Gossip Bite: Skank Robbers

Comedians Martin Lawrence and Jamie Foxx are teaming up to bring their female characters to the big screen! This should be hilarious! I laughed out loud at the mock trailer for “SKank Robbers” that the duo made to air during the BET Awards.

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 Runtelldat 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.
