XCLUSIVE: Following the massive success of Bad Boys: Ride Or Die, Sony Pictures and Martin Lawrence are looking to revive another classic comedy from the comedian as sources tell Deadline a sequel to the 1999 buddy comedy Blue Streak is in development. Cole Masika is writing the screenplay, and insiders add that the film is in early development with no other talent involved. Lawrence is producing through his production company Run Tel Dat along with Robert Lawrence, Rae Proctor and Stacy Lyles as well as Toby Jaffe and his RDV Films.

Released in 1999, the film starred Lawrence as Miles, a jewel thief who tries to retrieve a diamond he left at a police station, whereupon he disguises himself as a detective and gets paired with a real policeman, played by Luke Wilson, to investigate burglaries. The film opened as the number one movie in North America and went on to gross nearly $120 million at the worldwide box office.

Blue streak is the GOAT movie to watch on TV on a Sunday...when I had cable and TNT, TBS, USA, etc. was playing it, I would always put it on

Unnecessary but I’d watch - is he a federali?

There was already a Blue streak sequel in the works but plans never came into fruition, The writer's salvaged what they had from that script and turned that into the movie Bad Company (Chris Rock and Anthony Hopkins)

Real true fact.

This is another movie I don't think needs a sequel. It had Martin still in his prime and an ascending Dave Chapelle and a Luke Wilson who was smart enough to stay out of the way.

If the OG cast ain't in it I don't want it

Should've made a Nothing to Lose sequel instead

I saw this in 8th grade, September 1999, and it was never funny. It was a Rush Hour rip off in it's prime, with a few laughs at best.

Always wasn't a fan of blue streak, pretty corny

Martin looks like a geriatric these days as well
