Martin Lawrence and Will Smith will be headed to Atlanta to shoot Bad Boys III, which is currently titled Bad Boys For Life.
According to the Georgia Film Office, the upcoming sequel is currently in pre-production and will shoot this November through February in Atlanta. The sequel has been in development for a long time. Sony announced two Bad Boys moves in 2015, but there were several delays. Michael Bay directed the first two movies. Director Bay did not like the script and often told Smith and Lawrence in discussions about how the dialogue and scenes could improve. He often allowed them to improvise while the cameras were rolling. Moving forward, Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah will be directing the sequel, which is set to hit theaters in early 2020.

Details for the upcoming feature film have not been revealed. That said, this will be the first time Will Smith will shoot a film where he plays a major role in Atlanta, Georgia. The first Bad Boys movie was a hit, grossing $141,407,024 worldwide.
Casting calls have not been released but stay tuned for upcoming open casting calls, video auditions and film job opportunities. In other entertainment news, Suge Knight's son says Tupac Shakur is still alive.
