Will Smith has lauded the "aggressive" creative approach taken in 'Bad Boys: Ride or Die'.The 55-year-old actor and Martin Lawrence return as Miami detectives Mike Lowery and Marcus Burnett respectively in the fourth installment of the buddy cop series and says that brave choices have been made in the latest picture.In an interview with Empire magazine, Will said: "It has to feel like it's earned the right to be a movie today. "I always hate when you see sequels that are victory laps. In 'Ride or Die' we're taking some really aggressive creative shots."Smith and Lawrence took inspiration from the original 'Lethal Weapon' film in terms of "pushing the envelope" of character exploration in an action blockbuster.Will said: "We wanted to push the envelope of how much life experience and age specificity you can put into these movies."With this movie we're...

The captain reads: “Wrapped! Nothin’ but Magic every time I’m with my guy. See y’all June 7 for Bad Boys 4!!“
The last sequel, Bad Boys for Life, arrived nearly twenty years after the release of Bad Boys II. The film was a big success, and the studio quickly got the ball rolling on a sequel. Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah returned to direct Bad Boys 4, with production kicking off last April, but they were forced to pause due to the SAG-AFTRA strike.

Having broken big as one of the best things about the excellent Better Call Saul, Rhea Seehorn is headed to big screen franchise world. She's joining the cast of Bad Boys 4.
Bad Boys For Life directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah are at work on the movie in Atlanta, with Will Smith and Martin Lawrence back as Mike Lowery and Marcus Burnett.
The storyline, scripted by Chris Bremner, is under wraps for now, though we do know that Paola Núnez, Vanessa Hudgens and Alexander Ludwig are back as their characters from the previous film and Ioan Gruffudd is new this time. Seehorn's character is, as you'd expect, a mystery.

“Better Call Saul” breakout Rhea Seehorn will be joining Will Smith and Martin Lawrence in the untitled fourth “Bad Boys” film, TheWrap has confirmed. Details of her character – and anything else pertaining to the plot of the movie – are being heavily guarded but no doubt will occur somewhere in Miami.
Seehorn played lawyer Kim Wexler for 60 episodes on Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould’s “Better Call Saul,” a spinoff of the popular “Breaking Bad” that is the rare example of a spinoff being just as good (if not better) than the original.
Seehorn has also been in several movies, everything from the Tim Allen version of “The Shaggy Dog” back in 2006, to the Netflix horror movie “Things Heard & Seen” with Amanda Seyfried (from “American Splendor” filmmakers Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini), but this fourth “Bad Boys” will definitely be her biggest movie yet.

Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are back as our favorite Miami-Dade detectives.
In the first trailer for Sony’s “Bad Boys for Life,” the third installment of the action franchise, Smith’s Mike Lowry and Lawrence’s Marcus Burnett fantasize about retirement from their crime-riddled careers before getting pulled into one last case.
“You want your legacy to be muscle shirts and body counts?” Lawrence asks at the beginning of the trailer.
But after a bad guy from their past comes back into their lives to seek revenge, it doesn’t take long before the dynamic pair get back into the groove of things, effortlessly busting down doors and holding baddies at gunpoint. “One last time,” they say to each other before fist-bumping.
The pair are also joined by newcomers to the franchise Vanessa Hudgens, Alexander Ludwig, and Charles Melton, who play a team of younger cops who have to quickly learn the ropes.

The boys are back in town. After a decade-long development process, the third entry in the Bad Boys franchise is one of those films that needed a trailer to prove its existence was real.
After a series of false starts, new directors and scheduling conflicts, we finally have all the confirmation we need to prove that the film is not only real but that its stars haven't lost a beat in the interim.

Sony Pictures has dropped the first trailer for Will Smith and Martin Lawrence’s Bad Boys For Life, and after watching it, I’m not sure why they made the movie. I was actually looking forward to this, but damn… it looks so uninteresting. The comedy falls flat, and it just doesn’t bring anything new or unique to the table. This is the definition of a cash grab movie.
It’s a shame because I liked these characters, and I liked what Michael Bay did with the first two films, but as you know, Bay did not direct this one. Bad Boys For Life was helmed by Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, who directed a few films that I’ve never seen, and I’m not impressed by what I’m seeing now.
Here’s the synopsis:
Ride together. Die together. Bad Boys For Life. Marcus Burnett (Lawrence...

The new trailer opens in slow motion, with Smith slowly stepping out of an incredibly slick Porsche, only for Lawrence to open his door and bang it right into a fire hydrant.

But the stunts and the jokes don’t stop there. Among some of the other heart stopping, over the top action sequences this time around include the two driving that Porsche through a crowded mall.
“We’re not just black, we’re cops too,” Lawrence says from the passenger seat.

“We ride together, we die together… Bad Boys for life.”
Detectives Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett are ready for action again, as Martin Lawrence and Will Smith have jumped back into the saddle for Bad Boys For Life, the third installment in the beloved franchise.
The fast-talking duo were last seen in Michael Bay’s Bad Boys sequel back in 2003, which might not’ve gone over as well as the original, but was still an enjoyable action romp. Their return has been a long time coming then, but the threequel is finally in production with Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah calling the shots from behind the lens, after the creative pair replaced Joe Carnahan, who was originally set to helm.
Suffice it to say, it’s been a very, very long journey for Bad Boys For Life so far, but now, we finally have the first trailer and it...

"One last time?" "One last time." Sony Pictures has unveiled the first teaser trailer for Bad Boys For Life, the long-awaited sequel to the first two Bad Boys movies (from 1995 and 2003). Michael Bay isn't back for this, instead he's handed over the directing duties to Belgian filmmakers Adil El Arbi & Bilall Fallah, with Bruckheimer still producing. Reuniting "bad boys" cops Will Smith and Martin Lawrence once again - Marcus Burnett (Lawrence) is now a police inspector and Mike Lowery (Smith) is in a midlife crisis. They unite again when an Albanian mercenary, whose brother they killed, promises them an important bonus. Also stars Thomas Brag, Paola Núñez, Jacob Scipio, Joe Pantoliano, Alexander Ludwig, Charles Melton, Jamie Neumann, Massi Furlan, DJ Khaled, with Vanessa Hudgens. Looks and feels a lot like the second movie - so I guess, if it ain't broken, don't fix it. Not sure if this will be any good without Bay.
