Bad Boys are back in Miami making waves after 30 years.
The series, which has now reached four parts, centers around the hilarious friendship between Will Smith as Mike Lowrey and Martin Lawrence as Marcus Burnett.
The latest installment was directed by Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah. It was distributed by Sony Pictures with a budget of $100 million.
Videos by residents have been going viral on social media about the recent filming of Bad Boys 4 in Brickell, downtown Miami and Fort Lauderdale.
Caplin News Reporter Daniela Zulueta asked the stars what they would like to communicate to the people of Miami about this film.
“Sorry for the traffic because we were shooting.” said Will Smith, American actor and rapper. “We paid attention to the blessing that we have to be able to make a movie together in Miami after 30 years. I would say the biggest difference is we slowed down and really enjoyed this one more than any of the other ones.”
The movie comes out in local theaters on June 7.
