Radewart Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 (edited) link: http://nz.entertainment.yahoo.com/070710/7/uro.html A tiny King Country town could set the scene for an upcoming film starring Hollywood star Will Smith. Ohura, population 165, is being tipped to be one of the locations for Bad Boys III, the third in the Bad Boys action franchise starring Smith and Martin Lawrence. Bonny Johnson, operator of the local Jailhouse Cafe, told the Taranaki Daily News the Auckland owners of the town's former prison were in talks with the Bad Boys producers, about shooting there. The secluded prison complex, which had originally been a miners' hostel, and closed in 2003, was perfect for a film shoot, Ms Johnson said. "They said that the biggest problem with filming is the problems they have with outside people and security - whereas with this one they can block the whole thing off," Ms Johnson said. Talks had been going on for about four months, she added, but there was no word on when filming would happen. "They are saying they will use it, but `we will use it when we want to use it'." I doubt this, something would of been said in the trades...likely for "John Hancock" Edited July 11, 2007 by Radewart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Hero1 Posted July 12, 2007 Admin Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 I wonder if a Bad Boys 3 script is complete.. I know jerry bruckheimer hired someone to work on it back when BBII was coming out.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpinJack AJ Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 At this point the accuracy doesn't bother me so much. Just hearing of the news and knowing people are talking about BB3 is cool. Even tho' they were saying they wanted 2 do BB3 while they were working BB2, i wouldn't expect it 2 come 2 quick. I doubt it'll take as long as it did for the 2nd one 2 get made.

Members BadBoy4Life Posted July 12, 2007 Members Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 it's great to hear news about Bad Boys 3...however i hope that they will shoot most of the movie in Miami...i also hope they will start the production somewhere in 2008 for a summer 2009 release...

JumpinJack AJ Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 I'm with u!! Summer 2009 would be great. Maybe they can get the soundtrack right this time. Both movies were great, but that 2nd soundtrack really sucked. That waz disappointing after how good the 1st one was. No Bad Boy affiliation with the next one, no explicit lyrics, and no less than 2 tracks from the 'Prince. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BadBoy4Life Posted July 13, 2007 Members Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 yeah, i really think that they should bring back Mark Mancina. He made a great score for the first one and i was very disappointed when he left Bad Boys 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpinJack AJ Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Yeah, it's amazing how music can really set the vibe 2 a movie. No offense 2 Dr. Dre, but his "scoring" made no sense at all. Not bad, just unnecessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gmoney Posted July 13, 2007 Members Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Come on y'all Bad boys 3 taking place in another place than Miami would not be a Bad boys movie, it's like Miami vice taking place in Paris, or Lethal Weapon in South Africa. In France before the sequel to Bad Boys, words were that Bad Boys 2 was to take place in England... We all saw that!!! A lot of people expect that there will be a Bad Boys 3, so do I but we cannot be happy before the official words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rocafella Posted August 16, 2007 Members Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 I'll just be happy knowing that a third one is going to be made, if it is ever officially confirmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BDuncan Posted August 17, 2007 Members Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 I'd be up for a Bad Boys 3 film, but I hope it doesn't follow the example of the disastrous Rush Hour 3 film, that cost New Line about $US 200 mill to make, plus there's the fact that they had to fork out about $US 50 mill just in salary payments to Tucker, Chan and director Brett Ratner. I'm guessing Sony will probably have to do the same on a BB3 film, as Will, Lawrence and director Michael Bay (if he opted to direct) won't come cheap.
