It seems as if Will Smith and Martin Lawrence will once again be fighting “Bad Boys” or at least according to Martin Lawrence. Lawrence has long said that he is very interested in “the opportunity to reprise his role in the series that catapulted his career”.
According to Martin Lawrence everyone is in, and they’re all waiting on Bruckheimer. As he puts it “Any time you can get Big Willie to come out and talk about doing a third installment of a hot movie like ‘Bad Boys,’ you have to take notice.” He furthermore adds “I met with Michael Bay , and he said he’s on board too — so it’s real…We’re just waiting on Jerry Bruckheimer to let us know when it’s really real.”
Of all the people involved in the Bad Boys series, Lawrence definitely has the most to gain by seeing the project become reality. Will Smith, Michael Bay and Jerry Bruckheimer all have other projects that could keep them busy. But the fact that everyone seems to be having a blast while shooting these movies, might be a seems to be a driving force for everyone involved. According to sources, Columbia Pictures has already put Peter Craig in charge of writing the script.
As mentioned above, the only thing that can cause problems for this project is “whether or not the timing will be right for everyone. Smith has several project in the works, in varying capacities. And Michael Bay will be gearing up Transformers 3 over at Dreamworks very soon”.
We will of course keep you up to date on any changes as soon as we receive any news as to the process of this project.
