Sony tried so hard to sell "Bad Boys for Life" as the last installment of the "Bad Boys" trilogy, with Will Smith and Martin Lawrence teaming up for "one last ride". Hell, even the title sounded like a goodbye to fans. But after 16 years trying to get one last movie made, it only took one weekend to greenlight a new sequel.
When the third installment exploded into theaters over the MLK weekend and delivered an incredible $73 million in four days, it became clear that this particular franchise is still lucrative for the studio. And Sony was well aware of this even before seeing the final numbers.
On Friday, news began to circulate that the studio is gearing up for a fourth installment, and that "Bad Boys for Life" scribe Chris Bremner is already on board to pen the script. Bremner is also working on a "National Treasure 3" screenplay for Disney. Jerry Bruckheimer is producing both franchises.
Of course, what's the point of a "Bad Boys" movie without Smith and Lawrence, and they are indeed expected to return. Hopefully, the new sequel won't take 16 years to get made.
