Directors Bilall Fallah and Adil El Arbi have just-finished shooting the Will Smith and Martin Lawrence-starring “Bad Boys For Life.”
Joe Carnahan (“Smokin’ Aces,” “Narc” and “The Grey”) was once attached to write and direct the movie and, according to a recent interview he gave (via The Playlist), some of the details of his scrapped sequel included a back-handed dig at Oscar-winner “The Danish Girl.”
“I hated ‘The Danish Girl’ so much,” Carnahan said. “I said, ‘Could you make a poster for ‘The Danish Girl’ and blow it apart?’ And they said, ‘Yeah, we can do that.’ I fucking hated that movie with the white-hot heat of a thousand suns. I think [the people who worked on ‘The Danish Girl’] are all really talented, I just hated that movie, me personally. I’m sure they hate my movies.”
In case you forgot the movie, “The Danish Girl,” was a Tom Hooper-directed Oscar-bait vehicle starring Eddie Redmayne as painter Lili Elbe, one of the first known cases of sex reassignment surgery.
“Bad Boys For Life” was shot via a screenplay by Chris Bremner. The film is set for release on January 17, 2020.
As expected, Snyder's latest is being torn apart by TIFF attendees. No mercy given. The film, which had its world premiere this evening, is being called by some one of the worst movies to ever premiere at the festival.
