Will Smith\u00a0and\u00a0Martin Lawrence\u00a0kicked off CinemaCon by talking up their return to \u201cBad Boys\u201d business.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re hype, we\u2019re excited,\u201d Smith told the crowd of movie theatre owners. He apologized for not being able to be in Las Vegas for the annual convention of the exhibition industry\u2026 sort of.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not sorry we couldn\u2019t be there,\u201d Lawrence admonished him, noting they were four weeks into the film the fourth film in the franchise.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe glad we not there because we here and they\u2019re paying us to be here,\u201d Smith said.<\/p>\n

Smith and Lawrence are being rejoined in \u201cBad Boys 4\u201d by Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, who directed 2020\u2019s \u201cBad Boys for Life.\u201d The rest of the ensemble will also include franchise vets Paola N\u00fanez, Vanessa Hudgens and Alexander Ludwig, along with \u201cEuphoria\u2019s\u201d Eric Dane. Chris Bremner wrote the screenplay.<\/p>\n

For Smith, it\u2019s a chance to turn the page on the ugliness of the Oscars slap incident by reprising one of his beloved roles. He was most recently seen in \u201cEmancipation,\u201d a drama about a runaway slave that was overshadowed by the controversy surrounding his assault of Chris Rock.<\/p>\n

The \u201cBad Boys\u201d series follows Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett, two Miami cops with a talent for quips and racking up a lot of civic and vehicular damage while chasing drug dealers and lowlifes.<\/p>\n

CinemaCon opens as the movie business is finally rising back to pre-pandemic levels, fueled by hits such as \u201cAvatar: The Way of Water\u201d and \u201cThe Super Mario Bros. Movie.\u201d CinemaCon managing director Mitch Neuhauser took the stage to Elton John\u2019s \u201cI\u2019m Still Standing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWith all due respect to Elton it\u2019s not that I\u2019m still standing\u2026 It\u2019s that we\u2019re still standing,\u201d Neuhauser said to loud applause. He noted that it was good to be back in Las Vegas \u201cafter all the garbage we\u2019ve been through\u201d and predicted that \u201cthe door has closed on COVID.\u201d<\/p>\n
