Columbia Hires Bad Boys 3 Screenwriter

August 31, 2009

Columbia Pictures is developing a third installment of the "Bad Boys" franchise, hiring Peter Craig to write the screenplay, says The Hollywood Reporter.

The studio hopes to have a script that would reunite director Michael Bay, producer Jerry Bruckheimer and stars Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. At this point, with the project in the early stages, none has a deal to return.

The first Bad Boys was released in 1995 and grossed $66 million domestically and $141 million worldwide. The 2003 sequel grossed $138 million domestically and $273 million worldwide.

I've been waiting to hear these words for a long time. Hopefully this one can stand up with the two before it. I love this franchise and can't wait to hear more.

If they don't have the same people it will only come out straight to dvd and ruin it.

How can anyone NOT want this to happen? Bad Boys 2 was such a good time. The perfect mix of action and comedy. This is the best news I've heard all day.

I hope this does go down! I just hope it's more like the first one than the second. The second was just like any buddy cop movie and was about forty-five minutes too long.
