BAD BOYS BAD BOYS, WHATCHA GONNA DO?
It’s been almost 25 years since Will Smith and Martin Lawrence played hip young Miami cops in the first Bad Boys action comedy movie, and it was a box office bonanza. They managed to pull together a Bad Boys II in 2006, and it was an even BIGGER hit. A third film in the franchise percolated around Hollywood for 13 years before it came together and Bad Boys For Life is now filming in Miami with Will and Martin and two new acclaimed directors from Belgium. Martin and Will are now old-school cops in their 50’s (but just as funny) and they are called in to work on a drug case with hotshot young detectives. What could possibly go wrong?

Looks like Martin Lawrence still has delusions of grandeur. The stars of Wild Hogs – Lawrence, John Travolta, Tim Allen, and William H Macy, just finished a press junket for the movie at a fancy LA hotel. The other actors arrived with one or two in their entourage but Martin had a group of SIX. Lawrence had all sorts of demands – his Fiji water had to be “glacier cold” at all times or immediately replaced. He ordered a cheeseburger from room service and declared it was “not hot enough.” It had to be remade and delivered in a “hot box.” Best of all, Martin refused to do his interviews in a spacious suite like the other actors- he had to have a BALLROOM . And that’s where he did all his press interviews. One insider remarked ” the ballroom was the only place big enough to hold his EGO!”
