Screen Gems has acquired the rights Sheneneh and Wanda, a new comedy for Jamie Foxx and Martin Lawrence. The duo will play female characters they developed during their stand-up comedy days in the 1990s, Variety reports. You’ll likely remember Sheneneh Jenkins from Martin and Wanda from In Living Color.
The project originated from a parody movie trailer for a film called Skank Robbers, which Foxx and Lawrence made for the 2008 BET Awards. In the skit, the actors cross-dressed to portray two women who make a living robbing banks. The reception was so strong, the duo decided to turn the concept into a real film.
Jamie will write Sheneneh And Wanda and produce alongside Martin. It will be the first time the comic, who have known each other since they started out as stand-up acts, have worked together on a movie.
Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx is the latest in a string of recent celebrities, like Rihanna, Vanessa Hudgens and Cassie, to allegedly have naked pics leak to the interwebs.
