SH*T JUST GOT REAL

Bad Boys 2 is the best movie of all time. No, seriously. Try and name a film better than it. You can’t.

It has been fifteen long years since that cinematic masterpiece was released. You can understand that they might have been worried that they could never top it.

But Bad Boys 3 has been in pre-production for a long time, with both Will Smith and Martin Lawrence supposedly on board, and TV directors Adil El Arbi & Bilall Fallah set to be in charge behind the camera.

It will reportedly go under the title Bad Boys For Life (shouldn’t they save that for part 4?), and various potential plot details have come to light. But for the longest time it looked like it was just stuck in development hell – one of those sequels that there will be constant rumours about, but never actually happen.

But not it looks like it is actually going to happen, finally. For real. Probably.

Variety say that Sony are “very close” to greenlighting a third movie. The studio are said to be very happy with the latest version of the script, and production could happen as soon as early 2019.

The plan is apparently to release Bad Boys 3 before the 2020 Martin Luther King Jr. weekend (that’s in January, for those of you who don’t know your American bank holidays, FYI).

There is also still the Bad Boys TV show on the way as well.
