Martin Lawrence And Sony Reunite On ‘Blue Streak’ Sequel


A sequel to the 1999 buddy comedy 'Blue Streak' starring Martin Lawrence is in the works at Sony Pictures.

EXCLUSIVE: Following the success of Bad Boys: Ride or Die, Sony Pictures and Martin Lawrence are looking to revive another classic comedy from the comedian. Released in 1999, the original Blue Streak starred Lawrence as Miles, a jewel thief who tries to retrieve a diamond he left at a police station, whereupon he disguises himself as a detective and gets paired with a real policeman, played by Luke Wilson, to investigate burglaries. Lawrence most recently starred alongside Will Smith in Sony’s Bad Boys: Ride or Die, which kickstarted this year’s summer box office by opening to $56 million domestically, and has since grossed more than $403M worldwide, boosting the Bad Boys franchise past $1 billion in lifetime box office.
