Bad Boys III could be on the cards as Hollywood producers are keen to reunite Will Smith and Martin Lawrence for a third instalment of the buddy cop comedy franchise.
Movie executives at Columbia Pictures have commissioned writer Peter Craig to begin work on a new screenplay for Bad Boys 3.
Although the project is still in its early stages, film bosses hope to entice Smith and Lawrence back to the series as Miami, Florida police detectives, bringing Transformers director Michael Bay and producer Jerry Bruckheimer back on board, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Directed by Michael Bay the original Bad Boys movie was released back in 1995, uniting Smith and Lawrence for the first time.
Despite mixed reviews from the critics the film did well at the box office with a $141 million gross.
It was an eight year wait before Bad Boys returned to the big screen in 2003. Once again the critics weren't impressed but it was a box office smash with a gross of $273 million at the global box office.
