This has been rumored for awhile, but I have to ask... Who would drop $6K+ on a MIB machine?
The first movie was good even though it was basically Ghostbusters with aliens. The second movie was atrocious and I suspect the third will fall somewhere between the two.
It has potential I guess, but there are far better (and more relevant licenses out there IMO. I have to wonder if Stern has licensing deals set up with the movie studios and the studio then dictates what machines they make? Leaving the decision out of Stern's hands so to speak...
I suppose at the very least the studio says you can choose from these (a, b, c) properties for your next game. Oh well. More money in my pocket for JJP's Hobbit pin!
Resident Evil seems like a bad choice since the movies have been done to death. Games are still good, but movies not so much.
Avengers is realistic.
Muppets movie came and went without much fanfare (I saw it, and while enjoyed it kept going wtf)
MIB is a possibility, it will be a big deal, but hope it is better than the 2nd.

Pun intended? 
They also had a pic of Bane up there earlier, but it's gone now.
Whatever theme they go with I just hope they invest in the quality warranted for even the pro prices and put at least two coats of clear on each playfield. The recent clear they have done on newer releases is unacceptable IMO even at the price point of the pros. I am usually the one defending Stern but I really hope they step up to the plate and put in the effort to raise the quality of future machines and their playfields on all of their price point lineup not just LEs.

Hardly anyone cares about that franchise at this point.
Yea I agree although they are coming out with MIB III this year which may be why Stern is considering it.

my vote is for the big lebowski
If a pin maker actually made this happen I would have no option but to buy one.

+2 - my dream theme, which is why I know it'll never happen..

I think its time for some humor in a new Stern game. The movie looks good. Sci-fi, Aliens, Monsters, I like it.
Agreed.. I'm not big on the them but you have to admit, it would work well for pinball. Maybe a vaccum-tube "teleporter" or something?
All these pipe dreams about your cult followed movies are getting old. Your gonna get whatever big movie-TV-toys are hot right now. Get over it!
Hahaa, no harm in them at all sounds like someone needs a chill pill.

I don't buy pins based on the theme. As long as the theme isn't absolutely horrible then I dont care too much. I'm not an ACDC fan but ordered a premium because the game looks great. 24 isn't a great theme but the game is great. The Shadow was a cheesy movie but the pin is amazing. Johnny Mnemonic was fail as a movie but the pin is great.

I'd rather see a Ghostbusters pin! They are making a sequel!

Then you're in luck! Many people are like you and theme is of little importance. For myself theme is pretty high on the list of things I look for in a pin, although with games like Tron and WOZ I allowed some of the other aspects to override my ambivalence toward the themes.
For instance, I've never cared for ACDC in any way, shape, or form. Because of this I passed on the pin. If it were the exact same layout and been a NIN theme I would have been very interested and probably would have pulled the trigger.
Different strokes for different folks and all that jazz.
Wow! Stern thinking of doing a lame licensed game which will only have an appeal for the short term? Wow! Unheard of!!
Jpop said on the recent Spooky pinball podcast that he tried get a gig with Stern and it's so effin' obvious the reason he was shut down was because he didn't want to make licensed bullshit. I really hope JJP keeps its promise of releasing half original themed games in its catalog.

Alice in Wonderland?
Listening to interviews with Jpop, I think he plans on doing that one in the future after he is done with the Magic Girl and Zombie Adventureland projects. He built a design for one years ago and would like to make it and now is the time for these small run independent machines. Doubt Stern would go back to an old license for that.

If that is true it was not a good move by Stern. JPop has a proven talent for designing original themed machines it would have increased Stern's exposure and would have reached a market of pinheads that don't care for movie licensed pins. I think an unlicensed pin with JPop as lead designer would have no problem selling a large number of pins for a big pinball manufacturer.
I've seen JPop's Alice in Wonderland pin up close, it looks great.. based off System 11. It's a non-working prototype sadly.. but you can see a lot of his design ideas in his current work for sure (ie. crazy ramps)

I thought that one did work. The last time I talked to Mike (the owner), he said he had done the software for it. I assumed it was up and running....

Exactly. Nothing wrong with getting feedback from the masses. Good or bad it's scuttle butt 
Pretty locked in the next pin is Avengers FWIW.
But project "PUG" was discussed at expo last year with me and my family on a private tour.

Are they trying to release this game along side the movie. Don't they usually release games several months after the movies been out?
