Foxx and Lawrence Eying Sheneneh and Wanda

November 8, 2009

Variety reports that Screen Gems has acquired Sheneneh and Wanda, a comic vehicle for Jamie Foxx and Martin Lawrence to star in. The duo would play female characters they developed during their stand up comedy days in the caper film.

Foxx will write the script and he and Martin will produce together through Foxx's Foxxhole and Lawrence's Runteldat production companies.

The project originated as a parody of a movie trailer for a film called "Skank Robbers," which Foxx and Lawrence made for the BET Awards (watch below!). The reaction was strong enough that the duo decided to turn the concept into a real film.

In the comedy, Sheneneh and Wanda are modern day independent women trying to make it on their own, one bank robbery at a time.

That is actually not a bad idea. It's been a long time since I saw Sheneneh on 'Martin'.

WTF!These characters are so demeaning to Black women. As a Black woman, I am sick of all the stereotypical portrayals of Black women in movies and televison shows. Norbit sucked and this movie will too. I will ignore this movie just like "Madea". Ugh!
