Speaking to Hey U Guys, Men in Black producer Laurie said: 'We're working with Ridley. That's one we wouldn't touch unless we felt in a way to do it was legitimate. 

'We're working with an amazing writer as well, Peter Craig.'

Her husband Walter added: 'It picks up the story 30 years later… 25 years later.'
