Monday 9th February 2003: Bad Boys 2 Update:
Gabrielle Union has been revealing some information on Bad Boys 2 "We finished. For the most part, we're finished. We've got a couple re-shoots, but it's good. It's typical Michael Bay, so it looks amazing. There's everything exploding. I kill about 15 people. It's awesome". Going into the project she had "Just finished Cradle 2 the Grave where everything is martial arts, so it wasn't a lot of guns and hanging out of cars and shooting people. It was more hand to hand. So going into that, spending a lot of time on the range, working with Miami PD and the Miami SWAT department, that was cool. We had to go through SWAT training and all of that. I won. Don't let them tell you I didn't win the Bronzeman competition".

Friday 7th February 2003: Bad Boys II Update:
Sony has signed a deal with Empire Interactive to make a game based on their film that will be released at the same time as the movie will be released on DVD which is being planned for a Christmas release.

Monday 3rd February 2003: Bad Boys 2 Update:
Gabrielle Union has been letting slip some information about Bad Boys 2 "I might let it leak that Will and Martin remained partners all these years. We pick it up with Martin who is growing a little weary of Will's 'shoot first, ask questions later' routine. Martin is the one who is sort of re-examining his priorities and maybe wants a safer job. There's this Cuban drug lord who is bringing all this Ecstasy into town and Will and Martin must crack the ring. Hypothetically speaking, I might just be an undercover DEA agent who happens to infiltrate the ring and fall in love with Will."

Tuesday 14th January 2003: Terminator 3 Update:
A rumour is circulating that Sony are contemplating moving the release date of Bad Boys 2 so that it is released on the same day as Terminator 3. Now what is interesting is that Sony will be distributing Terminator 3 inetrnationally for Warners while in America Terminator 3 is being distributed by Warners. If it does happen it will certainly hurt one of them badly, guess it could come down to the reviews to decide which one you go and see.

Tuesday 7th January 2003: Bad Boys 2 Update:
And so the preview images just keep on coming, this time it's the turn of Columbia courtesy of those nice people at

Joblo.com. Joblo has literally posted a huge batch of pics from most of Columbia's upcoming movies for 2003.

The kick ass trailer hit the web a couple of weeks ago, now here come the first official images from Michael Bay's Bad Boys 2.

Narcotics detectives Mike Lowrey (Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Lawrence) have been assigned to a high-tech task force investigating the flow of designer ecstasy into Miami. Their inquiries inadvertently lead them to a major conspiracy involving a vicious kingpin (Jordi Molla), whose ambitions to take over the city's drug trade have ignited a bloody turf war. But Mike and Marcus' friendship and working relationship is threatened when Mike begins to develop feelings for Marcus' sister Syd (Gabrielle Union). Unless they can separate the personal from the professional, the bad boys are in danger of blowing the case and endangering Syd's life in the process.

Tuesday 31st December 2002: Bad Boys II Update:
I was playing a security guard as in extra for the last few weeks.
The basic plot involves the Lawrence and Smith characters chasing down drug smugglers. The dealers are smuggling in ecstasy hidden in dead bodies.
I played s security guard at the "Spanish Palms Funeral Home" where the
bodies were coming in. All in all it looks to be interesting and very funny. 'Thanks to Chris'.

Monday 2nd December 2002: Bad Boys 2 Update:
A scooper has managed to get a hold of the first trailer of the upcoming Will Smith and Martin Lawrence Bad Biys 2 Trailer and this is what they ahd to say over at comingsoon.net " Yesterday I was called into a focus group at a mall. There I screened the teaser trailer for BAD BOYS 2. Here is what it was:A lady is waking down a hall. All of a sudden 3 men come up to her with guns and she does some kung foo and beats them. The screen flashes and she turns into the columbia logo. Then the logo explodes and on the screen it says THEY'RE BACK AND THEY'RE BAD! You see a shot of Martin Lawrence and Will Smith on the highway with a worried look on their face. On a firey backround the words BAD BOYS 2, COMING NEXT SUMMER appear then a voice says presented in Digital Matrix picture and sound!"

Wednesday 13th November 2002: Bad Boys 2 Update:
Coming Soon scored a spoiler filled look at the shooting of Bad Boys 2. "On Nov 12, 2002 the crew was filming a scene from the movie Bad Boys 2 in Coral Gables, Fl where I live. I was there for most of the day to watch. The scene involved a funeral procession that was stopped by Miami PD (cars & helicopter). Smith and Lawerence stop the hearst, pull out the coffin and pry it open looking for hidden money. However, they find none and realize the have stopped the wrong hearst. This was the only scene they shot all day".

Monday 11th November 2002: Bad Boys 2 Update:
"About 3 weeks ago, I was on vacation in Miami, and across from the Hyatt, where I was staying, Bad Boys 2 was filming a car chase scene. A partially destroyed van with bodies hanging out of the back of it was being followed by another car and a mustang followed the two cars, filming them. Tires squealed, cars crashed. Pretty sweet!" Thanks to SpecialEd.

Friday 29th August 2002: Bad Boys 2 Update:
Looks like Bad Boys 2 has had its release date set as 18th 2003. I'm surprised at that I would have thought Will Smith would have picked the 4th July as it is when his other blockbusters have been released and he even christened the 4th July weekend Big Willie Weekend. Let's see if it changes.

24th July 2002: Bad Boys 2 Update:
Gabrielle Union has been speaking to MTV about her upcoming role in Bad Boys 2 opposite Will Smith and Martin Lawrence.

"I'm like the black Annie Oakley," she said with a laugh, referencing the young 19th century gunslinger immortalized in film and television. "I shoot everything that moves. It's just going to be a lot of fun and a lot of action. You know, typical Michael Bay, Jerry Bruckheimer ... tons of explosions!"

"I play Syd, who's Martin's sister and Will's love interest," Union explained. "She's an undercover D.E.A. agent working on busting an ecstasy ring. And she's actually been able to kind of work her way pretty far up in the criminal underworld hierarchy. And wacky hijinks ensue!
There's kind of a sexual tension between my character and Will's character, Mike. And it provides animosity between him and Martin's character."

Bad Boys 2 kicks off shooting in August of this year under the direction of Michael Bay. Hit the link for the full article at MTV.

Update: 26/4/01
Bad Boys 2 Update:
Page created.This one could either go ahead at any time or fall at the first hurdle. There have been reports that the film is to be made for about two years or so now. Some sources have said that Martin Lawrence will not appear in the sequel, others say that he is in the movie but only in a cameo role and others say that he will be in the film, but will die! As for Will Smith, well we just don't know. He's off doing Ali at the moment and he'll follow that one up with Men In Black 2 straight afterwards. And for director Michael Bay, well, he said on the Bad Boys Special Edition DVD (US) that Sony have approached him to do the movie, but he would only do it if the original two leads were up for it too. But Tom Dey (Shanghai Noon) has also been attached to the project. The script is apparently in the 'rewrite' stage with I Spy scribes Cormac and Marianne Wibberly doing their magic on the screenplay at the moment.
