Sony Pictures is in early negotiations with Moroccan-born, Belgium-raised directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah to bring Bad Boys III (Bad Boys For Life) to the big screen, according to Deadline. Production could begin as soon as August.
The original installment the film, which starred Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, was released in 1995, and helped launch both actors’ careers to a new level.

Following the success Bad Boys, its aptly titled sequel Bad Boys II premiered in 2003. The third installment in the film franchise will reportedly be produced by Jerry Bruckheimer who brought the first two to life.
Last August, Lawrence told Entertainment Weekly Bad Boys III wasn’t likely.
I dont think were going to get one, not the way everythings turning out, Lawrence said. Will is f doing another movie, and I dont think its going to happen.
Evidently, things have changed.
