METAL MEN Movie On The Way?

Vulture has discovered the 60's comic book to film project that MIB III director Barry Sonnenfeld is working on...THE METAL MEN. The premise is about a scientist named Dr. William Magnus who built a group of robots to have personality traits and abilities of certain elements...

Gold - the team leader and could stretch his form almost infinitely
Iron  - the strong one
Lead - slow-witted and could form shields
Mercury - hot headed and could liquidfy his form for certain tasks
Platinum - could flatten or stretch, she is in love with Prof. Magnus and believes she's human
Tin - the insecure one.

Since this isn't an official announcement, there are no other details.

This could be fun. If the script has the right combination of action and humor....say like the first MEN IN BLACK, I think it could do real well. I assume it will be a live action/CGI film.
