Bad Boys 3 Hires New Writers
Rumours of its demise have been greatly exaggerated…It would appear that the once-thought cancelled Bad Boys 3 AKA Bad Boys For Life is now back on, says producer Jerry Bruckheimer.
A week ago, co-star Martin Lawrence seemed to confirm that the project was dead. It’d lost director Joe Carnahan earlier this year, and with it, the chances of hitting Sony’s planned release date (let’s not forget too that Sony originally wanted a Bad Boys 4 as well).
Lawrence therefore suggested that everyone had moved on, and that the film wasn’t going to happen.Well count it out at your peril, as Bruckheimer has just told Yahoo (via Den of Geek) that he’s just hired a new writer for the project.
“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”, Bruckheimer said. “We have a new writer on it who’s working on it right now, so that gives me encouragement”.
However, there’s still no director that we know of, and Will Smith’s schedule is looking rather full…
