Martin Lawrence Producing new TV Comedy

Mocha — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 17:57:46 +0000

Martin Lawrence is returning to TV, executive producing an African-American comedy for cable network TV One. The project is the latest effort by independent producers to serve an audience on cable that’s been largely neglected by studios and broadcasters since the merger of the WB and UPN. Without so much as a pilot order, writer-director Bentley Kyle Evans (“Martin,” “The Jamie Foxx Show”) shot four episodes of “Love That Girl!” The comedy stars Tatyana Ali (“The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” “TV One Access”).

“Girl!” was made on a shoestring budget, with Evans calling in favors from friends and colleagues to shoot four episodes over a five-day period in a converted warehouse. Although self-financing a pilot has become more common as producers struggle to break though an increasingly consolidated studio landscape, producing four entire episodes is rare. Producers managed to deliver the package on a total budget of roughly $1.2 million.

Columbia Pictures is developing a third installment of the high-octane “Bad Boys” franchise. Their hoping to have a script that would reunite director Michael Bay, producer Jerry Bruckheimer and stars Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. At this point, with the project in the early stages, none has a deal to return. The “Bad Boys” movies feature Smith and Lawrence as Miami detectives Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett, caught up in cases involving car chases and explosions. The first “Boys,” released in 1995, helped launch Bay as a director and Smith as an action star even though it was not a fire-stamped blockbuster — it grossed $66 million domestically and $141 million worldwide. The sequel, released in 2003 when Bay and Smith’s stars had risen, grossed $138 million domestically and $273 million worldwide. All parties have expressed a willingness to return if a story can be hammered out. One potential hurdle, however, would be the costly deals with the players. source

The name of the movie is “Skank Robbers” featuring Martin’s character “Sheneneh” and Jamie Foxx’s “Wanda” character from In Living Color. It should be funny…I hope they didn’t overdo it. These two together though, who knows?
