In a moment that will go down in history, two beloved Hollywood actors from the 90s, Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, brought their star power to Saudi Arabia for the country's first ever Hollywood premiere. The highly anticipated event took place on May 24 at Roshn Front's VOX Cinema in Riyadh, and it was nothing short of spectacular.
According to Arab News, the two stars were in Saudi Arabia to promote their latest film in the popular "Bad Boys" series, titled "Bad Boys: Ride or Die." The movie is set to hit theaters in the United States on June 5, making it the fourth installment in the franchise. With such a huge fan base around the world, it's no surprise that the premiere was met with much excitement and anticipation.
During an interview with the media outlet, Smith shared his thoughts on the latest "Bad Boys" movie. He explained that one of the goals of the franchise was to show the characters growing in an age-appropriate way. "We are trusting that the audience wants to grow with us, wants to go with us, and wants to follow the natural progression of life and what these characters would be going through," he said.
The movie, which comes four years after the third "Bad Boys" film, "Bad Boys For Life," and almost three decades after the original 1995 movie, was directed by Bilall Fallah and Adil El-Arbi, two talented filmmakers from Morocco who grew up in Belgium. Smith praised their unique perspective and the fresh energy they brought to the project. "You know, they were [fans] when the first movie came out, so there's such a reverence for the original films. They're bringing that energy, but they also want to put their signature on it," he said.
Aside from their creative vision, Smith also appreciated the directors' openness to incorporating spirituality into the film. It was evident that the collaboration between the actors and directors was a fun and fulfilling experience, and their chemistry translated into an incredible movie that fans are eagerly awaiting.
The "Bad Boys" franchise, which kicked off with the first movie in 1995, has been a huge success, grossing over $840 million at the box office over the past 29 years. With this latest installment, it is expected to surpass the billion-dollar mark, solidifying its place as one of the most beloved and successful movie franchises of all time.
Fans of the series can't wait to see what Smith and Lawrence have in store for them in "Bad Boys: Ride or Die." The anticipation and excitement for the movie are at an all-time high, and it's safe to say that it will be another hit for the iconic duo. It's truly a reunion that fans have been waiting for, and it's happening at just the right time. As they say, "Bad boys for life!"
