Enter Peter Craig, who's knocking out the script as we speak. An established author of "darkly comic novels", and a graduate of the Iowa Writers Workshop under the tutelage of Tobias Wolff (thanks Wikipedia!), he's recently been working on the screenplay for Cowboy Bebop, adapted from the anime and set to star Keanu Reeves as Spike.
Bad Boys was solid but unremarkable. Bad Boys 2 was an absurdly overblown, late-coming surprise follow-up, which mixed the good (it's sporadically funny and has a freeway car chase which knocks a similar scene in its immediate contemporary The Matrix: Reloaded into a cocked hat), the bad (it was two and half bloody hours long) and the ugly (another, supremely bad-taste chase in which morgue-corpses are strewn all over the road). It was so ridiculous that it was a key inspirational source for Hot Fuzz.
So what do we think? Is there any way that Smith and Bay will actually turn out for this? And do we want them to? Was Bad Boys 2 fun enough to warrant more, or have we had enough already? Over to you...
YES! The thing about the bad boys series is, its one of those films where you can just sit back and enjoy without actually having to think too much or actually at all. Great action and comedy scenes, just like Bay's transformers series. ... Read More
i found Bad Boys 2 to be pointless, but stupidly fun rubbish, i would whole heartedly welcome another one, on 2 conditions: 1: the original cast comes back. and 2: they dont try make it all family friendly by making it a PG-13, and cutting out all the violence and swearing. would be fucking pointless if they did that! ...

I like the Bad Boys films, they're good fun. What I don't like is Michael Bay's insistence on over-saturating every shot and tweaking the contrast to its absolute limit. It works for a cheap music video but stretch that to two hours plus (hello Bad Boys 2) and you've got yourself a headache. ... Read More
If they do I hope that they get the hang of editing as the last one was at least an hour too long (also ignoring the rip off scenes from Police Story). This also has the abomination of Martin Lawrence so is not a good thing. ... Read More
