'Bad Boys 3' -- Yep, Really
Filed under: Action, Deals, Sony, Scripts, DIY/Filmmaking, Newsstand, Remakes and Sequels
Face it -- it's Michael Bay's world now, and we just live in it. Weary of dominating the world with gigantic robots and Megan Fox, Bay might just be returning with the Bad Boys. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Columbia has hired Peter Craig to pen a third installment of the Bad Boys series, and hope to get the old team back together in the truest sense of action movies. The studio hopes that a strong script can lure them all back for another mission. Neither Bay, Jerry Bruckheimer, Will Smith or Martin Lawrence have a deal to return, and since this is still in the early stages of development, that's no surprise. However, THR notes that all have expressed an interest in returning if the story is strong enough. The potential hurdle is the massive salaries Smith and Lawrence now command, something that's proving to be a problem with many action movies these days.
So, what else can I say? Bad Boys 3 is coming. I'll make a shocking prediction and say that it'll take place in Miami, feature a drug cartel, some human trafficking, and a lot of explosions. Explosions with tanks coming out of them. There will be at least one smoking hot chick. At the end, Smith and Lawrence will sing Bad Boys with the wrong words. It's going to be Baytastic, but at least it isn't a Bad Boys reboot.

I know I'll get some hate for this, but I love Bad Boys II. The first one is all right, but I have always appreciated Bay for what he is: mindless action. I'd be up for a third flick, and besides, like you said, at least it's not another reboot. Though, it's a sad state of affairs when that is the comforting thing.

No hate here...Bad Boys 2 was excellent! Looking forward to seeing both Will Smith and Martin back in these roles!

Its gonna be awesome, deal with it. The "Bad Boys" films are awesome action movies, and if you take Bay at face value he's a pretty talented action director. Every movie doesn't have, nor does it need a deeper meaning. You know what I need in a movie after watching "The Virgin Suicides" or "American Beauty"? M4s, Hummers, Choppers, Supercars, Boats, Explosions, RPGs, White Supremacist getting their head Somali Pirated'd, hot chicks, and Will Smith calling someone the n-word. That is the yin to the yang of "Brokeback Mountain".

Bad Boys 2 was a great movie. It's one of those that if I run into it while flipping channels, i have to stop and watch the rest of it.
If 3 is anything like 2, it'll be a great one.

Add Megan Fox as the hot chick, some uber cool white guy as a third partner and bring back the two latin cops that were always talking shit. THIS CAN EQUAL WIN!

They really ARE too old for this sh*t, esp. fat Martin Lawrence, who shouldn't be playing anything but middle-aged sitcom dads or Big Momma (w/all that latex to cover his REAL fat!)...

The bad boys franchise is every warm blooded American's guilty pleasure. Gratuitous everything. And as long as it stays under 2 1/2 hours, it will be immensely gratifying.

DAMN! YES!! I can't wait!! I am a huuuuge fan of both Bad Boys and Bad Boys II..The first one had a better plot..Because they had to protect Julie, and switch identities, without Theresa or Julie finding out..But Bad Boys II definitely wins as far as action is concerned. I consider both movies two of my favorites of all time and would abolutely love a third installment.
