Radewart Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 (edited) Maybe our prays are answered! http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/news/e3if39271c89709c28eceb20163c74fc6f4 Columbia Pictures is developing a third installment of the high-octane "Bad Boys" franchise, tapping Peter Craig to pen the screenplay. The hope is to have a script that would reunite director Michael Bay, producer Jerry Bruckheimer and stars Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. At this point, with the project in the early stages, none has a deal to return. The "Boys" movies feature Smith and Lawrence as Miami detectives Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett, caught up in cases involving car chases and explosions. The first "Boys," released in 1995, helped launch Bay as a director and Smith as an action star even though it was not a fire-stamped blockbuster -- it grossed $66 million domestically and $141 million worldwide. The sequel, released in 2003 when Bay and Smith's stars had risen, grossed $138 million domestically and $273 million worldwide. All parties have expressed a willingness to return if a story can be hammered out. One potential hurdle, however, would be the costly deals with the players. Craig, repped by CAA and Management 360, co-wrote "The Town," which Ben Affleck is directing for Warner Bros. and which shoots in Boston next month. He is adapting anime "Cowboy Bebop" for 20th Century Fox and Keanu Reeves. Edited August 31, 2009 by Radewart Ydfer3jjaj 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ale Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Transformers 3, Pain & Gain, Bad Boys 3 Nelson here... I spoke to Michael today and he had a little update on his future projects: * He will be meeting later this week with Steven Spielberg, and Ehren Kruger to discuss ideas for Transformers 3. By the end of the week he should have an idea if Transformers 3 will hit your local cineplex in the summer of 2011 or 2012. * In the meantime "Pain & Gain" is looking very possible as is... * ...Bad Boys 3. Either film coming to a theater near you before or after Transformers 3. Source: http://www.michaelbay.com/newsblog/newsblog.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpinJack AJ Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Sounds like they are rushing BB3. I hope that's not the case. Anything less than the first 2 will be unexceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Hero1 Posted September 16, 2009 Admin Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 I don't care if they rush it.. They rushed the first two movies remember! As long as Jerry, Michael, Martin & Will are on board they'll make something of it.. Very promising! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
