.

Charmer: An animated Ronnie Wood gave Cherie Blair the giggles

Robert Pattinson waits for his bride at the altar in new scenes from Twilight: Breaking Dawn
0 comments Posted by news at 4:55 AMBy DAILY MAIL REPORTER
Sorry girls: Edward, played by Robert Pattinson, waits for his fiancé Bella at the altar in a newly released clip from Twilight: Breaking Dawn
It's the scene set to break a million hearts.
Robert Pattinson's much-adored character Edward Cullen stands at the altar, awaiting his bride in newly released shots from the Twilight: Breaking Dawn film.
He stands under a flowered bower, with rose petals littering the aisle. The couple's friends line each side of the aisle, looking back to see the bride's address.
But fans hoping to see the bridal costume of Bella Swan, played by Kristen Stewart, will have to wait.
The marriage of the year: Guests turn to greet Bella
Producers have only offered a hint of her outfit, with close-up shots of the gleaming white stone in her ring as her hand clasps Edwards, and of her jewelled hair clip and veil.
During filming of the scenes the cast and crew went to extreme lengths to prevent prying eyes seeing the wedding.
Swathes of tarpaulin, huge marquees, road blocks and armed police were all used to keep the scenes under wraps.
The ring: Newlywed Bella clasps her husband's arm after the ceremony
But the anticipation was such that fans couldn't wait, and stills of the couple consummating their marriage and Bella giving birth were leaked.
Author Stephanie Meyer released a statement begging fans not to post photos and to wait for the films
She wrote: 'Please, for those who are posting, stop. And please, though the temptation is high, don’t view or pass on these images. Wait for the film in its beautiful, finished entirety to thrill you.'
Die-hard fans have longed for this happy ending for four years.
First glimpse: Bella's jewelled hair clip and veil
However, the couple's happiness is short-lived when Bella unexpectedly becomes pregnant with a half-vampire half-human daughter who prefers sucking on her blood to drinking warm milk.
The rest of the two films see Bella fighting a lethal battle with her beastly unborn child that grows rapidly inside her, feeding off her blood which eventually sees Bella on her death bed.
This forces Edward to make the life-changing decision to either lose the human Bella he loves forever or to finally give into her dying wish and give her the eternal life she has been asking for.
