Martin Lawrence Talks 'Bad Boys 3'
Wed, April 21, 2010
Really it should come as no surprise that Martin Lawrence in talking about 'Bad Boys 3', it was arguably the biggest franchise he's ever had his name attached to, and with his career almost in the toilet after a slew of shitty movies, why not re-visit what helped you blow up in the first place.
While there hasn't been any solid Bad Boys 3 news since it was announced last August that Columbia Pictures had hired Peter Craig to write the script, Martin Lawrence told MTV that he thinks it's happening.
"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," Lawrence said. "I met with Michael Bay, and he said he's onboard too — so it's real."
"I got Big Willie to come down and see me about the movie. I felt special," Lawrence added. "We're just waiting on Jerry Bruckheimer to let us know when it's really real."
The first Bad Boys, released in 1995, was made for just $19 million and earned $141.4 million worldwide. It was followed in 2003 with Bad Boys II, which took in $273.3 million.
The biggest problems with 'Bad Boys 3' actually being made are, Michael Bay and Will Smith's salaries and schedules. Bay is currently gearing up to shoot Transformers 3 and Smith is deciding whether or not to do 'Men in Black 3' or 'The City That Sailed'.
The earliest we could expect BB3 is probably not until late 2012 or summer 2013 which seems much more likely. By then it will have been 10 years since he last installment, will anyone still care?

Lawrence is kind of a bum, he needs will smith and bay to do this, i wanna see bad boys 3 too, so i do hope they do it im just saying
Tom Cruise should be in this movie
I'll pass on this one. The only thing that could make any worse is Will Smith's talentless son acting in it too.
