The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Men in Black: International (stylized as MIB: International in promotional material, also known as Men in Black 4: International) is a 2019 American science fiction action-comedy film directed by F. Gary Gray and written by Art Marcum and Matt Holloway. It is the fourth in the Men in Black film series, based on The Men in Black comic book series, in turn based on the conspiracy theory. It is set in the same universe as the previous three films but is the first in the series to feature neither Will Smith nor Tommy Lee Jones. It stars Chris Hemsworth, Tessa Thompson, Emma Thompson, Liam Neeson, Rebecca Ferguson, Kumail Nanjiani, Rafe Spall, and Les Twins. The film follows the Men in Black taking on its biggest threat: a mole in the agency. Talks of a fourth Men in Black film began after the release of Men in Black 3 in 2012. In February 2018, Hemsworth signed on to lead a spin-off, Gray was hired to direct, and Thompson joined the cast the following month. Filming took place in New York City, Morocco, Italy and London from July to October 2018. Danny Elfman, who had scored the previous three films, returned to compose the reboot with Chris Bacon. The film was marred by significant production strife between producer Walter F. Parkes and director Gray during the production. Men in Black: International premiered in New York City on June 11, 2019, and was released in the United States on June 14. The film received generally negative reviews from critics, who criticized the lackluster action and forgettable plot. It grossed $254 million against a $94–110 million production budget. A fifth film is in development. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
