For the longest time, Foxx and Lawrence have been wanting to star in a film together. They finally found the perfect opportunity with a film called Sheneneh and Wanda. The actors will play two female characters which they created for stand-up comedy.
The project began as a parody on the ficitious film called Skank Robbers during the BET Awards. A video is now posted online. Fans of the funny men liked it so much, that they decided to make it into a full-length film, and Screen Gems has finally acquired the rights.
Foxx will write the screenplay and co-produce the film with Lawrence via their respective production boxes, Foxxhole and Runteldat.
The story follows two modern, independent women who spend their lives doing robberies.
On February 12, we can see Jamie Foxx in Valentine’s Day, sharing the screen with an impressive cast, featuring Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway and Bradley Cooper. As for Martin Lawrence, he will star in Death at a Funeral with Luke Wilson, opening April 16, 2010.
