Martin ain't hurting breh

And if anything, Will is the one who NEEDS this movie since he's the bigger movie star and hasn't had a great movie in YEARS imo, not to mention his box office numbers ain't been great in recent times.

Suicide squad was a hit for Will breh. His last flick belly flopped but this Netflix movie he's got looks very cool. Will ain't hurting. Trust. But neither is Martin. If anything it's just a passion project. Neither one of them need it at all.

shyt slipped my mind brehs lol. Was so blinded by that movie Focus and the other one he released last year that were underwhelming as hell. He's definitely back on track with Suicide Squad tho. Bad Boys III is a much needed follow up.

Michael Bay Says It's Now Or Never For Bad Boys 3

Michael Bay Says It’s Now Or Never For Bad Boys 3

Despite sounding like a great idea on paper, some films get stuck in development hell for so long that it makes you wonder just what the heck is really going on? Such is the case with Bad Boys 3. After two extremely successful instalments, you’d think that all parties involved would be rushing to make another outing, but that hasn’t been the case. A glimmer of hope appeared when Joe Carnahan signed on to write and direct not too long ago, but he’s since departed the project and it’s now back in limbo.

There hasn’t been a substantial update in quite a while and at this point, it’s starting to look like the film will never get made. Even if it does manage to materialize at some point, it’s important to keep in mind that stars Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are only getting older by the day and eventually, won’t be able to reprise their roles anymore – which would effectively kill the project. That’s a sentiment director Michael Bay, who helmed the first two entries in the franchise, shares as well.

In a recent interview to promote Transformers: The Last Knight, here’s what the filmmaker had to say:

Pretty soon they’re going to be old boys, okay. Pretty soon they’re going to be retired cops instead of active-duty cops. It’s taken a long time to get that thing going, and I’m not involved in getting it going. They should get it going soon, though. You could definitely get Martin and Will to be funny again — those were fun movies to do.

The director makes a good point, and though he says he’s not involved with Bad Boys 3 – which is true – it wouldn’t be too shocking if the studio ended up bringing him in to finally get the film into production. If anyone could do it it’d be Bay, and fans would no doubt welcome him back to the franchise with open arms. Not to mention that these types of movies are exactly the kind that he excels at, delivering larger than life thrills and a healthy dose of his signature Bayhem.

Sony’s still holding onto that November 8th, 2018 release date for the threequel, from what we understand, so it seems like they do intend on making it. The only question is when will things finally get going? If it’s not soon, there’s no way it’ll find its way into theatres for that aforementioned date and again, like Bay says, Smith and Lawrence aren’t getting any younger.

they might as well bring Bay back if he's done with Transformers

it's over brehs it's not gonna happen. Will wants to make these trash movies now

BB2 was way back in 2003. This is just Detox status at this point.

A year or two ago, the future of Bad Boys was looking extra bright with two sequels scheduled for release and writer-director Joe Carnahan (The Grey) at the helm. But he left the director’s chair on Bad Boys For Life, which was once planned to come out this year, then postponed to January 2018, and then scheduled for November of next year before its release date was scrapped altogether. Most Bad Boys 3 news has been disheartening lately, especially franchise star Martin Lawrence saying recently, “I don’t think it’s going to happen.”

Now the producer of the series, Jerry Bruckheimer, has given fans hope. Below, find out what Jerry Bruckheimer says about the hopeful future for Bad Boys 3.

Bruckheimer has always cited timing as the problem with the sequel. When Will Smith was interested in making the movie, Sony wasn’t. When the studio was excited about the project, Smith – who’s rarely not busy – was off doing another project. That’s what’s happening now with Smith starring in Disney’s upcoming live-action remake of Aladdin instead of Bad Boys For Life. After playing the Genie in Guy Ritchie’s musical, he’s then expected to star in Suicide Squad 2 next fall, keeping him busy for the foreseeable future. So how is there hope?

During an interview with Yahoo! Movies, Bruckheimer said a few ups and downs and scheduling conflicts are nothing new for the project, and he believes it’ll bounce back as it always has:

Well, we’ve been developing it for I don’t know how many years now and we had a period of time where it got pretty close and then it drifted away a little bit and hopefully it will drift back again. We have a new writer on it who’s working on it right now, so that gives me encouragement.
Bruckheimer and Sony never found a replacement for Carnahan, who left to remake The Raid, but they now have an unknown screenwriter working on the script. When Carnahan was on board, he described the sequel as a modern take about “what becomes of Bad Boys when they’re not boys anymore.” He believed the story they had cooked up for Bad Boys For Life was relevant, too, but considering a new writer is tackling the script, Carnahan’s story has either been tossed aside or is undergoing some revisions.

Why We Need Bad Boys 3

It’s been a long road for Bad Boys 3, but it’s a project you’d hate to see die. R-rated popcorn movies like Bad Boys II – with a lot of spectacular mayhem and mean-spirited laughs – are too few and far between. Both movies had a lot of space between their releases, so neither felt the same and are absolutely products of their time. In 2017, who doesn’t want to see a modern-day, high-octane car chase or shootout with Detective Mike Lowery (Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Lawrence)?

In a studio system occupied by a lot of superheroes and conventionally heroic protagonists, it’d be a real breath of fresh air having characters as unfiltered and as vulgar as Lowery and Burnett on the big screen again. Studios rarely make heroes as flawed as Lowery and Burnett. Without question, on a hot summer day at the movies, I’d prefer to see those two save the day in Miami over a hero saving the planet again.

Only Michael Bay could make a movie like Bad Boys II, a wonderfully bombastic action movie in which Bay honed his filmmaking style and became the Michael Bay. That’s the unhinged and unrestrained R-rated fun we don’t often see in movies anymore, either. Nobody can repeat what Bay did with the franchise, but hopefully, a filmmaker is at least able to give it a try because the world of cinema obviously needs Mike Lowery and Marcus Burnett more than ever before.
