Bad Boys For Life Trailer
It’s crazy to think thatBad Boy 2came out 16 years ago. So much has changed in the world since then. But some thingsneverchange – like the public’s desire to watch Will Smith and Martin Lawrence shoot people in slow-motion. InBad Boys For Life, “Old-school cops Mike Lowery and Marcus Burnett team up to take down the vicious leader of a Miami drug cartel. Newly created elite team AMMO of the Miami police department along with Mike and Marcus go up against the ruthless Armando Armas.”
Since Smith and Lawrence are both a bit older now than when they started this whole thing,Bad Boys For Lifeadds some fresh faces to the mix.Alexander Ludwig(Vikings),Vanessa Hudgens(The PrincessSwitch),andCharles Melton(Riverdale) play “a modern, highly specialized police unit that collides with the old school Bad Boys (Smith and Lawrence) when a new threat emerges in Miami.”
The road to bringBad Boys For Lifeto life has been a bit bumpy. There was some difficulty getting Martin Lawrence to sign on to the project. On top of that, the film went through several different scripts – including one byJoe Carnahan, who was also floated as a possible director for the sequel. But Carnahan’s vision didn’t seem to gel with that of star Will Smith. “I love Will, he’s a great guy,” Carnahansaid. “I just know myself. And I thought what we were doing at that point was the law of diminishing returns. I wasn’t servicing the story that I was really excited about telling, that the studio had greenlit. And again, this isn’t to throw shade at Will — it’s your face on the poster, it’s your name on the poster, you need to do things the way you want them done.”
And now here we are at last, with the film close to release. Will it be worth the long wait? We’ll know for sure whenBad Boys For LifeopensJanuary 17, 2020.
