Jamie Foxx & Martin Lawrence to Resurrect Sheneneh and Wanda in New Movie

Foxx and Lawrence Eying Sheneneh and Wanda


Variety reports that Screen Gems has acquired Sheneneh and Wanda, a comic vehicle for Jamie Foxx and Martin Lawrence to star in. The duo would play female characters they developed during their stand up comedy days in the caper film.

Foxx will write the script and he and Martin will produce together through Foxx's Foxxhole and Lawrence's Runteldat production companies.

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 (watch below!). 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.

A skit is one thing but a whole movie with both characters? I don't think it'll go over too well.

I wonder if Spike Lee is going to call Martin and Jamie out, like he did Tyler Perry.

He had words with Jamie about his baffoonery around the time of Bamboozled. He may or may not say something about this latest cultural cataclysm, but he certainly ain't scared, that's for sure.

I doubt it, but Tyler should ask for Madea make a cameo appearance in the film.

And anyway, this movie would've been more appropriate if it was made in the mid 90s.

I've often wondered if construction of a red lightsaber takes place before you can become a Republican, or is it something you do after initiation. Dah, well... shrug
