Bad Boys 3: Could Will Smith be lining himself up for another sequel? He’s already scheduled to make an I Am Legend prequel and Hancock 2, and now there’s hope he will also star in Bad Boys 3.

If Peter Craig (The Town) can churn out a worthy script, Smith, Martin Lawrence, director Michael Bay and producer Jerry Bruckheimer could all make returns.

Fantastic Four: The reboot of 20th Century Fox’s franchise is moving along. Although no cast has been confirmed for the latest Fantastic Four outing, a crew is being put in place.

Big Momma’s House: Now, is it good things - or bad things - that come in threes? Fox is now preparing to take another trip to Big Momma’s House.

Randi Mayem Singer (Mrs. Doubtfire) has been tasked with assembling a script.
