seventeen years. That’s the amount of time that passed between Bad Boys 2 and Bad Boys 3 hitting theaters. Fans of the franchise were able to find the duo Mike Lowry / Marcus Burnett on their screens in January 2020, this time Will Smith and Martin Lawrence camped again. Three years later, it is on Netflix that the Friends movie is released.
Exit Michael Bay – director of the first two parts – Jerry Bruckheimer chose Belgians Adil El Arbi and Bilal Falla. The latter admitted to them that he liked their work on black, diving into the gang war in the suburbs of Brussels.
In this new opus, our bad boys have almost reached retirement. But before Marcus wants to hang up his gun, Mike takes one last lap. Especially since the policeman is the target of a mysterious man who wants his skin. Neither one nor two of our “pretty boys” are going to go all over town, chain fights and car races for our utmost pleasure.
In France, the public responded as Bad Boys For Life drew 1,726,170 curious children to theaters. It’s also a big hit for Sony internationally, with the film grossing $420 million on a $90 million investment. What opened the door to the fourth part.
But that was without considering Will Smith’s famous slap to Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars, which changed the cards, or at least put the project on hold. A year later, the studios seem ready to move forward with Bad Boys 4. Filming is set to begin in April in Atlanta, still directed by Adil El Arbi and Bilal Fallah.
