The comparison isn't hard to make, and the producer admitted there were some "influences" from different sources. It should be said that the film is based upon a comic book of the same name, so credit for the story's originality shouldn't lie solely with the filmmakers. Although if (lack of) originality lies with the comic book writer, then it should also be noted that Men in Black was a comic book also, so both films do have similar roots.
The preview does look like MIB, but it also looks like it could be an entertaining movie. I spotted Robert Knepper in a supporting role, so that could be fun to see him again. Hopefully there's some larger plot element that will distinguish the film from the MIB series. Otherwise, it might as well be a whitewashed MIB with Ryan Reynolds playing Will Smith.
