Looks like two of comedy’s most classic characters are making a return and this time it’ll be on the big screen. If you’re Black and aren’t up on Sheneneh & Wanda, I don’t know what to say. If you aren’t Black, then you get a pass. It looks as though the brief spoof Martin Lawrence & Jamie Foxx did for the BET Awards gained enough buzz to bring this dream collaboration to fruition. Its a testament to their careers as comedians how characters they created over a decade ago still strike a chord with soo many people. The article below has more details via Variety.com:
Screen Gems has acquired “Sheneneh and Wanda,” a comic vehicle for Jamie Foxx and Martin Lawrence to star in a comic caper film, playing female characters they developed during their stand up comedy days.
Foxx will write the script and he and Martin will produce together through Foxx’s Foxxhole and Lawrence’s Runteldat production banners.
The project originated as a parody of a movie trailer for a film called “Skank Robbers,” which Foxx and Lawrence made for the BET Awards. The reaction was strong enough that the duo decided to turn the concept into a real film.
In the comedy, Sheneneh and Wanda are modern day independent women trying to make it on their own, one bank robbery at a time.
Foxx and Lawrence have long tried to find a vehicle to work together, and Screen Gems Clint Culpepper is fast tracking the production.
This will be interesting, I’ll keep ya’ll posted as production on the movie unfolds..
