L-R: Martin Lawrence and Will Smith
According to several reports, it seems like Bad Boys 3 is not moving
forward at all. Recently Martin Lawrence revealed that the long-
awaited sequel to 1995’s Bad Boys and 2003’s Bad Boys II is
getting harder and harder to make happen 14 years after the last
film. Over the last few months, the film Bad Boys for Life lost its
director and its release date, Nov. 9, 2018, was pushed back
indefinitely. Smith had said last year that the film was “very, very,
very close,” but it looks like he was wrong. Lawrence had first
confirmed the third installment almost exactly three years ago on
Aug. 14, 2014 during an appearance on Conan O’Brien’s late
show. Bad Boys followed two Miami-Dade police detectives,
played by Lawrence and Smith, who are sent on a mission to find
$100 million in heroin heisted from the station. The second film
followed the detectives as they worked to stop drug trafficking.
